I generally try to nickname my pokemon, usually something fitting to it's type/species or its personality..but sometimes they're just random..such as:

Forretress - Tahoe (as in chevy..."like a rock!")
Relicanth - Brock (the eyes!)
Swampert - Squanto
Umbreon - Moose (it's just a great name..)
Tyranitar - Grendel
Dragonite - Smaug

I just need a good name for Torterra..

Sneasels: Fai-Miroke, Lesaens, Airan-Jo, Reqosh... just four out of 152 there. xD
Persian: Laaqnessa
Misdreavuses: Valtou and Miyushani
Luxray: Senirasu
Cradilies: Zoqikhet and Kotoko
Gyarados: Seikrats

I love nicknaming my pokemon! ^_^ They're not always the most original names, but I feel closer to my pokemon if I name them. So here's some of them:

Munchlax: Onion (my brother's idea, I thought it was cute.)
Togepi: Hanafairy, Autumn
Gardevoir: RALTZI (She came from Sapphire)
Clefables: Cherry and STRAWBERRY (FireRed)
Altaria: Anna
Vulpix: Firebell
Togekiss: Lyco (short for Lycoris) and Tri
Pachirisu: Grey
Flareon: Ricky
Milotic: Fins
Raichu: Volty
 

SoulGuardian

PICHU ROXORZ!
I only nickname the Pkmn on my team and the nicknames are given because of a certain quality of that Pokemon:

Empoleon name Empress (It's a female and an Emperor penguin.)
Pikachu named Volt (Volt Tackle can only be learned by the 'Chus.)
Cherrim named Sakura (It's a cherry blossom and in Japanese, sakura means cherry blossom.)
Crobat named Vampire (Vampires can transform into bats! DUN DUN DUN!)
Masquerain named Bug Eyes (The two wings on it look like eyes and it's a bug!)
Gallade named Katana (It's the "Blade Pokemon"!)

On Silver I have:

Golduck named Goldy
Golbat named Battman
Corsola named Z
HootHoot named.....F.U. (I mean it!)
Slowbro named Bob
Figuiring out a name for Cyndiquil.

Well, that's it!

PS: I also have a Ditto named Blobby! (Pearl)

I nickname my pokemon sporadic things, and for a while I just gave my pokemon numbers for nicknames (so easy to sort out).

Brongzong~Eclipse
Ramprados~Rampy^^
Espeon~Solaris(Its a sonic thing)
Heracross~Beezle
Ambipom~Joker
Blissey~GotHP?
 
The only pokemon I nickname are ones that I plan on using for battles/contests sometime later.

Infernape - Chimmy
Luxray - Casey. I wanted to give it the name Caleb, but since it was a girl, thought Casey would be better.
Kricketune - Alto
Bibaral - Bobby
Staraptor - Mac. Was going to call it Mukkubird, but sadly enough couldn't remember the name.
Lucario - Riley

Numbers? lol seems a little cruel...."Go 88" lol it's also funny to say the least....

I gave them 10 letter codes. The code would be made up of:

<species number><4 letter abbreviation of species name><pokemon number>

So for example, if I chose Squirtle on my fire red, it would be:
007SQRT001
Or if I caught Dialga, and it happened to be the twenty-third pokemon I had ever caught, it would be:
483DLGA023

Pokemon Rule!
I never really name my pokemon but my brother does.
He comes up with the weirdest and most original names and he refuses to use my ideas (which sound alot better)
Pluss he tends to repete one word.
E.g
Chikorita-Plant plant
Cindaquile-Flame flame
Totodile- Pond pond

its weird XD

Bulbasaur=Fern
Squirtle=River
Mewtwo=Rage
Lugia=Thorn
