Nicknames?

[Tellis]

Yeah it probably is more fitting, but I wanted the pair to be Pizza Hut and Taco Bell because of this song.

And I always give the Legendaries dumb names because they're always silly and dumb and I never use them anyway.

The whole Ash & Pikachu thing is kind of a weak argument. I mean, Pikachu's the mascot (or got turned into the mascot, I guess), it'd be confusing for him to have multiple names or something like "_____ the Pikachu." And also there's other nicknamed Pokemon in the anime anyway, like Ritchie's Sparky, and plenty of other Pokemon get nicknamed in the manga and stuff.

Not that I always nickname Pokemon, but saying the species names are the nicknames kind of feels like getting a dog and saying "your name is Dog" or something.

But it all comes down to personal preference, anyway, so I don't really care what other people do. They can play the game whatever way they like, doesn't effect my enjoyment of the game.
