>>16005027>I usually nickname my pokémon with actual names or surnames acording to what they look or areI do this a fair amount of the time. Or I name them after other things that I like and fit the pokemon, e.g. Kingdra named Charybdis, Barbaracle named Rhadamanthus.
Sometimes [usually on replays] I give all my pokes names in a theme like 5 letters, constellations and stars, food, etc.
It all depends really.
Though I've always named my mons in all caps because of how it was done pre-Gen V and doesn't look right without it.
