I vary between nonsensical nicknames, things that I think match the mon well, or spoonerisms or rhymes.

I had a Durant in BW2 called Tertanium; in SuMo i named my Toucannon "Cantillery", my Exeggutor-A "Pandanus", a guzzlord I caught but don't use much "Paula Deen", and a few other similarly silly names. I have a Starmie called Yarmie.

Napoleon the Empoleon is always the example I throw out. I will never stop being smug about that any time it says "Napoleon, you're in charge!"

But beyond that, I've named my Decidueye Diana as a low key nod to Greek Mythology and Wonder Woman, which turned out to be cool when she became the owl archer.

I'm pretty sure the steel-armored penguin would be more smug about that.

I don't normally name my Pokemon, except possibly for Contests(which don't exist in SuMo, REEEE-). I did name my OR Froslass La Saia, who proceeded to completely wreck the Toughness Contest circuit.

Some of my other nic-names are from completley non-canon observations:
Kids' WB had pokemon for a few seasons way back when and they had a little cropped comercial where a Scizor crushed one of Ash's pokeballs with a single claw...hence:
Crush the Scizor (Defensive Mega-Scizor Build.)

there's also my nic-names for the Starter Monkeys: gender+Hair-style
Sis Bob - Female Simipour (as in bob-cut style hair)
Bro Toupee -Simisage (Nuff said, that brocoli turning into a toupee is just...WHAT)
Bro Hawk - Simisear (plays on Fauxhawk and Mohawk both, honestly I was outta ideas)
--it's not really canon they are siblings or have these hairstyles, but that's what I thought of when i saw them.

And Finally Carbo the Torterra - name was inspired by a Boss-class Turtle-type foe in FF12.
(and I also have Timid Turtwig named TeenyCarbo, which is not much more than a pet but still...)

Indeed it does. Fortunately it's good til like march or something.

For those of you in postgame that QR code made me find that there is a mall in the first island city.  I don't remember it being there at all.  Judging from the contents it opened up after beating the game.  And you are not actually told it exists.

I found that by accident pretty much right after getting the Charizard ride and going back to the first island to hunt for Zygarde Cells. I think I stopped to check if the outfits in shops rotated like in XY, and just ran into the wrong door.

Next thing I know, I've been abusively harangued for walking in a public place, then dragooned into picking up what is clearly thinly-disguised Poke-poop and feeding it to a Pokemon like some godawful recreation of 2 Grimers 1 Cup. I actually flinched when I encountered my second, non-psychotic, janitor in the Game Freak building.

Later I spent half a minute frantically mashing a large bone into a bowl spraying goo everywhere while the camera focused on Mallow's midsection as she kept instructing me to do it faster and harder, and then managed to jump into Olivia's bed and get a message about what the mattress told me about her personality or something. The undertones in this game are getting weird.

So, this is extremely random, but does anyone here nickname their Pokemon with regular people names? Like... George? Richard? Fitzgerald?

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

I do occasionally, though I generally try to avoid it. I prefer to use references or bad puns, but I've been known to name things random gibberish when I can't think of anything, (which is more and more frequent after 7 gens of Pokes) flat-out insulting nicknames for Pokemon who gave me an unreasonably hard time when catching them, (Like the zubat who killed half my party using SOS/Confuse Ray stall...) and stuff like 'Tradebait' or 'Sparekachu' or what-have-you for Pokemon I'm catching to trade to NPCs.

That was great.

That particular mall is available as soon as.... well I found it as soon as I got the Tauros/first ride.  It was kind of a 'Hey, there is enough room for me and my bull to walk into that.'

The trailer for Empoleon's addition to Pokken Tournament Arcade was released last night.

Spoiler: A little unexpected, but... (click to show/hide)

It seems that the male player character and Lillie are a canon couple. Kahuna Hapu, after being beaten, says that Lillie did good finding such a strong, reliable(you've saved her literally a dozen+ times already) boyfriend. Lillie smiles and nods to that.

I guess it's the first time in the series the player character actually gets any romance. HG/SS made a couple of jokes of something between Ethan and Lyra that never materialized, and there was implied shipping between Brendan and May(I prefer the May+Wally and Brendan+Magma Grunt fanships though) in ORAS. Not sure about BW/BW2/XY though, since I never played them.

I wonder why Brendan x Aqua Grunt is such a minority ship compared to Brendan x Magma Grunt.

Also, any knowledge as to what Hapu says in regards to a female PC?

I've discovered such a bizarre issue with Pokemon Refresh that it seems like an oversight; either on GameFreak's part or my own.

Basically, when trying to clean up very large two-screen Pokemon like Snorlax, anything that needs cleaning on the top screen seems to be unreachable. I've tried pressing every button, I've tried to "drag" the screen with the stylus with and without tools, I've tried combining all of the above...but my Snorlax's head remains dripping wet and I can't get the blow dryer up there.

Am I missing something obvious? Did the developers completely overlook the possibility of needing to using cleaning equipment on the top screen?

[Kanil]

I couldn't come up with an answer either. When you feed them a jelly bean it moves the camera and you can interact with the upper half, but you can't do that until they're tidied up.

[RedWarrior0]

Somehow it worked for me by putting the stylus (with or without a tool) up at the top of the touchscreen and holding it there. I think I discovered that on accident.

Give me four days and I can answer the question regarding Female Trainers as i have a spare copy with a Female Trainer half-way there.

As for MayXanyone, I only really ever saw MayXBrendan in the game, but then again, Hoenn-region, I'm playing female because May.
Overall though I seriously hope the anime doesn't make ash walk your very in-game footsteps due to XY's Serena having the hots for Ash, Lillie has those same hots for the Player of SuMo, and would make way too many harem members. I know he already has too many but you get my point.
