Hot take, but why rename? Their original names are cool enough. Plus, it adds to the authenticity of your journey. Embrace the defaults!

Super easy! Just head to any Pokemon Center in the game. Look for the NPC named the Name Rater. He's the guy who can change your Pokemon's name for you. Just talk to him, choose the Pokemon whose name you want to change, and then you can give it a new nickname. Remember, you can only rename Pokemon you originally caught.

Did this last night! Just go to a Pokemon Center and find the Name Rater dude. For real, changing names is a breeze. Plus, it's fun to come up with creative nicknames for your team. Makes the game feel more personal.
