It turns out that even the previous format (gen7) could have more than 1 pokémon with the same nickname, but not now, I would like if it could be done again
 
Yes, because you can't obtain any Gem other than Normal Gem in any games but Gen 5.

Pretty sure this is a rule from the games themselves not us.

This technically isn't a rule enforced by the games, but VGC enforces it so doubles doesn't get confusing for which mon is which. The same concept applies here. In Doubles, if you have two Pokemon nicknamed "Bob", and you miss one, it is ambiguous which Pokemon they missed. Many other effects that only show a message and not an animation would be affected. As a result, it would be optimal for everyone to nickname all of their Pokemon the same name, which would be stupid. Even in singles this is annoying in formats that don't force Species Clause.
 
Ok, I don't know very well how this XD theme is going but as far as I know, in the national dex ag format of gen8 if you can have megas and Z's even though in generation 8 you can't, maybe it's because it's called "national dex ag "but then I don't know why you can't have the gems but if you have the megas and the Z XD

Is it because fans do not miss the gems but the megas and the Z? Hahaha
 
National Dex is based on gen 7, if the item isn't in there, it wouldn't be able to be used in the tier. Therefore, gems are not allowed in there.
 
And, for example, in the next Pokémon's game, what will Showdown do? Will it put everything from gen 7 to gen 9 or will it be based on gen 8 and we will run out of megas and Z?

Natdex is the first time the concept's been done in any pokemon generation, Gen 8's also the first generation that's scrapped many mechanics and pokemon that were dear to a lot of players. Assuming there are dex cuts next pokemon game, there will probably be a new natdex meta, wheter to base their games off the gen 7 item list or the gen 8 item list is for the metagame's choosing.
 
well, I hope that when the new generation of Pokémon comes out, if they do the same as with generation 8, Showdown will do a section with EVERYTHING like they did with National Dex Ag hahaha
 
This thread has deviated substantially from the original topic, so I'll close it. Duplicate nicknames aren't intended.
