Do you name your mons? /vp/?

>>28292002

I usually don't.

>>28292002
Yes.

Depends on my mood. I never nickname my mons the first playthrough of a new region though, it makes it harder to remember everything's names.

>>28292002
Yes. I name them all. And I have autistic naming systems, like all fossil Pokemon are named after ancient civilizations.

Never, I like the original names.

>>28292095
like Plato, Socrates, and so on?

>>28292002
Yes
Mostly because intermixing nicknamed and non-nicknamed mons gives me autism for some reason.

I nickname them if I intend to keep them on my team for ay least 2 gyms. So the elemental monkies you get in BW get a pass. The unnamed mons in my party are primarily just revive fodder.

In PMD I nickname every mon I recruit.

>>28292002
Yes, i usually name them after vidya characters that i like.

>>28292095
Not exactly. I meant the actual civilizations, so names like Rome, Olmec, Egypt.
Although I like your idea of using notable ancient people. I might rethink this.

Sorry

I always name them. Usually people-names that range from heroic to classy. Like my Azumarril named Hoss or my Gardevoir, Engrid.

I named my Electrode Armstrong.

>>28292002
i nickname every pokemon i catch, and then if they're something i already have i wondertrade it away

a lot of the nicknames are just whatever i think of off the top of my head though so they're mostly pretty terrible

when I like 'em

>>28292002
When playing a game for the first time I won't give most of my Pokemon nicknames, replays always, unfinished ROM hacks no.

Whenever you nick name a pokemon you get emotionally attached to it.
