I bet you're also one of those people that believe humans actually evolved from monkeys, or that animals have souls and deserve their own names even though they cannot understand or interpret common speech.

Legitimately kill yourself, in real life.

>tfw you know this thread is going to end up in the "do you call your dog "dog?"" argument

Half of the fun of catching pokemon is getting to name them after.

>>29571404
Me and my family actually do this. We call our dog "animal" because he's a filthy beast and doesn't need a name you twat.

>there are people who use pokemons as a plural for pokemon

>>29571401
But humans did evolve from a common ancestor that branched off into today's apes.

Blame the anime. Ash never nicknamed his pokemon. No one did besides Richie.

>>29571443
Why would your family own a dog if it is clearly a burden?

>>29571463
If that's true, why do apes still exist?

>>29571401

Holy shit you just gave a canned response to the answer you were expecting you stupid retard.

>>29571481
I literally just said we branched off from a common ancestor. Humans are apes, too. We didn't evolve from chimpanzees, but rather an ancestor shared between us.

Like how Gloom can evolve into either Vileplume or Bellossom.

>>29571401
Can you understand their language? Yes the noises they make are their language humans have their own language aswell and tbqh humans would go exstinct if they didn't have technology while animals would survive.So think about that for once and see that humans arent superior

Why is it that anti name fags get so autistically mad when asked about why they don't name Mons, like for real, the fucks wrong with y'all

>>29571343
I do every first run. I rarely do on reruns, because I'm lazy and don't feel as strong of a connection

I do it mostly for easy identification of sets. I've got a Megazard Y named Charcolt and a Megazard X named Alain. Makes it less likely that I'll grab the wrong one if I'm multitasking/not paying 100% attention before a battle.

>>29571343
I never nickname unless I've played through that version multiple times because I want to learn the proper names

>Hurrdurrhurr check out my epik vidya/anime/cartoon/meme/sex reference! Aren't I fucking zany! I can't wait to show all my friends on /vp//Reddit the awesum crazy names I made!

t. Every single nicknamer ever

>there are people who call Raikou, Entei and Suicune "dogs"

>>29571604
I name my Pokemon like my pets.

Human names

>>29571343
Blame the anime for me. When I was watching, Ash never nicknamed anyone, and so I didn't either. That habit stuck with me ever since.

>>29571481
Other anons have already mentioned that we didnt evolve directly from modern "apes", but on top of that just because a species has evolved doesn't necessarily mean that the original versiom of that species stops existing. You know that pokemon evolution isnt actually how it works right?

>>29571343
I name all my dextrash dumb names and anything I trade is named a mispelled version of it's NFE form if it has one
e.g. a Graveler is named Geodedu, and a Bulbasaur is Bulbasuar

Animals don't deserve names. Only intellectuals deserve names. Really we should just take away the names of all those unworthy

>>29571600
Played through Multiple times? Are you stupid and can't remember things the gist time you see them?

>>29571343
I mean I can understand, they're all the kind of players who diss your favorite pokemon because it doesn't fit the smogon tier system or isn't "optimal for pure pokemon gameplay." usually the mouth-breathers.

>>29571343
>being autistic enough to name pokemon
Bet you use amie too and think refresh is a good addition

What are some of your favorite name themes folks? If you even have one

Usually I go with any fantasy sounding shit that could have come from a book series, but I'm gonna try to do a Mythology and/or stars naming convention in SM.

>>29571693
Quake, Tequila, ShinySparkles, Flamer.

I knicknamed my pokemon once but it just falls appart when they evolve, when you have more than one, or when I stop playing for a long time.

>>29571693
I tend to bump Japanese sounding and fantasy names things like Romishen and Heria (my Espurr and Trevanant)

Attention /vp/! This is a Public Service Anouncement! I am giving these anons a (You)! They are clearly bait and should be avoided! They are just after your (You)s! The more attention they are given and the more (You)s they receive, the more likely they are to come back with more bait! I am giving them a (You) so that (You) don't have to! This has been a Public Service Anouncement.

People aren't going to hate you for liking a shitmon. They're definitely going to judge you if you attempt to use it in OU or something. But it's not a conspiracy to mock people who don't have high tier mons as their favs

I'm too busy with bike simulator for this. And yes, I do call my pet rabbit "Rabbit" most of the time.

I don't nickname legendaries.
Everything else is fair game.

References. Always references. For example, my FR team was:

Charizard - Smaug (The Hobbit)
Nidoking - Baragon (Frankenstein Conquers the World)
Gengar - Yakov (The Double)
Lapras - Columba (the monk who first described the Loch Ness monster)
Psyduck - Sancho (Don Quixote)
I remember I had a second HM Slave for Fly, but I don't recall its species or name.

>>29572552

I don't nickname because I can't come up with good ones that I like.

>>29573898
YOUR NEW TEAM SHALL BE
DICKS, THE MAGIKARP
DICKS, THE FEEBAS
DICKS, THE ABRA

AND YOUR RIVAL SHALL BE... GARY

Jokes apart, if you want some help, say your tastes and your team.

>>29573898
I've only ever came up with one. It was my Fennekin that I named after my pet dog. I didn't let it evolve until it was in the mid-40s range and I had already beaten the game.
