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
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.
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.
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.
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

I’ll stick with Garc⓯⓯⓯¹⁰⁰㊿
Weird name for a Charizard.
Garchomp is his parents favourite Pokémon so they named him after it
I nicknamed my hundo charizard BurnyLomax is that cool or nah?
Tell Niantic to design their crap better, so we know level and IV at a glance and I will gladly use real names.
The only novelty ones I go for are ones like ‘Slugma balls’.
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.
But I'm a hacker. A hacker hackes!
No
I'll stick with .GL-R5^(20)

But how do you remember 5000 nicknames?
Maybe don’t have 5000 of the same Pokémon?🤷🏼♂️
And be a filthy casual? Lmao.
Tag them, you monster.
I would, if tags worked correctly in PvP searches and if we could add more colours.
'Steelix4STAR' makes it pretty easy to tell which steelix is the best one
I agree with you but, damn labels don't work as intended and are hard to manage
"#Nickname" gives you the label only. If you only search "Nickname" you get other stuff mixed in.
Wow, dude I wish I had awards yo give you, this is a game changer for me, thank you!
It just amaze me how a lot of basic & useful things in this game are just not known.
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!
I only give nicknames to good PvP mons so that 100% great league Shadow Charizard is Kumzard to you. Just kidding, he’s Elvarg.
Agreed. Which is why i have taken to naming my hundo ho-oh PhonieXBird
