I usually like making Pokemon special, so I give them nicknames.
I'm playing FireRed at the moment and every member of my party has a nickname. Teo the Umbreon. [totally random name] Michaela the Vileplume. [a character from one of my favorite books] Aesha the Raichu. [RANDOM xD I thought 'bout naming her Ash, but she is a female after all] Illium the Dragonite [again a character] Ryo the Charizard. [well, yeah, I'm a digimon fan alsooo. And Ryo Akiyama is one of my favorite characters xDD] Drew the Kabutops. [shortned for ANdrew?] So, what do you think???

Always.
Don't know why. I choose names that reflect the pokemon obtained. 'Cept for Temperance the Rhyperior. Named her after the fictional character Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan. -------------------- "something will go here"  |

I love giving them nicknames, both here and in the games. It makes me feel like they're my trusted friends instead of tools. I normally only nickname my favorites, but I've been naming almost all of them here on GPX.

I only give nicknames to my favorites and "special" ones. I try to pick unique names to go along with the "character" nothing lame like human names...I still don't understand why people do this..it's a mystery.

You can find a dozen more in the grass on higher level.  Yeah but they won't be special and mine! Becuase that Oddish has a name. xDD And I like raising Pokemon. I really isn't interesting to catch one on level fifty and then brag about it. Rather catch one on level 11 and raise to level 50 and then brag @Frenzy Chic: That's cool. I like the series, too.  -------------------- | FanFictions (~complete and in progress~) (click to show) I claim |

I usually nickname my Pokemon. Mostly named for what type of Pokemon they are or something like that, sometimes for something humorous.
In SS, my Typhlosion is named Blazer, my Jolteon is named Evan, my Lugia is named Wavecrashr (I couldn't fit the 'e') and most of my other Pokemon have names too. In Firered, I have a box full of Pokemon with names related to France. XD (RANDOM!) Most of them are Paras. (Get it?) I also have a Jolteon named Jolta (I luv mah Jolteons) and my Charizard is named Charman. (Later I realized that his name sounds like a brand of Toilet Paper.)My traditional name for Swellows and Taillows in RSE is LLOWSY. XD I could go ON and ON.

I do it a lot on Mystery Dungeon. I put the first thing that comes to mind (Grimer - BP Oil; Weedle - Poisonhorn (because of it's in-game dialogue); Absol - Axel [8D]). But for some Pokes, like Shuppet, Duskull, and Hypno, I don't nickname them since I can't think of anything good.
As for the main games, not really, although most of them are GPX+ related. --------------------   |

I name all the time...I've been known to sit there for 5 minutes or more trying to think of a good name. With the volume off. It helps me concentrate.
Prepare for a looonnngg list. If there's more than one on the same line, I gave them group names. I might not have all of them still, but their names will always be remembered.

I adore nicknaming my Pokemon. However, it tends to only be the one that I hold on a Team, with several others here and there.
And example would definitely be my Pearl and Soul Silver Teams: Colette - My Clefable. Though Lopunny would be a nicer choice because of where I got the name, still~ Tiny - Torterra. Oxymoron for the win. Red - Both of my Espeons in both of my games are called this. Don't mind me and my obsession. Cooly - Feraligatr. Nostalgia sakes. Lucia - Bellossom. Named after a very good friend of mine on another Forum. Conan - Houndoom. Named after an anime character (Conan from Detective Conan) Inspector - Honchkrow. Also named after an anime character in a way, but he just looks like one, ne? Ruby - Shiny Milotic. I just had to. Jin - Luxray; named after a Manga character. Aero - Aerodactyl. Okay, I was "lame" with this one. Denryuu - Ampharos. Also kind of lame, because of the fact that Demryuu is Ampharos' Japanese name. Okay, I'll stop now. -------------------- GPX Plus

The only times I nickname Pokemon would be the times I'm trying to follow Nuzlocke rules. When I do nicknames, I try to keep them thematic where possible. (Exception being when I catch a Slowpoke while nicknaming, which always gets named 'James May')
-------------------- So, uh, I should probably put something here. No idea what, though, so enjoy my indecision. And party images.

I always name them based on their final evolution form, for example my Typhlosion is named Tyco, and my Persian is named Percy.

I nickname all of them. I don't have a particular theme with nicknames, though. I just give them nicknames I think fit.

I always nickname my Pokemon, on GPX and ingame. Sometimes I name them after movie or book characters that I love, but other times they are named after characters I've created for my stories, RPs and such. Take my Charizard Clone, Vasarkath, for example; he's named for the dragon king in and RP of mine. Knoxus and Victus, my Palkia and Dialga are also named after characters of mine. Knoxus is the keeper of the different realms and Victus is keeper of Time.
