Nickname: Difference between revisions

Some Pokémon manga series use nicknames as a way to differentiate and individualize Pokémon characters. At least two [[Pokédex holder]]s in each region name their Pokémon. Quite often, the Trainer will nickname his or her Pokémon with a particular pattern, such as how {{adv|Crystal}} 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 {{p|Castform}} being named Fofo by {{adv|Ruby}}, Pokémon that are given away such as [[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Gengar}} to Garma, and {{kal|Grace}}'s Rhyhorn to Saisai by {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}} respectively. As well as removing nicknames made by others as {{adv|Silver}}'s Kingdra was nicknamed ''Tat-chan'' when she was under {{adv|Green}}'s ownership.
