No, I'm not asking if you hack, jeez >.>

I'm asking if you nickname it, give it's pokeball some seals, the like.

I plan to nickname them, but Wi-fi is slow enough without Pokeball seals, I don't think we need something else to slow it down =/
 
I'm thinking about nicknaming my pokemon, but I don't know what to name them without giving away which build they are.
 
I don't nickname but I think seals are pretty cool. I might actually nickname in the future but generally I like them the way they are.
 
i nickname my pokemon after they reach like, level 50, having earned right of passage after being named something like H31 since birth, I am usually content to name them after literary allusions or philosophical terms that just barely make the 10 letter limit :o

i would do seals but they seem like too much of a hassle
 
I used to name them, but I'd end up with names like "Scarfcross" or "Passjask". Just didn't seem too practical, to me... (Though I had a CBMence named Specsmence. XD)
Once I get my team finalized I'll probably give them names and seals, though.
 
Also, seals are cool, but it's really annoying having to remove them to deposite pokemon in the box.
 
I'll personalize Ball Capsules for some of my favorite Pokemon sometimes when I'm bored, but I never nickname. Unless it's something like when I nickname Synchronizers/Ditto to their nature for quick reference. That I'll do.

Wow, lol. That's pretty much the same way I thought of it. They all get a generic name before I check their IVs, and then once it's done training and at or past level 50, then it's a true 'warrior' now, and gets a name. Lol, fun, huh?

I've been enjoying the seals. But having to remove the seal from a Pokemon before you box it is rather annoying. Having to nickname all my Pokemon is rather irksome too, since I cannot begin breeding until I've already decided a name. Magnezone is next in line, but nothing seems quite right. At the moment its between Zapmaster, Gonkbot, and Herbert.
 
I love nicknaming my pokemon :-D

Well, only the ones that I use in my teams; because it makes them unique and cool.

Plus it confuses kids who don't know what pokemon I'm using, and so they start calling it by its name.
Salamandro = Heatran
 
I nickname them on there posture, facial expression, and type.

For example my Swampert's (Emerald) name is OMG ewwww!. Its face just screams for that name.
 
my 447 sattack mewtwo is named HADOUKEN cuz it does the hadouken animation when it attacked in colloseum
 
I nickname my Poke`mon all the time, and I plan on putting seals on them when I'm finished training.

My Togekiss is nicknamed "D'luv", and my Porygon-Z is "l-l4xX0r". XD
 
I nickname all the time, except when I can't think of an appropriate one, like for my Milotic. Sometimes I'm name them after Colors, Greek Gods/Goddesses or what they're based off, like how I always name my Swampert 'Swimmy".

Seals a re cool but it's annoying to have to remove them to deposit them.
 
I nickname them the way they're spelled in japonese.
ex: Azelf's japonese name's Agnome, but is spelled "Agunomu".
PALKIA becomes Parukia, INFERNAPE Goukazaru, etc.

Sadly we can't use the kanas.
 
I give them all seals, although some don't look that nice. It's annoying to put take them off every time I use the PC though... Nicknames are just their names but with one uppercase and rest lowercase letters.
 
I can think of some.
Electivire - "Coulomb"
Magnezone - "InTheZone"
Skarmory - "Airplane"
Togekiss - "BombingRun"
Metagross - "Menace"
Dragonite - "Puff"
Infernape - "Wrath"
Ninjask - "Speedo"

Can't think of one for Garchomp though. "Land Shark" is .. not good :P

Garchump?

I don't particularly care for Garchomp. . .
 
Well, with the info given here, it means I won't be adding seals.. (not worth the hassle).

I only nickname in-game teams... as generally any nickname used in friendly battles is generally silly, stupid, or a pun nobody likes or gets... i.e. Magnezpwn, Frogger, or Gayquaza.
 
In Advanced, I named my Pokemon off the seven sins. The only one I've nicknamed in Pearl so far was Mamoswine to Cold Ivory.
 
Pokemon nicknames are hilarious.

"Go! Fat Joe!" Fat Joe's Drizzle made it rain!

And then there's the time my roommate/unfortunate partner actually used a Bibarel in 2v2. He named it "DAMN YOU!" Yes, with the exclamation point. Fourteen seconds later, as my Torterra is getting annihilated by Blastoise and Empoleon Quick Clawing all over the place, I was shouting Bibarel's nickname, along with a few other choice words at him. Good times.
 
I nickname all of my pokemon, although it gets difficult nicknaming your 6th Godly Togekiss or 3th Godly Vulpix/Eevee, etc. =(
 
oh man if seals weren't such a pain with changing pokemon in and out of boxes, i'd use 'em all day. i still do, but its kinda annoying
