Do you nickname your Pokemon?

Do you have a theme going?

Do you have any nicknames planned for X/Y?

TV Therapists, Talk Show Hosts, and people with "Dr." in their name who aren't actually doctors.

My starter is always my last name though.

Usually mythological references/species name of the animal said Pokemon is based off of, if applicable. If not, I just head to Bulbapedia's origin section, find what the Pokemon was based off of, and fuck around in the wiki article until something sounds cool.

I plan on doing a Nuzloke where I name all the pokemon after famous scientists, but I don't know which game to do it in.

Quoted By:

I used to never nickname them, but I nicknamed all the mainstays of my party when I played through White, and it actually did make me like my pokemon a lot more. I'll probably give nicknames again when I play through B/W2 and X/Y.

As for patterns, I guess I sometimes give them names that are references to stuff (naming a Lillipup Dogmeat, for example). Feels kind of uncreative giving them reference names but I only do that about a third of the time, other times I just name them whatever feels right.

I usually name mine whatever comes to mind when I first catch it. Sometimes it's a real name, sometimes it's named after something, sometimes it's an inanimate object, sometimes it's a pun. I do think a little harder when naming starters and Pokemon I intend to use in my team though

I nickname all of my pokemon, but I don't really use a theme. I named my Gallade after Hatori Hanzo, the founder of Ninjutsu, my Alakazam after Zhang Guo, a prominent Chinese Alchemist, and my Starmie RW Ceiphei, after the star of the same name. I kind of just give them names that fit something about them.

For HeartGold I named half my team after Chechen figures. My Typhloison's name is KADYROV, my Bellsprout TCHERMOYEV, my Geodude SHAMIL.
I have yet to name the other half of my team, never got around to it.

Why? No idea.

I name them after Fire Emblem characters. I name Dragon-types after wyvern riders, bulky Steel/Rock/Ground-types after knights/generals, probably gonna name Fairy-types after pegasus knights.

I named my geodude z-ore-o
a spearow named cpt jack. he's captain jack spearow.
a pidgey named cory r. he's a cory r pidgey (courier)
a caterpie named paula deen. paula deen loves butter(flies). a butter freeze would taste just like ice cream.
a furret named gef. after that ferret cryptid that could talk.
a rattata named mousilini.

there's no particular common thread right now. i just write down a bunch of different names for things that are similar to what the pokemon is and its gender. then i try to make clever references.

I generally take a word related to the Pokemon and run it through Google Translate in various languages until I get something that sounds vaguely like a name, maybe change a letter or two to make it seem even more like one, then use that.

I usually just call my Pokemon common names. Things like Seth, Tyson, Laura, Sophia, as examples. It's been a simple theme of mine which I've been doing for a while now.

Currently, I have no nicknames planned for X and Y yet.
But I'm thinking of calling my Honedge: Ghirahim

I change it around for each play through
sometimes I might call them Greek Titans like Hyperion for a Mareep or Oceanus for a Poliwag
sometimes I might call them their animal or what they are based off but in a different language like Khelona (Turtle in Greek) for a Squirtle .
I might call them my friends and family's names depending on their personality, if someone is hot headed I will name them a fire type or if they are big and bulky I will name them for a Wailord or a fighting type

Nope, I normally don't nickname my Pogeymans.

But in this case, I've made an exception

This is sort of a theme.
