Naming Pokemon?

[Zatrei]

Are you going to be able to name your Pokemon? I would personally like to be able to, and most Pokemon MMOs don't let you, and I know someone who will only play a Pokemon MMO if they can. Will you be able to?

[Aon]

You could in the old games, and it doesn't seem too hard, so I don't see why they wouldn't. The only small problem I see is during PvP, would your enemies see the nickname you gave, or the name of the actual pokemon?

i would want to but i dnt know......

ODOR BLOCKING POWEEEEEEERRR!!

[Zatrei]

I wouldn't see why they couldn't see the Nickname. It would make having good names worth it, and add a bit more uniqueness and customization to the game.

Oh my god I can totally sense a funny moment using this feature. Jeremy101 sent out YOUR MOM! (snorlax) What will you do?

Hey, I'm all for customization of names, but it will probably have to go hand in hand with some sort of profanity blocker.

Really dude? Come on, you can do better, I know you can. This one is just way too cliche, everyone uses it.

@Spirit: Yeah, that's the only problem, then you have to factor in all the misspellings of the words, like a $ instead of an S or leaving off letters, adding letters, etc.
That could take a long time, even the really popular MMO's like Runescape haven't completely perfected it, there are still people running around saying the F word spelled differently..

I would be willing to make a list of differents spellings of the words, purely because I have nothing better to do..

I personally love nicknaming my Pokemon; it adds a whole new layer of depth when playing. However, as stated before, people would easily abuse that feature and use inappropriate names and profanity.

The problem still plagues many MMO's. I would love to have the option, but realistically, I don't see it being implemented.

suggestions:
1: you can name your pokemon on your own name, but it will be like in pokemon games, a square with letters, and you can't use any other than universal who can everyones computer can read
2: if you call your pokemon inappropriate it will automatically change name into originally pokemons name
3: another player see that name you chose for pokemon, but when he put pointer on name it will change name into originally, and when pointer removed from pokemons name, it will change again into player-made name

Surely it wouldn't be hard to add a report name feature and if a pokemon was flagged enough times the name would be changed back to default? Of course then you'll get people abusing the report feature. It's a shame the level of maturity of most people online is so low, I would really love to be able to give my pokemon names, that was one of my favourite parts of the games, making all my pokemon MINE, it was the only customisation you got.

a high maturity level on the internet is something that is rare among most communities
