[JadeDragonSoul]

Eh, might as well:

FR Team:
---------------
Butterfree - Champ
Gyarados - Gyakusatsu
Electabuzz - Powerhouse
Arcanine - Shisa

'Champ' only because he beat the Kanto Champ for me in every conceivable way; I traded him over to LG and had him battle Gary's final pokemon, each one being different.

E Team:
--------------
Blaziken - Shoryuashi
Mightyena - Fenrir
Walrein - Dragonfly

D Team:
-------------
Infernape - Shoryuken
Torterra - Vee-dub
Empoleon - Dood
Staraptor - Justice
Luxray - Khafra

'Justice' because I used Staraptor in the majority of my battles with Team Galactic, and he was the one pokemon to take down every single Galactic leader in the game.

P Team:
------------
Porygon - Bit 64
Gengar - Egregore
Metagross - Hovercomp
Spiritomb - Shi 108
Sableye - Glitterimp
Misdreavus - Lansy

Pt Team:
------------
Mawile - Me
Mawile - Stalin
Staryu - Darren
Chinchou - Oscar
Nosepass - Ganmen

Not sure where I came up with the names for Staryu and Chinchou; those'll probably change eventually. The 'Me' and 'Stalin' thing is a Robot Chicken reference.

Champ - 10/10 You named it because of its vigor, I like that! XD Good name, could have more too it, but considering how special it is, I think it works great.
Gyakusatsu - 6/10 "Gyaku" alone would be great, the "satsu" after it is too much.
Powerhouse - 1/10 Not a nickname, more of a term to describe it, especially because "power" and "house" are two different words. Doesn't work at all and I think worthy of a much better name.
Shisa - 7/0 Add more after it and it would be a 10. (It's a girl right?)

Shoryuashi - 5/10 Falls in the same trap as Gyarados. Too wordy for such a long name. Splitting it up would be better. I like how creative you're being though.
Fenrir - 10/10 A recognizable, good nickname that is still unique. Fits it well!
Dragonfly - 1/10 How does this work? XD

Shoryuken - 7.5/10 Not too bad, too many syllables though for a nickname.
Vee-dub - 1.5/10 Just doesn't fit this Pokemon well. Looks odd and flows odd too.
Dood - 1/10 Doesn't fit this noble Pokemon. It's too simple and "dumb" sounding.
Justice - Great name. 10/10 Sounds great that also fits this Pokemon.
Khafra - 10/10 Original, fits, flows and looks great.

Bit 64 - 1.5/10 The "Bit" is good, but numbers are a no-no!!
Egregore - 10/10 Original, and even though its long, it flows well so it works!
Hovercomp - 2/10 Two words combined just does not work sometimes.
Shi 108 - 1.5/10 No numbers! Add more to the Shi perhaps?
Glitterimp - 3/10 Another case where two words don't make the best name. Tossing the "p" for Glitterim would be a 10/10 (Amazing how one letter makes a difference! Don't you think?)
Lansy - 8/10 Not too shabby. It works.

Darren - 6/10 Not bad, but needs to be spiffed up.
Oscar - 5/10 Same as above.
Ganmen - 8/10 Creative name, flows well.

Sorry if it seems I got a bit "lazy" as I went on but you had a LOT of names I needed to look at.

 

[Disaster_Lord]

Lets give this a try...
I use this team mainly to annoy some of my foes in wi-fi

Gallade- Rothgar M(this thing cant be female. lol). Book char.
Clefable-...F. Yep no nickname i like the original one.
Lucario-Kvothe M. Book char.
Mamoswine-Jarod M. Another book char.
Tyranitar-Jessica F. An exgirlfriend name.
Skarmory-Ajax M. The great general...yep another book char.

Rate or hate.

 

[GreenDay4ever]

hmm.. I only name the most precius pokemon I have, here are some...

Pinsir: The Beatle
Infernape: Hothead
Golduck: Duckster
Porygon-Z: Linux
Umbreon: Twinkle
Togekiss: Cloudy

not really original, but I like them

 

[JadeDragonSoul]

i only gave a few of my pokes nicknames

Infernape- Ace
Zapdos- Zeus
Scizor- Coors Light

Ace - 10/10 Great nickname for it.
Zeus - 10/10 Perfect!
Coors Light - 1/10 Um...not quite!

 

[JadeDragonSoul]

I have only two pokemon with nicknames:

Treecko: Torcko

Hariyama: Hoyama

The thing with nicknames is that you have to plan for its evolutions, so you're really naming the final evolution.

So in this case, Torcko would be a Sceptile. Unless you have it as a Little Cup team or something so it will always be a Treecko.

Torcko - 5/10 Not bad, but could be a lot better. Hard to rate because I'm confused about the Treecko/Sceptile thing.
Hoyama - 9/10 Matches the Pokemon well and sounds great.

 

[~-Falcon-~]

starmie = death star
gallade = gladiator

Jarod - 6/10 Looks simple, bit sounds ok.
Jessica - ...lol.

Porygon-Z: Linux

Linux is pretty cool. X3 Other than that, like you said, unoriginal. But if you like them then that's all that matters.

 

[JadeDragonSoul]

Rate mine!


starmie = death star
gallade = gladiator
metagross = terminator
staraptor = assassin
abomasnow = Frosty
lapras = wave

Death Star - 3/10 A Starmie isn't what comes to mind when I think of the word "death". XD It doesn't work.
Gladiator - 8/10 Ok nickname for the Gallade. Sounds good, but less of a name and more of a "thing".
Terminator - 6/10 Same as above.
Assassin - 4/10 Same as above.
Frosty - 1/10 Too cliche/unoriginal.
Wave - 6/10 It works ok, but could be better.

Try to toy with the names and words more instead of sticking with what comes to mind first. That's what I suggest.

 

[JadeDragonSoul]

Porygon-Z - Vista
Gallade (M) - Gallant
Gardevoir (F)- Serenity
Breloom (M) - Skippy
Glaceon (F) - Glacia
Leafeon (F) - Gaia

Vista - 9/10 Reminds me of someone's Linux I just rated. Lol.
Gallant - 9/10 Works well got the Gallade. Looks good, Sounds like a nickname.
Serenity - 9/10 A cliche fantasy name, but works fine here.
Skippy - 7/10 Good as a nickname, could be better by toying with the name, but overall good.
Glacia - 10/10 Perfect for a Glaceon.
Gaia - 10/10 Perfect.

[JadeDragonSoul]

PT team:
Aquaarmor-empoleon
Bob-Foretress
Joe-Lucario
Ella-Vaporeon
Nick-Gyrados
Sam-Electivire
Suggestions are welcome.

As a "rule" human names are awful on Pokemon. But Ella works well, so 10/10 for Ella.

Everyone else 1/10. As for Aquaarmor, two words combined doesn't work either.

Suggestions, these are just as if I were to name them myself:

Empoleon: Mozart, Raiden, Noble, Regal, Prince.
Foretress - Hunter, Clarr
Lucario - Lucien, Raphael
Vaporeon - Pearl, Saphira, Ariel, Zora
Gyarados - Leviathan, Bane
Electivire - Vyre

 

[Pokealchoholic]

I have a few. Most of them are ridiculous.

Salamance-Lance
Giratina-Fearmonger
Togepi-Togepie
Regice-Regifreeze
Registeel-Regimech
Regirock-Registone
Regigigas-Regigiant
Dusclops-Fear
Kyogre-Jyogre

 

[Nightlingbolt]

Lance: 1/10
Fearmonger: 2/10
Togepie: 1/10
Regifreeze: 3/10
Regimech: 3/10
Registone: 3/10
Regigiant: 3/10
Fear: 3/10
Jyogre: 1/10
Overall: 2.1/10

Your nicknames suck for the most part, but that's just because you're changing/adding letters or being redundant. Try a little more originality. For example, naming a Dusknoir Unibrow would be better, as it's a reference to its one eye. Granted, I'm probably a hypocrite with some of the names I'm presenting, but Platinum was really the first time I started regularly nicknaming my Pokemon.


Platinum:
Ni (Torterra-M)
Sturm (Staraptor-M)
Zelda (Floatzel-F)
Spike (Jolteon-M)
Damien (Houndoom-M)
Alice (Mismagius-F)

Emerald:
Reed (Sceptile-M)
Nami (Pelipper-F)
Belle (Gardevoir-F
Gatsby (Hariyama-M)
Larxene (Manectric-F)
Humphrey (Camerupt-M)

 

[Zenotwapal]

Here's some of mine:

Charizard- FIREBALL
Kyroge- SeaGod
Groudon- LandGod
Infernape- Titano

Just some of them.

 

[zlxq3000]

Champ - 10/10 You named it because of its vigor, I like that! XD Good name, could have more too it, but considering how special it is, I think it works great.
Gyakusatsu - 6/10 "Gyaku" alone would be great, the "satsu" after it is too much.
Came up with the name because it's part of Gyarados's name; it means 'destruction', so I think it suits Gyarados quite fine.
Powerhouse - 1/10 Not a nickname, more of a term to describe it, especially because "power" and "house" are two different words. Doesn't work at all and I think worthy of a much better name.
'Powerhouse' is one word. It just means something that's ridiculously powerful, which he is. He's one of my strongest pokemon.
Shisa - 7/0 Add more after it and it would be a 10. (It's a girl right?)
...It's a male... And it's what Arcanine's design is based off of...

Shoryuashi - 5/10 Falls in the same trap as Gyarados. Too wordy for such a long name. Splitting it up would be better. I like how creative you're being though.
Means 'Rising Dragon Kick', which suits its nature of kicking things.
Fenrir - 10/10 A recognizable, good nickname that is still unique. Fits it well!
Dragonfly - 1/10 How does this work? XD
It's an ice-type. What two types are weak against ice? Dragon and flying. :3

Shoryuken - 7.5/10 Not too bad, too many syllables though for a nickname.
Vee-dub - 1.5/10 Just doesn't fit this Pokemon well. Looks odd and flows odd too.
It's a Venusaur-Wannabe... a VW... A Vee-dub.
Dood - 1/10 Doesn't fit this noble Pokemon. It's too simple and "dumb" sounding.
I guess Disgaea references are lost on you...
Justice - Great name. 10/10 Sounds great that also fits this Pokemon.
Khafra - 10/10 Original, fits, flows and looks great.

Bit 64 - 1.5/10 The "Bit" is good, but numbers are a no-no!!
Yeah, I'm thinking about renaming it...
Egregore - 10/10 Original, and even though its long, it flows well so it works!
Hovercomp - 2/10 Two words combined just does not work sometimes.
Thinking about renaming it, too...
Shi 108 - 1.5/10 No numbers! Add more to the Shi perhaps?
Want to rename it as well.
Glitterimp - 3/10 Another case where two words don't make the best name. Tossing the "p" for Glitterim would be a 10/10 (Amazing how one letter makes a difference! Don't you think?)
Eh, it's all I could think of at the time.
Lansy - 8/10 Not too shabby. It works.

Darren - 6/10 Not bad, but needs to be spiffed up.
Oscar - 5/10 Same as above.
Ganmen - 8/10 Creative name, flows well.

Sorry if it seems I got a bit "lazy" as I went on but you had a LOT of names I needed to look at.

Comments in bold.

[Azayzal]

I only really use nicknames for my EV'd Pokemon and i put them with a themed base name to keep them easily distinguishable from my other teams.

Stealth Rock Sweeper Team
Heatran (M) - De-myX. Irony of a water users name for a fire type Pokemon
Tyranitar (F) - Mad-reaX. a loose spelling on Madre which is mother in italian apparently.
Electrivire (M) - Xam-eios. Just a name i liked for him
Magmortar (F) - Fi-raX. Obvious choice if you play Final Fantasy
Scizor (F) - Et-aX. My friend loves tea so... anagram.
Raichu (F) - Xolotl. Aztec god of thunder.
