What kind of Nicknames do you use for your Pokemon. Why? What do you use them on if you have any special nicknames for special pokes

For me, it's Ghibli Characters for Gen 1, Food for Gen 2, and Scientists for Gen 3

I just about never nickname my pokemon, dont know why, just dont.

I've recently been going with comic related names in my last few playings

for example in Y at the moment, I am Pandora and Greninja is Phantom (The Phantom Stranger) and Venusaur is The Question and we form the Trinity of Sin (one of my favourite comic storylines)

Ive taken to nicknaming lately. i always used to call every absol i owned "Havoc" so thats stuck around for ages. my X team that i plan on finishign E4 with is as follows:

Delphox (m) - Kai (literally translates to fire)
Absol (f) - Havoc (for obvious reasons)
Venasaur (f) - Fleur (flower)
Aurorus (f) - Eirlys (means snowdrop)
Tyranitar (m) - Terrian (means physically strong)
Sylveon (f) - Fae (cause fairy)

generally its hard for me to come up with names, so i generally only name my E4 team and my favourite pokes (like absol)

Currently for Gen V, I'm doing a mix of Wolf Among Us characters, OC Names (only used one so far), and electronica musicians/composers.

Currently I have:
Faith (Braixen♀)
Giorgio (Pikachu♂)
Lyn (Buizel♀)
Snow (Skiddo♀)

I need a nickname for my Noivern. I was thinking Soundwave but I'm not too sure now.

I like soundwave.
It's like the transformer.

Another cool one would be based off an electornic artist. Like Deadmau5 or Skrillex lol

Soundwave i love though.

What would be a good nickname for Crobat?

Bruce

Is that a Batman Joke? Cause I was thinking of naming it Nightwing.

yush it was
and yes Nightwing is awesome
I find Batman's ally characters (Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, etc) more interesting than Batman himself but in a way the great allies are what makes Batman good. :D
