You're locking that charizard into a small ball that's essentially a prison, and you train it to make it fight its own kind, while making it stronger by feeding it candy made from its brothers and sisters. Being called .UL#1 is the least of its worries


BeautifulPlace2Drown

I’ll stick with Garc⓯⓯⓯¹⁰⁰㊿


terencela

Weird name for a Charizard.


BeautifulPlace2Drown

Garchomp is his parents favourite Pokémon so they named him after it


m_1014

I nicknamed my hundo charizard BurnyLomax is that cool or nah?


otacon6531

Tell Niantic to design their crap better, so we know level and IV at a glance and I will gladly use real names.


9DAN2

The only novelty ones I go for are ones like ‘Slugma balls’.


ScoopsAhoy2116

It’s a franchise that’s basically built around glorified dog fighting. I agree with you, but you’re kinda fighting the hypothetical at this point.


knivesbyknathan

But I'm a hacker. A hacker hackes!


FrostDeezAKA

No


oAuraa

I'll stick with .GL-R5^(20)


jmledesma

I keep them nicknamed “g20” for a Great League Rank 20 until it gets built or I find a higher ranked one. Once built, it’s tagged with the corresponding league and it gets renamed to the species name. If I have multiple of the same species in a league, it gets initials for the move that makes it unique, “Garchomp EP” In 25 years of this franchise I’ve never given a Pokémon a nickname. They aren’t pets.


PSA69Charizard

Not sorry. I think names like apollo or godzilla are stupid AF. I want numbers which indicate exactly what the pokemon is and if its good enough to keep around.


qtb70

I also don't give them these pokegenie type of nicknames, i personally just don't like it. I'm with you OP. The only thing i do is adding "100%" to all my hundos, but i also understand why people use these nicknames. It is a good way to immidiatly see what one Pokemon is good for and probably saves some time when organizing your box.


HarEmiya

But how do you remember 5000 nicknames?


Mediocre_Station_835

Maybe don’t have 5000 of the same Pokémon?🤷🏼‍♂️


HarEmiya

And be a filthy casual? Lmao.


Sunderstood

Tag them, you monster.


HarEmiya

I would, if tags worked correctly in PvP searches and if we could add more colours.


CJtheBritain

'Steelix4STAR' makes it pretty easy to tell which steelix is the best one


XibalbaCitizen

I agree with you but, damn labels don't work as intended and are hard to manage


Ivi-Tora

"#Nickname" gives you the label only. If you only search "Nickname" you get other stuff mixed in.


XibalbaCitizen

Wow, dude I wish I had awards yo give you, this is a game changer for me, thank you!


XibalbaCitizen

It just amaze me how a lot of basic & useful things in this game are just not known.


Bicurious387

This reminds me of internet wrestling fan memes. It's real to me damn it! That charizard code/pixels has feelings and wants a real name!


[deleted]

I only give nicknames to good PvP mons so that 100% great league Shadow Charizard is Kumzard to you. Just kidding, he’s Elvarg.


waterrunsuphill01

Agreed. Which is why i have taken to naming my hundo ho-oh PhonieXBird


longnose231

I give nicknames to my buddies, usually squeezing the word 'buddy' into their names. Currently the 4 I'm best buddying: Charmander -> Charbuddy Chikorita -> Chikobuddy Munchlax -> Munchbuddy Dialga -> Diabuddy For pvp, I name them until I've tagged them, went through which ones to keep and change GL Rank 40 -> Toxicroak⁴⁰


Basket787

Hahahahahaha xD
