Nickname: Difference between revisions

Some Pokémon manga series use nicknames as a way to differentiate and individualize Pokémon characters. At least Two [[Pokédex holder|Pokédex holders]] in each region names their Pokémon. Quite often, the Trainer will nickname his or her Pokémon with a particular pattern, such as how {{adv|Crystal|Crys}} ends most of her Pokémon's nicknames with the "e" sound, and {{adv|Gold}} ends most of his Pokémon's names with "bo". [[Brock]]'s six Geodude are each named after a number, from "Geoone" to "Geosix".

Unlike in the games, nicknames can be changed by other trainers. Examples of this include Mr. Stone's Castform being named Fofo by {{adv|Ruby}}, Pokémon that are given away such as [[Gurkinn]]'s Gengar to Lasma and [[Grace]]'s Rhyhorn to Saisai by {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}} respectively.
