Nicknames?

You'd be disqualified if you did that in competitive play. Plus it wouldn't even be THAT helpful because, unlike your cheater self in the main storyline of the game, you aren't allowed to switch out when your opponent switches out. But yeah, you're not a very good trainer if you have to rely on something like that to win.


Unrelated, I've been playing through LeafGreen again (since I never actually beat it) and I've been naming my Pokemon after music people. For exaaaample:

Primeape = Nikki Sixx
Machoke = Iggy Pop
Kadabra = Björk
Pikachu = Les Paul
Gyarados = Dave Grohl
Pinsir = MF Doom
Squirtle = Busy P
Snorlax = Axl Rose
