Nicknaming Pokémon rarely has any effect on game-play, and is simply an element of customization that players are free to use or ignore. The only games in which nicknamed Pokémon are treated differently are {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. In these games, when nicknamed Pokémon transferred from a main series game they have a chance of being alternately colored. This coloration is not the same as being a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. This feature has not been included in any later games. | Nicknaming Pokémon rarely has any effect on game-play, and is simply an element of customization that players are free to use or ignore.

The host will always commend the player on his or her choice of name, even if the player decides to leave the Pokémon's name as it was. When [[mixing records|records have been mixed]] with another save file, the television network may report on the other Trainer's choice of nicknames. | Sometimes, in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, when the player gives a previously caught Pokémon a nickname at the Name Rater's house, the [[Hoenn TV]] network will report the nickname chosen.

With [[Generation IV]]'s [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]], some | With [[Generation IV]]'s [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]], some naming issues may arise. The main issues are receiving Pokémon with nicknames in a foreign language and receiving Pokémon whose nicknames are threatening, inappropriate, racist, vulgar or pointless (for example, a name consisting of random characters). As the chances of matching both the Trainer ID and Secret ID are near impossible, these nicknames cannot be changed. | ||
