They also have the option of nicknaming any Pokémon that joins their team. Unlike in the core games, however, nicknames cannot be changed, as there is no service akin to the [[Name Rater]] in the series. |

| | As in the games, nicknaming Pokémon is optional. It is very seldom that main characters have nicknamed their Pokémon, leaving nicknaming largely unique to [[characters of the day|one-time characters]]. Often, these characters possess more than one of a species of Pokémon, and nicknaming is to provide distinction, such as in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]''. At other times, the nicknames help to drive the plot, as in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon]]''. |

| | The only main characters to possess a nicknamed Pokémon are {{an|Misty}}, who has a {{p|Luvdisc}} known as [[Caserin and Luverin|Caserin]], and [[James]], who has a {{p|Growlithe}} called [[Growlie]]. [[Ritchie]], a recurring character, also uses nicknames. {{jo|Marina}} from ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and [[Mairin]] from ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' also have nicknamed Pokémon. |
|
| |
|
| ;Korean versions
| | Nicknamed Pokémon still say their species name as their [[cry]] in the anime instead of their nickname. For example, [[Sparky]] still says "Pikachu" and variants of it. |

| | ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga=== |
| | 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". |
|
| |
|
| ;English, Italian, and Spanish versions
| | 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. |
