Do you nickname your Pokemon? Why or why not?

What are some of the best nicknames you've seen? The worst?

I started naming my Pokémon in HG/SS; before that, naming my Pokémon sounded stupid. As for now, I always name my Team and Breeds, it makes them feel more 'natural', in my opinion.

I tend to nickname my Pokemon for online, but I go with the very first thing that pops in my head, usually references. Think too long or hard about it and you end up with shitty latin/edgy names

Some of my favorites

Mamoswine - Ray Romano
Volcarona - Wormy
Tentacruel - Big Lenny
Ferrothorn - Joseph (Joestar)

I usually just use the Japanese Romaji names for every Pokémon I catch, but I don't do it for that specific Pokémon. I sometimes use the Romaji names of their last evolutions on the first pre-evolution form. It really depends on which Romaji name of the species' evolution line I like the most.
(Fennekin = フォッコ/Fokko) => Delphox named "Fokko"
(Honedge = ヒトツキ/Hitotsuki) => Honedge named "Hitotsuki"

Or sometimes, I alter the names a bit, to match the way I like it. Probably a few letter-removals or some syllable-edits.
(Vivillon = ビビヨン/Viviyon) => Scatterbug named "Vivita" (now a Vivillon)
(Bagon = タツベイ/Tatsubay) => Bagon named "Tatsuba"

It depends on my opinions of each possible namings, really.

You guys do not even know how much I love shitty cheesy nicknames. It's like, half the fun of Pokemon for me.

>Littlefoot: Land Before Time Reference
>PummelWeed: Kameo reference, it's an old PS2 game.
>Cersei: GoT reference of fucking course.
>Ming Xiao: Vampire the Masquerade reference, she's the leader of the Kuei-Jin in Chinatown
>Vitani: Lion King reference.
>Suusano: Reference to the 'great swordmaster' in Okami.
>Senkye: Vaguely recall someone telling me it meant 'darkness' or something along the lines of that in Brazilian? It seemed to fit either way.

The rest are just because I thought they suited and silly nicknames are fun.

Most clever nickname I've ever given imo: Flint the Talonflame.

1. The Talonflame line is partially based on Arrows (Like Bow and Arrow, the weapon). Flint is a mineral commonly used by Native Americans for arrowheads, the tips of arrows.
2. Flint is also the most common mineral used for lightning fires.
3. Flint was the Fire type E4 member in Sinnoh.

So, three levels of cleverness to support it. I love it! Came up with it myself haha. It's in great contrast though to my first Pokemon ever, Muddy the Mudkip/Swampert. XD

I think my Platinum and Y teams had clever nicknames. Each of them a different naming theme.

Platinum (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Blaze the Infernape -Because she was a fire-type and Blaze controls fire
Amy the Luxray-Because Amy is fierce and can be scary
Tails the Floatzel-Because they both have similar colorings and two tails
Sonic the Garchomp-Because Garchomp are really fast
Knuckles the Lucario-Because Lucario are stong and have spikes on their hands
Shadow the Weavile-Because Shadow is a dark character who is very fast

Y (Cowboy Bebop)

Spiek the Chesnaught-Because the line has spikes on their body (Due to the name censor it couldn't be spelled like Spike).
Jet the Blaziken-Because it's head feathers remind me of airplane wings
Vicious the Blastoise-Because Blastoise can be intimidating (And there was no other name I could think of and Vicious was the only other major character)
Ein the Furfrou-Because Furfrou are smart dogs
Edward the Heliolisk-Because Edward was a computer hacker which is an electrical appliance
Faye the Goodra-Because she is really attractive and strong and Goodra is a cute pseudo legendary.

I guess, I'll also include my Bakugan themed FireRed team to a lesser extent.

Preyas the Blastoise (Water-type=Aquos)
Skyrus the Pidgeot (Flying-type=Ventus)
Gorum the Nidoking (I misspelled it. It should be Gorem) (Ground-type=Subterra
Tigrerra the Jolteon (Electric is similar to light which is like Haos)
Drago the Arcanine (Fire-type=Pyrus)
Hydranoid the Dragonite (Both are dragon-like)

I've always been very picky about names, whether it be a nickname for someone, my pets, or even my Pokemon, because I feel names should hold meaning!
I've been replaying LeafGreen recently, and I have the following right now:
Ninetales named Naru (Naruto reference, of course, another nerdy thing I'm into)
Bulbasaur named Arwen (LoTR, of course!)
Gyarados named Kaleesi (Game of Thrones, Mother of Dragon's name)
Pikachu named Kable (Name of Gerard Butler's character in Gamer)
Nidoqueen named Amidala (The Queen, from newest Star Wars Movies)
and last, but not least, a Pidgeot named Zoe (The awesome warrior lady from Firefly/Serenity, with a Pilot husband)

So as you can see, I'mma big nerd haha and named all my Pokemon with things of relevance that I also love. :)

My other nicknames are shitty references to pop culture: a shiny Azumarill named "Bugs", a Delphox named "Mozilla", or a female Aegislash named Hrist (like Valkyrie Profile). Also a Chesnaught called "Chespirito".

Absolutely everything I catch gets a nickname, even if it'll just be boxed after.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites I use.

>Honchkrow
Veronica.

>Mawile.
Fran.

>Liepard. [Shiny]
Okita.

If I can think of a nickname then I'll nickname the Pokemon just that. My 2 favourite nicknames would have to be Fat Albert on a Venusaur and Danny DeVito on an Aegislash

Well, I named my Golurk Antebellum, but I thought it was fitting do to their role in the world/history.
