My Favourites



I never nickname my pokemon. Not here and not in gmaes I own either. For me original names are as good as any and knowing how I name my characters in my stories, I doubt that I woud come up with good names anyway.

I always name my characters based on looks, like "That character looks in my head like his name should be Jonathan" and so on. If I started to name pokemons in a same way there is high possibility that my nicknames for them would be just first thing that comes in mind when I watch them. As an example, Goodra would propably be Slimy Kangaroo and Slugma would be Lava slug :p When my naming style follows that kind of pattern i guess that it's just for the best that I keep original names for them.

Original Pick



I like having Pokemon nicknamed. Since they're going to be stuck with me, the only Pokemon I don't nickname are usually legendaries. I don't why, it hard to come up with name for a legendary Pokemon.

My Purple Ones



I started nicknaming my shinies after taxonomic genuses.

Other times I'll make references to things I've experienced.

I'd like to find a shiny Shellder and evolve em to a Spiral Shellder so I can name em "Shaving Cream" after the song by Benny Bell.

Friends



I like to nickname all of my Pokemon. Sometimes their names are meaningful, but usually they're just silly. :P

I nickname my Pokemon if I can come up with a good nickname for them. Usually the Pokemon I will nickname, like most others, are the ones that are special to me. For example, when I hatched my Shiny Pichu, I named her Baby. I thought it fit her very well. (:

i almost always nickname my mains and favorites! definitely the shinies. i actually spend the bulk of my shiny hunts working out what i'm going to name them because i'm kind of particular. even though the ones i go with in the end tend to be very basic or silly.

I give them cool or funny names. Cool ones include Flame King (Flaming Zoroark), Leviathan (Mega Gyarados), and Blade (Haxorus). A few funny ones are Jelly (Goodra), Finally Dragon (Salamence), and Wicke (Bewear).

I have never given nicknames to any of my Pokemon and it really annoys me when I get nicknamed Pokemon's in online trade shakefist.gif

I originally nicknamed everything when I first joined this site, but now I just have too many; I reserve nicknames for shinies and legendaries.

I tend to nickname my shinies and maybe some novelty Pokemon that I like. There are just too many Pokemon going through my boxes.

ETA: Actually, also Pokemon I use in the Battle Tower, as well as some breeding pairs happy.gif

Mostly shinies, if I got a good/decent nickname for them.
Sometimes I use meaningful names, sometimes it's random, whatever clicks sort.

Nah, I don't nickname my pokemon. I'm always striving to improve their IVs so some of them don't last long in my Pokedex.

Sheer



Not usually, no. On GPX+ I'll almost never bother unless I've come up with something I consider really good. My Articuno that permanently sits in my party is named Sheer after an old character of mine, but that's really it. Some others might be nicknamed from when I was younger.

Some faves



I nickname all of my Pokemon that I intend to keep.
I like to put puns in the nickname, if possible (see: Han Solosis, my Reuniclus, or Coca Coala, my Torkoal), but unfortunately I don't do that often, because I'm not the best pun-maker. Most of the time I call them things based off their appearance, name, type, or Pokedex entry.

I try to nickname all my Pokémon if I can think of a name for them. I tend to name my shinies after their predominant color. Basically, if a shiny is blue, I try to think of a name relating to blue. Stuff like that. And I'll try to nickname Legendaries after what they're based on, concept-wise.

I claimed Isaac from Golden Sun. Hands off mah bishie! tongue.gif And Capt. Linebeck, too!

Some of my Favorites



I name some. Some Pokemon I have now I plan on naming but haven't gotten around to yet. I'm not usually good at names and I'm also in the process of shiny hunting and I don't really have the energy to come up with names for every egg I hatch.

Update: So, I went from nicknaming most of my Pokemon in general to nicknaming essentially none of them. I still name shinies/playthrough 'mons where possible, but that's really it.
