I've realized that people nickname their Pokemon all sorts of things, so I wanted to start a thread to find out what you, as a person, nickname your Pokemon. Organizing them in spoilers by person will be fun.

I used to be Cyogre, ILoveTaillowHesCute, TaillowIsCuteAndCool, Tart Spop, Tartius Spopius, Tartii, King of the Eevees and MasteroftheFlames. If you know me under any of those names, yeah, that's me.
