Does anyone else....

I keep them as "ALL CAPS" until I think of suitable names for my main team.

And for shits and giggles, I also named my HM Slaves. Slave #1, #2, and so on.

 

[Sanpo Nepenti]

In Mystery Dungeon several characters talk in all caps, such as MAGNEMITE and DIALGA... so whoever indulges that particular idiosyncrasy, I give an ALL CAPS name to.

I hate it. If I don't want to nickname my Pokémon, I atleast put their species name in lowercase letters after a capital letter. It just seems odd to scream, "Go! BULBASAUR!"

 

[Miar]

Never bothered me at all.

In the first three generations, I used ALL CAPS for trainer names and nicknames. I still do in replays of the GBA games. But in DP where in-game trades use and items aren't in all caps, I also stopped.

I sometimes do wish they'd lowercase the Pokémon's real names.

No, it's just the standard by now.

 

[Puddle]

Well the Pokemon names in Black and White are lower case so we won't have to worry any more. It does annoy me a bit; on most of my games I give my Pokemon upper case names but I'm using lower case names on Pearl.

 

[proserpina]

I can only really be bothered nickname the ones I plan to use, and even then the all-caps of other Pokemon does irritate me - I really wish other trainers would nickname theirs too, because otherwise I end up wanting to leave mine with their all-caps species names... Which just feels terribly impersonal. "OTL

 

[Fennel]

I just leave it if I don't plan to use the poke any time soon, but if I decide to use it I always give it a nickname without caps.

 

[hurristat]

I just leave it at whatever I catch it at, I can't be bothered to name it myself. If I do name it, it is in the right case, but otherwise, nah.

 

[Ambipom666]

I would love this pratice more if didn't lead to names like "SLOWPOKE Well" and "DIGLETT's CAVE". I glad Gen IV used more standard English, at any rate. And no, I do not name my 'mons like this.

 

[Kyuuketsuki]

I don't mind all caps names. What I don't like is nicknames, as most of them are just facepalm worthy (the ones I saw).

 

[Faye Scarlet]

It always bugged me, too. D8 And as for trades, I only accept trades with non-immature nicknames. I can't stand the boring-ness of not nicknaming your mons. They're your friends, at least let them stand out from everyone else.

 

[Pikachufanboy]

I usually don't care. Back then, they couldn't use a different color for the text like some games do for the words you actually care about, so this was a decent idea. Now it is kind of redundant, but they reduced the usage a lot. I generally name myself in regular caps, and in my Pikachu only run of yellow I named him in regular caps. Rivals and other Pokemon are fine in caps.
