Nicknames

[HerSilverHammer]

When you nickname your Pokemon do you go ALL CAPS or Title Names?

Also do you theme your nicknames (pun names, Mediterranean geography, anime Characters, ect.) or spur of the moment names?

What are the names of your current Pokemon?

Sometimes it's just a random spur-of-the-moment thing, but most of the time it's a link to a Pokemon's name or characteristic. I have a Nidoking called Henry and a female Aggron called Maggie (the iron lady), for example. E-cookie for whoever can figure out why my Scyther is called Nutmeg.

Back in my old Yellow, I named all of my Pokemon after some trait that they have. All I can recall from that game is my Blastoise named "Shellshock" (which I also based on that Blastoise from the 1st Pokemon movie).

Recently, in my Platinum, I named my Pokemon after what they were named in Japanese, like "Milokaross" for my Milotic and "Jibacoil" for my Magnezone, but being the obsessive-compulsive that I am, I was annoyed that I couldn't do the same with my traded Pokemon, so in the end I just removed all their nicknames.

Now, the only Pokemon I have nicknames for are those that need to be differentiated properly, like my Unown having names like "Unown-A" or "Unown-!". Same goes with all my Rotom and Wormadam forms.

I nickname all the ones I use to battle, (because if I named my breeding fodder I'd never be able to keep track) and they usually just depend on the Pokemon.

I have an Azumarill called Samba, an Ursaring called Honeypaw, a Ninetales called Willow, a Froslass called Geisha... They're never themed.

And of course, Mischief, my female Weavile.

There was a time when I restarted by Ruby version and nicknamed all my Pokemon after other anime characters. xD Like I had nicknamed my Poochyena after Duran from Mai HiME (both are canines).

And whenever I got Cyndaquil in Crystal/Silver versions, I would automatically nickname is Nick... I have no idea where it came from but that's its default name by now. :3

I have a Wooper nicknamed Whopper. Probably I nicknamed it when I was hungry. I have a Butterfree nicknamed Mr.Green and a Beedrill nicknamed Shino. I also have a Quagsire nicknamed QUAGMIRE.
