Yes.
I just come up with whatever seems suitable.
For instance, I named a Raticate recently and named him Feces.

Nicknames are lame and very cringeyworthy. There is nothing you can come up with that will be better than the Pokémon's actual name.

Nicknaming your Pokémon is basically like humiliating them openly.

I nicknamed my Talonflame "Brave Bird" because I hate the name Talonflame.

I named misdreavus "Witchplz" in a recent play thru.

I wish I could remember someother ones. Many cringe worthy but a few gems.

I named my Lilligant Doremi, as a pun off of it's Japanese name (Doreidia or something like that) and Do Re Mi.

I also nicknamed my Talonflame Hawkeye because I'm unoriginal but still dislike the name Talonflame.

I don't normally nickname my Pokemon, but for some reason, those two stuck.

we /nickname/ thread here?

Call me autistic but I named my pokemon based on what I feel they'd match with personality wise.

Xatu - Thane
Honchkrow - Archer
Dusknoir - Niko
Swampert - Bill

Garchomp - Allison "Tex"
Sceptile - Slash
Staraptor - Levi

Typhlosion - Rook

Scolipede - Alcatraz

Sometimes I name my ingame party after I've been playing with them for a while. One linoone got me items more often than another so I named it Bounty ("the quicker picker-upper"). Another one got me lots of rare candies, so I named it Candy.

I have a Fletchinder named Flarrow (Flare + Arrow) that I absolutely refuse to evolve because I like Fletchinder's design

Seriously why does Talonflame's name not maintain the archery theme in ANY way at all??

Easy and simple, always works for me on every game nowadays. Don't forget there are NPCs that don't exaclty have a main type but the pokemon you have is a staple for them like Riley and Lucario and many others.

I nickname all my competitively viable (read: IV bred and EV trained) pokemon after characters in Elder Scrolls lore.

Arcanine named Barbas.
Greninja named Lorkhan.
A Belly Drum Azumarill named Clavicus Vile.
A M-Pidgeot named Kenarthi.

et cetera.

I usually just use whatever since no one's going to see my in-game mons, anyway.

For online cart stuff I try to put a little more thought or at least don't do obvious stuff like naming a Fire type fucking "Blaze".

The only times I've ever felt particularly proud with naming stuff was with my shiny Honchkrow "Saints Crow" or my Chatot "Pollyphony"

No. If I nicknamed one Pokémon, I'd have to nickname all of them. They'd all have to be on par with one another so that none of them had a worse or less clever name than another. No joke names like "Dicks" or "Kum." I'd probably prefer something that could easily be substituted for the actual species name like >>24825481 or "Falsawood" for Sudowoodo.

Named a Heliolisk "Threadwright," one of the Y Magne-Ge

Named a male Sylveon "Crassius." You know damn well why.

Zoroark, "Nerevar,"
Seht cut off his Face so he can walk as anyone.

They're tedious enough to find. Didn't feel like resetting them. And the Roserade had a good nature.

My favorite owned Pokemon is a Shiny Altaria I originally got in Emerald. I named her Cielia.

I also have a Feraligatr named Gregor and an Aggron named Big Momma.

Don't let people tell you how to have fun.
