I don't understand people who don't. Its so impersonal.

People who nickname Pokemon are autists of the highest order. It's a fucking game and they are tools that allow you to win.

I only don't nickname Pokemon that I'm only catching for a specific purpose (breeding an egg move, getting dex completion, 1-off HM use). Otherwise, not only do I nickname, but I try to stick to a theme within a given playthrough.

They already have weird made-up names. If I've never seen a dog before and am given one, I'd likely just call it "the dog" rather than immediately come up with some cutesy name for it.

Pokémon creatures are ones and zeroes, not living beings.

it feels weird that my pokemon are the only ones with nicknames compared to the other trainers in the game

I actually call my dog dog.
I called my cat cat.
Shit. I'm slightly concerned now.

I also have a nameless cat, and I don't nickname my pokemon.

>not the other way around
What the fuck is wrong with you

Ironically this is far more autistic.

I only nickname them on a Nuzlocke run.

dios mio... el asinaga...

>Used to take inspiration from JoJo stands and just name my pokemon after songs I liked
>Start bricking in gameplay because I've used up all my favorites
>Stopped entirely when the name filter was fucking up name schemes

Fuck game freak for implementing censors that don't even fucking work correctly.

I call my dog bark.

>why yes, I do stare at the nickname screen for hours trying to come up with a good name before giving up and leaving it blank, how did you know?
