Pokemon Nicknaming

Ivogoji · Post by **Ivogoji** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 7:49 pm

For me, it largely depends on the game. For my most recent play throughs I've been nicknaming every single Pokemon I get my hands on, but in past games (particularly LeafGreen and Colosseum) I've only named a handful, and usually long after I caught them. Sometimes it's just to distinguish the significant Pokemon from the insignificant, but other times I just make up names for whatever random critter I see. What about you?

I always like to give my Pokemon nicknames. :)
The only Pokemon I haven't nicknamed is my event Celebi, and that's because you CAN'T nickname it since it apparently counts as a traded Pokemon.

Never been a fan of nicknames(and find it annoying as hell that in-game trades always have nicknames).

I sometimes do. It really depends though :u

If it's a new Pokemon game, then no. I don't do it because I haven't acknowledged all of the Pokemon's names yet. Although if it's an old game, than yes.

If I come up with a cute fitting name I'll nickname. That's not often though.

I rarely nickname my pokemon. But, I always nickname each and every pokemon on MD: EoD

Personally, I like nicknames! When I first played I never nicknamed my Pokemon, but over the past year or two I've started to. I swear naming my Lucario Jelly, Cyndaquil Licorice, and Ampharos Oxiclean gives them a ton of character. It's also fun to see people nickname their Pokemon for things like Nuzlocke runs, especially if they're not into the nicknaming thing. It gives me a warm, happy feeling~

When I used to play Pokemon, I wanted my Pokemon to feel somewhat unique, and not be cursed to have the same name as 4 billion other of its kind. It also made me have more of a fun time playing, and it almost made me feel like I had more of a connection to them. Doesn't make much since to you guys most likely, but when I was young it did.

I had a Basset Hound named Fred. He died the same year so it was a Tribute to my dog. ;n;

I named my Giratina Cheese and my shiny Unfezant, Shiny Unfezant. It was originally a shiny Pidove just named Pidove but I named it Shiny Pidove and so on.

I also had a Pikachu named Pineapple, and a Butterfree named Applepie. I was hungry..XD

I have lots of Sinnoh starter-types. A Torterra named Lief. An Empoleon named Sapphire. A Piplup named Bubbles. A Prinplup named marina. I was obsessed with them at one time.

Dialga-Behemth
Palkia-Arbiter (really, back when I caught this Palkia, I was playing Halo 2 with my cousin and we somehow got a closeup on the Arbiter's face and he looked just like Palkia's face. XDDD)
Giratina-ChiminEatr (I was trying to make it sound like 'Shaymin Eater'. I failed-epicly. Even more epic when I found out a year later that chi chiis spanish for breast TnT)<I so don't know if I just broke a rule with this...I know that I can't send it to Black though...

^I understand. I used to do this all the time when I was 6-ish. It made it harder when I decided to restart my games because I made a wrong choice in leveling up.
Blaziken named Blazer!!!!, INNOCENCE, and FireChick
Charizard named Liz, Char-Char, and Lizzy
Charmander named BlazeBlitz
Simisage named Ninja

I have never given a nickname to one of my pokemon. I lack the creativity.
