Horrible memes aside, my best buddy plays Pokemon and never nicknames his Pokemon.

He also gets upset if I do an occasional save file with a girl character.

He's as vanilla as normalfags get.

Meanwhile, I've always nicknamed all my party Pokemon, since at least Silver or Crystal, I forget.

The Pokemon need official names so that people can converse with one another about them. Also, names can help clue you in to the design or personality of the Pokemon.

Well, one of the reasons nicknaming is used its (at least for some people) to kinda care more about their pokemon.

Thats why nickaming pokemon is one of the typical rules of nuzlockes, that way you try and protect each pokemon as their own self instead of "generic pidgey number 14", This usually does not include "lolz xd im naming my gardevoir waifu xdddd".

Thats my opinion at least.

I name my pokemon after mythical creatures/gods that have something to do with their type/looks, or just something funny. You'd have to be a boring-ass motherfucker to just use the pokemon's default name. It's literally like calling your cat "cat", or calling your sim "sim".

Yes it is, retard. It's like naming your Orc character in an RPG "Orc", there is literally no difference. It's a character you control in a videogame that is part of a fantasy species/race, and you decide to name it after that. Get creative you dull fuck.

I don't nickname my Pokemon because I like the names that they have given to them. Besides, every time I see someone giving their Pokemon nicknames it's always some silly reference to some shit like Journey to the West or whichever mythological gods they feel like using that day. Even worse is when they try to be "funny" with the names and just name them stupid things like "BUTTFACE" or "DICKS" or whatever.

I have never nicknamed a Pokemon in the 14 years Ive been playing the series. Ive always found it odd to do so because they never nicknamed Pokemon in the anime. I didn't even watch the anime except for the odd episode or two but it seemed more "canon" to not nickname them.

Yeah, my level of autisim.
These days I name pokemon after whatever is said on the podcast I'm listening to. Leads to weird ass names, like "pointy bits" the cradily and "gear shift" the shuckle.
