How often do you nickname your Pokémon?

Since I enjoy giving my Pokémon nicknames to give them a unique sense of personality or to highlight their special qualities after evolving, do you feel the same way or is it just me?

    I nickname almost every Pokémon I get, and I hate giving two different mons in the same save file the same nickname. That defeats the point. Sometimes I start running out of names when I catch too much of a Pokémon I like.

    I usually only nickname Pokemon that I use in my team, and maybe Pokemon that I catch during the story as well.

    I used to use a complicated string of logic to nickname my Pokemon. Now I just name them after the first thing that pops into my mind.

    I give some of my pokemon names based on which pokemon I need in my team. But legendaries and mythicals are off limits.

    Do you remember the string of logic? It'll be interesting to see.
