Depends. I usually nickname legendaries. Regular pokemon, not so much.

I always name my HMslave though.

No because everytime I see someone with a nicknamed pokemon, I cringe at their spaghetti.

I nickname them all the time. Even ones I don't use. Its adds a bit of personality to them.

That's not what Spaghetti means

when i was a child i didn't like nicknaming because all of the trainers you battle never have nicknamed pokemon.
but then i got more creative and realised thinking of cute nicknames for my team is a fun thing to do.

Nicknames or not, the biggest problem everybody should be talking about is the name rater. WHY do we have a name rater exactly? Why can't you change names on your own like any person would? At least make it a PC option

I really wish there was an option to allow Pokemon you trade to other people to have their nicknames changed

I've never nicknamed my Pokemon until B/W2. Not sure why I started naming them after more than a decade of not bothering...

>>12379574
Agree wholeheartedly with this.

You should be able to nickname Pokemon you aren't the OT of, or at very least, Pokemon that you've transferred up with Pal Park or that other thing.

Most definitely. It adds to the immersive experience presented by Pokemon. By nicknaming my Pokemon, I bond with them even though they're just data. In a sense, the bonding is stronger than when people take up waifus.

What about nicknaming pokemon you got in a trade? I think it's time we ditched that mechanic; if you traded your pokemon to me, you must not care too much for it anyway.

I don't like to because I think of something and it suits the Pokemon, but then it'll evolve and it won't match anymore. Even if I name an evolved 'mon, I look at them after a while and realize that they're too cool for my retarded self-gratifying nickname.

Also, you look less retarded by everyone else so that's a social up.

The type of people that will shit on you for nicknaming will also probably shit on you for playing Pokemon in the first place.

Not really, but a lot of Pokemon players do seem to have a complex. Such a shame, too.

This and pokemon you transfer from previous generations. Since their names are in all caps and gen V made regular capitalization the default your transferred pokemon really stick out.

I always nickname a pokemon if I'm going to be using it. It feels wrong to not give it it's own name, if it's going to be on my team. Otherwise it's like I'm relegating it to the ranks of any old pokemon of it's species, and not "my" pokemon.

Always nickname the ones you're going to use. Gives it an endearing quality.

I'm about to take on the E4 with Lucas, Janine, Francine, Alice and Shaun. God I love my team.

I don't nickname them when catching them in case they have a nature that doesn't match...like a modest machop or something. I give my starter a nickname regardless and tend not to nickname legendaries because they're like one off's (Except the Rayquaza I called Kazza)
