Nicknames can't be offensive or the same as your other pokemon
I'd suggest playing on the safer side with this one. In 2010, I know there was a big hoohaa when my friend (Aka PorkLoin) had a Tyranitar with a suspect nickname. The Ttar in question was called Obama, and with 'tar being a Dark type, they had to get some senior officials over to determine if it was racist or not. But, don't put anything stupid and obviously rude or offensive and you should be fine.
I believe someone wasn't allow to use a Salamence named "MurderFace" in the Oregon regionals. So the bar of what is considered offensive is fairly low, so try not to name anything remotely suspicious.
What about using Butt in a Pokemon's name? Like a Stunfisk named Buttfisk?
I don't nickname them personally, just wondering.
I'd say it's not worth risking disqualification just to be clever or funny. If you have to ask, it's safer to just not do it.
So I think you might have to get another one, it's not worth the risk
Or you could trade it back and ask them to rename it.

Emerald, Platinum, or HG/SS.
Ugh, yeah it was transfered via Poketransfer system. So that means I'll have to get a whole new one!
Pomeg/Kelpsy/Qualot/Hondew/Grepa and Tamato berries are the ones you need, for each stat (Top to Bottom) there. They're DW berries in the Windswept sky area I believe, so if you're in a rush for them, you might have to find someone very generous :)
If you want to see how a Pokemon learns a move, check http://www.veekun.com
Bulbapedia does (click "IV" in the tutor moves box), but you have to go to it manually so it's a lot less helpful.
Firestorm's link doesn't appear to work, so here's another one.
Great pokedex. It also lets you compare pokemon side by side.

Are regionals ever longer or shorter than they are supposed to be? Because my dad wants to go golfing while I'm there, and the event SAYS 8:30 to 7:00 (counting signups).
If signups start at 8:30, what time do I need to be there at to assure spots for me and my two friends?
Where can I find a full VGC Threatlist?
AND
Is there anything that I really need to know?
