Eurgh, it's the opposite for me. I'd rather them NOT have nicknames. To me, their species name IS the nickname. Is Pikachu impersonal to Ash? Maybe you're different but the "connection" isn't there solely through nickname for me. Nicknaming them just makes me feel stupid, like, "This Pokemon would fucking hate the name I gave it, why the hell should I name it 'KFC'"?
