Pokemon is a series of games where our little fighters can appear over and over throughout the generations. And among the many, we have our favorites. Do you give nicknames for your pokemon, that you re-use when you catch them in a different game?
For example. My beloved Aegislash. I have my own strategy for raising her. (Yes, I keep getting a female sword throughout my games.) Given her backstory, I've come to call her "Excalibur", and repeated that in ORAS, and Sun/Moon.
Moving on, My Rowlet -> Decidueye. I name it "OwliverQueen", because Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow, and Decidueye is an owl, who shoots arrows. Some are based off of the anime. I name my Diglett "TrioTrioTrio", because of that one episode back in gen 1, where there was one part where it would just go "Diglett dig, Diglett dig, TRIO TRIO TRIO", in anticipating of its inevitable evolution into a Dugtrio. I also name my Psyduck "Psy Yi Yi", because that was what it would say, half the time, in the anime. Mudkip's evolutionary line is "Memekip", between the "I herd u liek mudkips" meme, and, well, Vinny from Vinesauce getting a Mudkip in a corruption of Pokemon RSE, named the same as my nickname for it. Zigzagoon is named "Ziz", because I didn't know what to do with it, despite it becoming a useful HM slave.
So what are your traditions with nicknames?
