>>28902535Girlfriend usually does themed runs, i.e using a specific type or naming all her pokemon common names from certain nationalities (her best one is an XY Fighting type run with all Irish names)
I usually name them whatever I feel like or do the same by following a theme. The pokemon that do really well in my playthroughs I might keep the same names for comfy teams in first runs on other games. For example I usually nickname a Raichu "éclair" for lightning.
