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.

[Naming them after people? Now there's an idea...it'd get strange if those people appeared, though.] I haven't read any books. Is it easy to find good names in them?

I'd say yes, but I've read a lot of books over the years so I suppose I'm biased.

I'm a writer too so coming up with names is something I've had a lot of practise with.

[Ooh. Dorumon clicks the video on - it's occupied by the smiling face of a blobby pink Shellos. He coaxes the Pokemon to lean back away from the camera, so that the shoulder-clinging slug is fully visible.]

What would you call him? ...I still want to come up with something myself, but...I just want to know.

[Harry flicks to video as well and waves at the pokemon.]

Hmm, me?

Well first of all, what's he like?

[The Shellos looks dopily ecstatic, "laaa"-ing and copying the waving motion with its whole body.]

Um...friendly. Happy, and slow. He likes to climb things...and people. [It's still rocking back and forth in a slow wave, its face the picture of :D .]

[Harry has to smile at that.]

Alright then...

Maybe something like Rupert.

Rupert? [...glances at Shellos.

...snickers a bit.] It's kind of silly-sounding. Does it mean anything?

It's the name of a character from a book I used to read my daughter when she was little. I suppose it would fit a bear like pokemon better though.
