Nicknames

[Riff]

I name most of 'em... Because... Well, I can!

 

[xxaa]

I do name them because that's the coolest thing about being a trainer.
I took this from Gold (the greatest trainer ever)
For every single Pokemon game I play I add something at the end of my Pokes names for all of them.
Gold's team: Ataro, Poltaro, Explotaro, Sintaro, Utaro, Togetaro, and Mantaro
The closest I've come to getting a nickname as cool as Gold's pokemon is my HG Aipom named Atale

I had a gardevoir on my Pokemon Sapphire, she was the best partner I had ever had. Her name was Spirit. By the time I had reached the Elite Four, she was already Lvl. 83. I lost her when my battery died on the cartridge and the save was lost for good. I miss her. );

I'm terrible at naming characters etc in games so I used to just use it to properly capitalize the names (Charizard instead of CHARIZARD etc). When blizzard turned wow minipets into pokemon you level, battle, catch and can rename I renamed them all so I can have the pet follow me around with a Funny Name

I did that too.When i got "CHARMANDER" i named it "Charizard" so it could have proper name when it evolves

That looks way better, imma start doing that too

I'm not nicknaming any of my Pokemon, the original is good enough for me.

I always liked that you can nickname your pokemon but i always preferred not to give them one cause I suck at nicknames plus I like them having their normal names. Most annoying thing about nicknames I found was that when you used to trade with npc you could never change the pokemons name back to normal so you would be stuck with a pokemon like rocky.

I prefer to not nickname my pokemon. I don't know why, but I think they have more trading value if you don't.

I like to nickname my pokemon because it gives them the unique quality that non-nicknamed pokemon don't have.

Minus the trading value part. I just don't nickname them. Sometime I get a team that I like and name them after anime characters or their jap names, but that is about it.

You're absolutely right, you warm to them quicker and thoroughly
