Question

How come Ash doesn't nickname his Pokemon ?

Answer 1

My theory is that the reason Ash doesn't nickname his Pokémon is because the creators don't want to confuse new viewers, as a result they make Ash keep the original Pokémon's names so the target audience isn't overwhelmed with all this new stuff and are put off.

This might be a wild theory but then again...It may be true :)

This isn't even close to a wild theory, it makes perfect sense and is most likely the real reason as they're trying to promote the games and get kids into all the Pokemon and stuff. :)

Answer 2

Most likely because GAMEFREAK doesnt want the viewers to think that Chimchar is called Joe. That is theoretically of course :D

Hope I helped!!!

PS: This Is Just an idea.

Answer 3

Ash is a mostly anime character, so they don't want to change the names because people will be confused.
