Do You "Customize" Your Pokemon?

[Sciz]

the only nicknaming I do is my dittos for their max stats, and my other breeding fodder, such as my Snorlax that is named 3 MAX.

I don't tend to nickname my pokemon very often, but there are 2 pokemon I commonly use for battleing. The First one is my garchomp, I simply nicknamed it "trogdor", for no special reason. My second one actually has a reason for being nicknamed. The riolu egg you receive from riley hatched on my birthday, so I decided to do something special and nickname it after myself. (I typed my name and added ario to the end)

I'd nickname anything I plan to use for more than ~10 battles. At the moment...Infernape is "Hotsauce", Gengar is "Jaye", Staraptor is "Ty", Milotic is "Lamia", Zangoose is "Finn"...and my two Smeargles are Huggles and Cuddles. >_>

I like using Seals. And there is actually an incentive to catching Unown now, because a boy gives you letter seals that show letters (regular letters). Just think of the dirty possibilities...

 

[Blue Ditto]

I nickname all the Pokemon that I get, unless I'm feeling really sick or terribly lazy. Hell, naming is so fun I even plan out what the names of my legendaries will be...of course, naming on Netbattle gives you a little more freedom.

Vaporeon--Wishy-Washer
Regice--Mr. Grapes
Salamence--Vehemence/Salamanca
Shuckle--Blue Cheese

^some of the better nicknames.

When I can get D/P, the seals will fit the themes. But...that's kind of lame how you need to take off the seals first. :/

You don't need to take off the seals. Just the ball capsules.

I usually leave mine off unless I'm preparing for a battle where I want to look cool. And the letter seals make everything better.

 

[Katatchi]

For my wifi team, I plan on putting alpphabet seals on each one which spell out 'lol rape'. I'm just strange like that you see.

 

[Sheepasaurus Rex]

I'm a nickname machine. That's one of the reasons why I hate Dusknoir: it no longer bears any resemblance to a chochin obake, so one of my all-time favorite nicknames no longer makes sense.

One of my most creative nicknames is unfortunately on a rubbish poke: a Regigigas named Ozymandias.

Most of my legendaries end up named after mythic figures:
Boreas the Suicune
Magog, Ymir, and Talos (Regirock, Regice, and Registeel)
Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos (Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf)

Oh, and my Plusle and Minun are named Pinky and The Brain. Yes, they know Nasty Plot.

I name my Sanders "FlareonAtma".
