Naming!

[cheyinka]

So I was curious about how other people name their Pokémon. I've had little luck getting anything nicknamed off the GTS or Wonder Trade, even with asking for a nickname in the message box in X. On the other hand, I see people elsewhere giving their Pokémon really clever names, while I end up usually having a clever name for my starter and then just going with boring things like "Grassasaurus" for Bulbasaur or "Fairy-Gem ♦" for my Carbink.

What do the rest of you do? :)

(the Bellsprout I carry in my Pokéwalker is named Leafy Belle; I can't decide if that's clever or boring.)

either fandoms or stupid puns. I named my first Skiddo Skittles kind of randomly and got an HA from my sister that I made her name Snickers. My Bulbasaurs are all named after vegetables, so I know I've sent off a Leek and a Asparagus to Wonder Trade. Eevees get people names so I just sent off an Espeon named Walter because his stats were so terrible.

If I ever try breeding a grass-type (that isn't also a bug, because ick), I will have to name the rejects after vegetables! (My box of reject Yanma are named after letters of the Greek alphabet.)
