What nickname did you pick for the player character?

[Brian the Pine Tree]

I just put my first and middle initials I think. I don't have a nickname in real life so I didn't bother thinking of one for the game.

 

[Bananarama]

I used my old irl name when I played Y. I probably will never use that name again though, but it was okay while it lasted.

 

[Hydrangea]

I used my real name for my character's name (because it's a luxury now, as I have an 8 letter name and prior to XY I was unable to use it). However, my character's nickname was "daddy" for the memes.

 

[Ninja Bulbasaur]

The very, very, very first run through I had of Pokemon Y, I had named my character, "Yuma". I can't exactly recall why.

 

[LadyTriox]

I'm pretty sure i'm called 'Alice' on my y file.

I'm a pretty big alice in wonderland fan

 

[The Black Charizard]

I usually take my first name (Karen), because it's the easiest way

 

[Krokketto Prime Danjal]

I chose Slic-K because that's what it made me sound like and my name begins with K.

 

[Shayuin]

I used Sam as my nickname, just as a short way of saying my in-game name from X version.

 

[Nerdy McNerdface]

I didn't pick a nickname in my first playthrough, but when I eventually replay X I'll definitely make my underlings refer to me as Lord Vader.

 

[Mega Altaria]

Well in X, I played as the girl character and nicknamed the player PokéMay, from the combination of Pokémon and the name of my player May because I liked Hoenn so much and I totally wasn't a creative person back then.

In Y, I played as the boy and I think I named my character 'Big X', but I can't really remember. Pretty sure it's because I named my character Xavier, after the name of the male protagonist in the X and Y prerelease trailers.

 

[XlordgoldX]

Ill either name my protagonists, Lrdgold, or my irl nickname, or whatever their canon name is. Always name my rival whatever their canon name is as well.

 

[Daizy]

I used a shortened version of my ingame name, so Soph for Sophie. Very uncreative, I know.

 

[Miss Alexis]

My name in the game is Alexis but when the friends in the game wanted to give me a nickname I obviously stuck with Miss Alexis

 

[Leonhart]

During my first play-through of X version, I picked Kitsune as my nickname, because I was really interested in youkai and Japanese folklore back then. In Y version, my nickname was my actual real-life name. I just didn't feel like making a more creative nickname in that game.

 

[Steven of Venus]

Raptor, because Tyranitar is so epic, so empowering, so immortal, and eternally triumphant, that tickling your tummy for more ice cream cones, as he evolved from Red's Mt. Silver Cave to the peak, he's kind of like Saruman besting Gandalf, since Count Dooku is Darth Tyranus, or Tyranitar.

 

[Alloutℯ]

Ginger in X 'cause I was playing as a girl, and Buddy in Y. I didn't think much when I invented those nicknames lol.

 

[ᎠᎬȺᎢḤ]

My ingame name was Reginald in X version, so my nickname was Reggie. It's not very creative because I came up with it in a hurry.

 

[Tiffo]

I haven't played X Y or U/S U/M but in gen 5, 4, 3 I just used my real name, not very creative xD

 

[AuroraBeam]

I've always used my real name for when I play as the female characters so I just used my actual nickname too.
It's only three letters long and it looks a little odd like it got cut off in the text bubbles whenever one of the characters use the nickname...

 

[landipan]

I chose Aria, I think it's a really pretty name.
