I enjoy making up names. Since the introduction of natures in the pokemon games I'll try to make the nicknames with there personality. But I'm a huge nerd.

I usually don't, because when I'm perusing the pc boxes, I can never remember which ones are which when given fake names.

I don't nickname mine.

I grew up watching the series, and I got so used to hearing them simply called by their species name that giving them a nickname seems weird to me.

sometimes I un-capitalize them. Sometimes I shorten their names. Sometimes I name them after friends(like my Slaking).

I nickname them with a single character so that the battle messages will scroll faster when I'm grinding.

I never used to but when I got heartgold, I started to nickname them because it increases the friendship, which is always a good thing. Plus it is kinda fun to nickname your level 100 Typhlosion, "Bubbles".

If I'm catching them to keep, I name them.

Otherwise, I just catch, get whatever reward I'm after, and release.

When I'm Nuzlocking, then yes. But's that because I have to.


When I'm just casual playan I only name the ones I plan to use and the HM slaves.

I didn't, until I saw a guy on youtube who named his Hitmonlee "Capt. Kick". Suffice to say I burst out laughing and have used this nickname for a hitmonlee ever since :D

But other than that, nope. Don't see the point.

I generally nickname everything, unless im breeding to get good nature/IV's and stuff, then its just arduous. You gotta be increasingly inventive, like my torterra "Spinach" and my Chansey "Preggers"

Also, All Gyarados MUST be called GUBBINS!!!, No exceptions =)

I nickname my starter Pokémon, that's about it.

edit: For example if I get a fire starter I call it Ashes. I called my Feraligatr Croc and my Blastoise Guns.

I tend to nickname the six in my main party. But besides that I don't bother... unless I catch a Zubat, in which case I will use my incredible wit to think up a funny name!
