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.)

The "no nicknames" thing is what prompted me to ask for nicknames - I had somehow not realized that the message box could be used for that. (But, as I said, generally no luck on that front.)

That's a bummer :/ I've gotten at least three with nicknames off the top of my head (though one was a completely tasteless nickname that I traded off as soon as I could).

Next time we're both on, I could trade you something with a nickname?
