(→Outcomes of nicknaming: If it doesn't have any functional impact, I don't think it needs to be mentioned) |

[[Non-player character|NPC]]-nicknamed Pokémon are somewhat rare, and almost never encountered in battles. However, all Pokémon acquired from [[in-game trade]]s have nicknames, as well as all [[List of Contest opponents|Pokémon used by NPC Coordinators]] | [[Non-player character|NPC]]-nicknamed Pokémon are somewhat rare, and almost never encountered in battles. However, all Pokémon acquired from [[in-game trade]]s have nicknames, as well as all [[List of Contest opponents|Pokémon used by NPC Coordinators]] (With the exception of [[Wallace]]'s {{p|Milotic}} in [[Generation VI]]). Likely to emphasize the {{DL|Shiny Pokémon|Pokémon Stadium|color change effect}}, most of the Pokémon encountered in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} also have nicknames. Team Rocket's nicknamed Pokémon have numbers in their nicknames (which was impossible on hand-held games at the time). | ||
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the player can trade a {{p|Petilil}}{{sup/5|W}} or {{p|Cottonee}}{{sup/5|B}} to Lass Dye for the opposite Pokémon in [[Nacrene City]]. If the player returns to her after defeating [[Ghetsis]] at the end of the game, they can battle her, and she will use the player's former Pokémon, now fully evolved. If this Pokémon was given a nickname by the player before being traded, it will appear with the nickname in this battle, marking the first time in the main series that the player can battle a nicknamed Pokémon used by an NPC. | In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the player can trade a {{p|Petilil}}{{sup/5|W}} or {{p|Cottonee}}{{sup/5|B}} to Lass Dye for the opposite Pokémon in [[Nacrene City]].
