Nickname

Nicknames serve the same purpose in the Pokemon Universe as they do in real life; to allow us to know a person by something other than their name, which also can show our bond to that person. Many nicknames for pokemon have been seen, from both the show and from the video games. Some nicknames bear an obvious resemblence to the original name of the pokemon, and others are more creative. Here is a list of the nicknames for pokemon, from both sources.
