Pokemon Legends: Arceus - How to Nickname Pokemon
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is quite the departure for The Pokemon Company and developer Game Freak. The traditional Gym Leader battles are non-existent; there are no more random Pokemon encounters; players can dodge attacks from wild Pokemon, and Pokemon can be caught in the wild in real-time by a simple toss of a Poke Ball. However, some old-school Pokemon players might wonder how nicknaming a Pokemon works in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Since there's no catch screen like old Pokemon games, when can players nickname a Pokemon? Here's how to do it.
If a player changes the Pokemon name in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it does not change anything and doesn't impact anything in the future. The only thing players would need to worry about is if they trade with another player online and don't want the person to see the Pokemon's nickname. When nicknaming a Pokemon, the best thing to do is to pick something appropriate. Of course, players can change Pokemon nicknames whenever they want, so there's always a way to revert the Pokemon's name to its original. Sometimes it can be helpful to keep the Pokemon's name the same so that players can learn the official terms for all the Pokemon found in the Hisui region.
