Lol, I nickname every single pokemon I catch. Even if I never end up using them. Here are a few:

Kabutops: Wonderclaw
Staraptor: Commander
Metagross: Tetramino
Infernape: Furious George (abrv. to FuriousGeo)
Raichu: Kraft
Empoleon: Blownapart
Tentacruel: Hana-Chan
Torchic: Firespark (shiny :) )
Sharpedo: Ninjaws

I tend to nickname my pokemon after their moves ( Ex: I called my Raticate Flarat, because he knows Flame Wheel).

I hope I didn't already post here :embarrass

Is there anyone who DIDN'T name their Geodude "Rocky" at some point? First you think you're being original naming your Geodude like that, right before you realize everybody does it.

My favorite was my Tyranitar

Hey Look! Sand! (Yes that did all fit). When it was sent into battle, the game would say "Nova sent out Hey Look! Sand! Hey Look! Sand!'s Sandstream whipped up a Sandstorm!"

Astride a magic potato alongside Mario. ________ S
I remember that Nintendo Power feature...It was a reader-designed trading card.

My Hitmonchan (from Shoddy Battle) is named Hate. It runs SalacDrain.

The same team also has
Shremor (the Mixed Exploud),
LaVerne (the E-Swording Victreebel ; the first Victreebel I knew was called Fonz),
Primuetzal (the Articuno; es el primer lejendario y es quetzal),
Solantis (a green mantis),
and Lampray (because Lanturn can and will shine on).

Slowbro-Cakemonstr

On Red version (Blue as well) I thought that the Slowbro was a Slowpoke eating a giant cake. Then one of my friends eventually pointed out that it was a shelder. Even though I know the Shelder is not a cake I can't help but think every time I see Slowbro the name Cakemonstr.

This.... is kind of weird, but I tend to name my pokemon after words. o.O Not all of them, but for example....

Abomasnow - Calamity
Bronzong - Liberty (because... it looks like a bell)
Cresselia - Leisure
Slowbro - Abandon
Rhyperior - Chance
Hariyama - Fortune

There's more, but those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head. Other names I've done....

Milotic - Cookie
Gyarados - Baron
Weavile - Shere Khan (<3 Jungle Book)
Dragonite - Avalon
Glaceon - Aspen
Infernape - Kamikaze (and yet he usually ends up semi-sweeping....)

Yeah, I.... name every single pokemon I plan on using at some point.... x.x

Oh, and the Venusaur that I use on (almost) every team is Miho. :) I <3 her even though she's lost me a few OU battles, lol.
sorry for doublepost but i really like dragonites and glaceons names i think they suit them well =]

If I'm not mistaken, are some of those names taken from Fire Emblem tomes? I can't believe I didn't think of that. -renames Glaceon to Fimbulvetr-

My Steelix is named Tecteelix, after the tectonic plates, and I am very tempted to get another named Terateelix, after terra. And of course my Aggron HAD to be named Aaron after me. :)

As for my rivals, my sister is in a habit of naming her D/P/P rival Ipod, and just recently she's started naming her HG/SS rival Cola. I suggested it to her. :chuckle:
