Why do people using GTS (XY), name their regular Pokemon after Legendaries?

Question

I was browsing through GTS today and I found a level 1 bidoof named Reshiram. Another instance was when I saw a level 20 Pikachu named Deoxys. I've seen this same thing in Wonder Trade as well. Is it a glitch or something?

Answer 1

Because People Want to!

It is not a Glitch or Anything,so don't worry.
For Some Odd Reason People like to Name Pokemon after Legendaries. I Find No Reason to nickname a Pokemon after Legendaries.It Doesn't Make them Cooler Either. A Charizard named Arceus won't make even the slightest difference. People who trade it will get stuck with a Pokemon with a Horrible Nickname.

Sooooo, they Nickname them that because they want to,not a Glitch like I mentioned.
