Naming your Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet is super easy and adds that personal touch to your Pokéjourney! Right after you catch a Pokémon, the game will prompt you if you want to give a nickname to your new buddy – just hit 'Yes' and type away! If you missed that chance or wanna rename ‘em, head over to any Pokémon Center. Look for the person standing by the counter with a computer; they’re the Name Rater. Chat them up, and they'll let you rename your Pokémon to whatever you want (as long as it's appropriate, of course). Happy naming!

Just catch a Pokémon and you’ll get the prompt to name it right there. Missed it? No worries, just hit up the Name Rater at a Pokémon Center. Easy peasy.

Named my Pikachu 'Sparky' and never looked back. The Name Rater in the Pokémon Center makes it a breeze. Adds a whole new level of attachment to the game when you can personalize your team like that.

Honestly, who even names their Pokémon nowadays? Just stick with the originals, keeps the authenticity of the game.
