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?
