Lol nicknames, I have a Ditto called Play-Doh I used to give every single pokémon a nickname, except for the legendaries, I just renamed them with a capital letter instead of the CAPSLOCK NAME which always annoyed me for some reason.
I was annoyed when I found out the NPC's aren't full caps, my character's name in diamond is in full caps.
I have a Farefetch'd named Leek Birdy but that's the smartest name I gave to a pokemon in HG. (I would've named it Miku if it was a girl *shot*)
Apart from my main party the name's I give to my pokemon are just mere alterations of their name. I name my main party after characters from Axis Powers Hetalia.
I remember when I named my pokemon on LG after Rayman chars. I named the birds after the main antagonists of the games.
Gallade: Demian
Togekiss: Delta
Milotic: Ocean
Mismagius: Jake
Nidoqueen: Mimi (don't judge her)
Meowth: Nyasu (Japanese name for Meowth)
Nyasu is my HM slave...I hacked her moveset to give her the weakest HM moves by using Action Replay, because I don't like most other pokemon that are potential HM slaves, and I rather see HM pokemon as a 'pet' rather than a 'slave'. Also, she knows pickup. 8D
Here's my upcoming team: Empoleon, Aggron, Tyranitar, Crobat, Alakazam and Gengar.
I have all of them exept Aggron... and i used Pokésav to get Empleon in my SS game.
And lol @ Spanex's pic, i have a shiny Quagsire, and that looks like Uglette.
