Pokemon Value

Not sure this is the right place, but I'm pritty sure. Please move if not so.

OK, I was talking to a friend today, talking about pokemon and compeditive play. I mentioned my Shinies that I cought and he wanted one. When I told them that they were named he said that names on a shiny makes them 'less valuable.' I was confused by this. How does a name make a pokemon lose its 'value?' I mean, as long as it's not a dumb name like BOB or something naughty, how can that be bad?

I'm sorry, this really baffled me and I just can't wrap my head around it. Someone clear this up for me please? Thank you. ^^
 
It doesn't. Most people don't like nicknames because they have a habit of sounding silly. So if you get one in a trade you can't change it and that may make other trainers laugh at you for having a pokemon that has a name.
So mostly it's peer pressure.

Hmm...I guess that make sense...I name my pokemon after people. The shiny I was talking about was named 'Malcolm.' I guess not to many people have as much time on their hands as I do, coming up with names. Oh well. Thanks Kim.
 
Uh, alright. Question answered. ^_^
