Gaming Do you give nicknames to your Pokemon?

[zuron7]

I used to give Nicknames to my first Pokemon.
But the Pokemon disapointed me and I stopped playing it.

But, I always found the Nickname feature dumb since even Ash himself doesn't give nicknames to his Pokemon.

 

[Porobu]

No I dont have time to think

 

[blooddrake]

yep

 

[Terminator02]

If you count changing all the capitals to lowercase then yeah, I nickname them. ;3That's one of the reasons I hate Pokemon - All the Pokemon names are in capitals.

I feel you guys, I ALWAYS have to lowercase all the letters after the first one... bugs me so much

I named all of my Pokemon Raika to confuse people online.
WHEN I get my router fixed, that is.

lol

I haven't really played the new ones, but back with Red/Blue, to piss off my friends, I'd nickname them other Pokemon's names.
For example:

PIKACHU would be called GEODUDE.

So when playing my buddies, they'd see "is about to use GEODUDE.", so they'd pick their Squirtle and I'd roflstomp their face into oblivion.
Gets a little bitchy when organizing a collection though!

even more lolz

i do sometimes. i hate pokemon pearl, diamond and platinum, so i renamed Turtwig "Ugly Thing" and Piplup "Skipper" XD

 

[giratina16]

I called my Tyranitar Gojira which is the Japanese translation of Godzilla.

 

[ColdForge]

I called my Tyranitar Gojira which is the Japanese translation of Godzilla.

That's a funny coincidence because I named my Torterra Gamera.
Always makes me think of the MST3K episodes of Gamera...

 

[Prime_Zero]

Yes I name my Pikachu a Pekachu just kidding.
I name mine like -Pikachu-, -Steelix- and so on I hate the names being in all caps and than I toss in the - and -
to make it look more custom. I also Put the - and - on my name as well.

Sometimes during my run troughs of the Pokemon Games I nickname my Pokemon.
I remember on my second run through of Pokemon Sapphire I tagged all my Pokemon with "J" (My last name initial) and spell the Pokemon's actual name in Proper casing.
Example: Kyogre J

My current Pokemon Firered run-through that I am doing I am properly casing most of the Pokemon names in exception to SQUIRTLLE which I named Kamex.

My Heart Gold save I nicknames my Pokemon with semi-inteligent names (Exceptions: Legendarys with Proper Casing; Suicune, Entei, Rikou, Ho-oh. LUGIA = Luga)
My TOGIKISS is named "Toget".
My UNBREON is named "Lunasan"
My PIKACHU is named "Pika-cun"
My NIDORINA is named "Nidowoman"

I got a perfect name for BLAZIKEN, Flareblitz

UNOWN are named as such: Unown *
*= It's forme; example: UNOWN FORM A = Unown A, UNOWN's B FORME = Unown B, etc.

 

[Fishaman P]

Yeah, but only names that can be close but funny.

Lugia = Loogie
Ho-Oh = Uh-Oh

Although sometimes I deviate.

Celebi = Serebii
Snorlax = Fatty

 

[Ryukouki]

I only nickname pokemon that I catch for other people. (my brother) I like making it obscene to surprise them lol

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

It helps in hacking the stats of your pokemon when you name them. It is faster in identifying them in memory or editing the sav file.

 

[Artix]

Wow shit, gbatemp, I am disappoint.
Who DOESN'T nickname? It makes them unique. It makes them your Pokemon, and not just any old CAPITALIZED POKEMON NAME.

I thought most people nicknamed, and listing Ash as a positive example isn't really helping your case is it?

Yeah dunno why Ash was thought to be a good idea to bring up...he's just a boyishly dressed version of sailor moon.

 

[Popin]

I always name my pokemon. It's usually a variation of their name or something to do with the specific pokemon.

 

[triassic911]

I've only named 3 pokemon in my entire life playing pokemon.

In Fire Red, named my Charmander 'Flames'.

In Emerald, named my Magikarp 'Gyradragon'.

In Pearl, named my Piplup 'Fierce'.

Thats it.

 

[penthaler]

I never named all my pokemons, but - just one, the main pokemon got name Junior...
It is nice to see Junior on LVL 50 and on third evolution phase

btw. doesnt matter what kind of pokemon it is...
I got totodile named JUNIOR and some flame-fighting monkey called JUNIOR

Better to not name them, because you forgot their real names... (as me with that monkey

- pearl version of pok)

 

[arecus2000]

I always do name mine. I usually name my best after legends and the useless ones are named after their type like Fire-FlamingFury Water-whirlpool Electric-Shock! etc.
