Do you nickname your pokemon?

Just curious how many people do nickname their pokemon?

only favorite pokémon and team pokémon

everything even hm slaves

slave 1
slave 2
save 3

only competitive wifi pokemon. i really hate naming in game because i like ppl to know the names of my pokes

Yay Nicknames FTW

I don't I think it's retarded.

It all depends. If they are Pokemon I like using in competitive play, I'll nickname them (like my Swellow), but I don't nickname my other ones.

I nickname all pokemon I think i might use that includes in-game teams, online teams, and HM Slaves.

I'm quite honestly very extremely really mostly inquisitively SHOCKED

haha im like the complete opposite of you guys

I name only in game pokemon that I battle gyms with and stuff

competitive pokemon, no. I guess I don't have a great reason, but sometimes im too lazy to nickname pokemon I may not use but for a day or two, and then decide the team isn't great and start from scratch

Really only pokemon that i like (groudon)or even ones that i utterly hate (like bidoof). Or ones that i use for competative battling-so it leves them wondering on which pokemon i will use next. So give nicknames in competative battling can be useful.

I personally don't nickname my Pokemon but for every one I have that is nicknamed, it's from someone else. I have this Milotic that a friend had given me and she named her Azumi. The significance, I have no clue. The name fits though so I'm not complaining. I do however have this Charizard named Buddha.

Is that because it knows belly drum and you rub Buddha's stomach for good luck in Chinese religion or something lke that?

G'damnit. I have a Buddhist friend, and he has assured me that the fat guy is NOT Buddha. He is, in fact, the Chinese God of Prosperity.

Then who is Buddha? if he isn't the tummy rubbing dude...

Sometimes I dont feel like it

i nickname my pokemon it makes your pokemon more personal, not anyone else's pokemon.

Whenever I can think of a good name or if I feel like it

I very rarely nickname my pokemon
I prefer to keep them with their original names

Gliscor = MsVampire

Uxie = Smuxie (Smexy + Uxie)

Lanturn = LOLWatt?

Milotic = Amer

Umbreon = Pepper

Espeon = Salt

Jumpluff = Powerpuff

Zangoose = 25%Red

I have more. =)

I usually nickname my RP pokemon and Wi-Fi pokemon.
