Gaming Do you give nicknames to your Pokemon?

[Twiffles]

I only named one when I caught it, and I never used it. Only other time I nickname them is for battling people, because I'm lame like that. Oh yeah.

 

[tajio]

No, I never name my pokemon. I like following Ash

he never names his pokemon's.

 

[Atashi]

I give nicknames to mine. My first one, the totodile, I called Bungee. Dunno why. Then when that egg thing hatched I named him Teeple. The only downside is I forget what they're supposed to be called, and nobody knows wtf I'm talking about when I say my 'team' contains a bungee, a teeple, and a squishy...

BTW Does anyone know if it is possible to give names to the ones that are caught with the pokewalker? I can't find an option...

And ot poke-noob question - what do you do with pokemon you catch but then don't want? Can you kill them? Use them for parts? Sell them? Or just set them free?

you can change the name on your pokemons in goldenrod city, only go north untill you almost have left the city then turn left and in to the purple tent

 

[Demonbart]

Nope, unless I'm feeling silly, but then the nicknames usually end up having to do with sex or drugs.
A friend of mine wants to be a "trainer of balls" in every game, so he nicknames his pokeymanz accordingly.
For example: Charizard = Fireball, Beedrill = Insectball, Raticate = Normalball etc.

 

[Donald Serrot]

Sometimes, I name my Unown the letter they are, and recently I renamed my ExtremeSpeed Dragonair "Babie" cause she's the baby of my team that I'm training up. The rest of the ones I catch I don't name. I may rename my main team later with names that fit their personalities in battle.

 

[GentleFist]

i nickname all pokemon i use but i dont use many usually i only use one and thats charmander... called Zippo x3 my totodile is on my team called Dino but i dont really use it~~

 

[I am r4ymond]

I just watched a few Pokémon Battle Videos and saw really crappy, stupid nicknames.

 

[Shadow&Light]

I hate nicknaming my pokemons... If I could, I'd select a kind of option that doesn't show that nickname message again

 

[8BitWalugi]

Sometimes. Like 'Magikarp' is 'Col.Floppy'

 

[iPikachu]

after khreborn because box animals = pokeymonz

Trainer - Tsuna(i dont play as the girl because she sucks.)

Quiliva - Natsu
Scyther - Squalo
Flaffy(sp) - Garyuu
Beedrill(for future fly mule? can it even fly?) - Lambo
Ghastly - Torikabuto

Rival.. should be G. or giotto? eh.

 

[prowler]

If you count changing all the capitals to lowercase then yeah, I nickname them. ;3

That's one of the reasons I hate Pokemon - All the Pokemon names are in capitals.

 

[Raika]

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

 

[mrfatso]

sure i do, well only this time round, but usually, nah, i just let them have their name.

@raika: that's a great idea, i should do that one of these days

 

[zerods]

sometimes when I'm just trying to skip all the dialogue that I've heard over 9000 times by rapidly bashing the A button, I accidentally press 'yes' for the nickname option.

 

[Rydian]

I always skip with B to avoid that crap.

 

[Blebleman]

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!

 

[ShaDeFinale]

PONYTA the BULBASAUR has something to say about that.
I did that too until my friends wised up and picked no everytime, switching in after I did.

 

[.Darky]

I never give nicknames to my pokemanz.

 

[Uncle FEFL]

I'm not creative, plus I like having the actual Pokemon's name during battle.

That's one of the reasons I hate Pokemon - All the Pokemon names are in capitals.

That's a kinda ridiculous reason, don't you think?
