In all core series games except [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], players are given the option to nickname their Pokémon immediately after obtaining them: upon catching a Pokémon, receiving a Pokémon as a gift from an NPC, hatching a Pokémon from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In these games, a Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] can take it to the [[Name Rater]] to given it a nickname or have its nickname changed. In [[Generation VIII]], the Name Rater can also give a nickname to an unnicknamed Pokémon, even if its current Trainer is not its Original Trainer.

In [[Generation V]] and {{gen|VII}}, tapping the Pokémon's sprite on the nickname screen replaces the currently entered text with the Pokémon's species name. In Generation VI, this replaces the currently entered text with the Pokémon's current nickname, or its species name if it has not been nicknamed.
