When you name your character....

Gen I/II: DEVIN
Ge III/IV: Devin
My Japanese HeartGold: デビン
 
I always used the capital letter first, I think. I can't quite remember really.
 
I'm annoyed by BILLYMAYSISH, so I stick with capitalizing the first letter and nothing more.

For everything.
 
All caps up till Gen IV, in Pearl and when I get HG just the first
 
How can you write question marks in caps?
but srsly, I've changed to using question marks instead. Because it makes me feel mysterious ; ;
 
I never understood why every name was in caps in the first place.

Even when I was a kid.
Seriously.

this.

First letter, always. Caps lock is stupid looking. Even if I don't really wanna nickname a Pokémon, I do anyways so that I can make their name not caps lock'd.

Katakana in my JP games too, but that's because everyone else's name is in Katakana and it makes sense. If I could use kanji, I would.
 
Eh, since Gen III, I've capitalized just the first letter. Same goes for my Pokemon nicknames too. My friends are the opposite of me though, using ALL CAPS and such . . . but to each his or her own, right?
 
Like everyone said, all caps gen I-III, just the first letter a cap in gen IV. In this example Ranger is a gen IV game xD
 
I liked being the odd-name out of the entire Pokeverse, so I always spelled my name properly.
 
Like everyone has said, I used to capatilize till the fourth generation.
 
I wonder why a lot of people started to only capitalized the first letter when Generation IV started?
 
I used to put it in all caps, up until I got Platinum. I decided to stop then for some reason.
 
Up until Generation IV, I just used the default names, which were always all caps. Now, I only capitalize the first letter.
 
I capitalize the first letter, and leave the rest lower case.
