Because naming Regice is the only way to get Regigigas, so if you don't name your Pokemon, you don't catch 'em all, and you get banned.

You wouldn't call your dog "Dog", would you? I name them because it gives them a little personality, sounds silly but it's kind of fun.

There's no reason.

Only 10 year olds name their Pokemon.

I often breed 2-4 of the same Pokemon and use different sets and EV spreads with them. Nicknames are an easy way for me to distinguish them in bank.

I have a cat named "Little cat" because she was smaller than the other cat.

Here's an objective "I play this game for the mechanics and not anything else" purpose for nicknaming.
If you have two Garchomps running different sets, you can name them to distinguish them from each other. You could even be heartless and name them crap "LO SD" or "VGC".

>not thinking of actual clever nicknames
Some people will always be pleb, but really the only reason not to name your pokemon is laziness. Yes, even you, who names everything else but thinks legendary pokemon don't need nicknames. That's lazy.

Naming Pokemon can be fun as fuck if you give them good nicknames. Sure shit like "Storm" and "Blaze" is stupid, but putting a few seconds of thought into it can make the usage of a Pokemon a much more enjoyable experience. It's hard to explain.

On a related note,
>tfw online mode can display GTS nicknames, GTS messages, and shoutouts with no problem
>tfw you still can't see the other Pokemon's nicknames during online battles

It's intentional, apparently. They know they can never truly censor it, and they don't want you to do confusing things like having six different pokemon named "Steelix".

It can help you feel closer to your pokemon.
Giving them clever nicknames is fun.
If you have a themed team then you can nickname the mons after the characters/other shit.
For catching regigigas in ORAS.
