Why do some Pokemon have nicknames? I know how they get them, but why...what do they mean? How do you choose?

I think this one wants another name, but...names are important. I don't know what would be best.

...I ask them what they want to be named.

I wouldn't want to be called Human. That would just get very confusing after a while!

It'd be fine if there weren't so many humans, or if they came in different types like Pokemon. They all look so different from one another. [mrrg. Shellos is making absent happy noises to comfort his new friend.] Choosing names on your own is hard...

And so many of us want to be exactly the same as each other and it's so boring. More uniqueness would be good for us.

Well, Pokemon names don't have to be like human names, I just spout off different words until I find one that my new friend likes! It takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few days!

I used the names they already had, but then I caught one who wanted to be called something else... [frowns.] It seems important here. There's a lot of the same kinds of Pokemon around.

Well, if it's important to them make sure it's a name they reeeeeaaaaaaally like! Do you have anything to go on!?
