>>12351101I always nickname my 'mons, excluding legendaries.
Current W2 team:
Phanphi the Ampharos.
Spur of the moment thing, realise its ridiculously close to Phanpy but hell, it fits.
Myrabella the Jellicent.
Same as above.
Orion the Absol.
Scrolling through a baby name website (always have one open if I'm catching Pokémon), see Orion, immediately decided on it.
Marcell the Dunsparce.
Named after this old cat who used to hang around my mate's house. Died recently, and I loved that little guy.
Lyralei the Lilligant.
As in the Windrunner. Always found it a beautiful name.
Yeah, I get kinda autistic over nicknames. I think its because I've always wished for a way to have a more personal bond with my guys, and it was the closest I could really get.
