The headline is kinda bad tbh.
The law proposal doesnt say you arent allowed to name pokemon, however it says that online communication with anyone < 17 should be limited. So yes, naming pokemon can fall under it but if you make it that it only shows the name to the owner, and not other users you are fine
I only name my Pokemon when they have a very specific use case. For instance, my family and I are working through the entire first 7gens on our hacked ds’. Personally I’m doing so with gengar line as my starter as I’ve always wanted to do that. I’ve named her after the Greek Godess of Witchcraft and dreams, Hecate due to my love of the hypnosis/dream eater/nightmare abilities. I gave myself a Mew as an HM dump and named him Gumby for being so adaptive.
Outside of these two, I’ve yet to find another Pokemon to keep permanently so I don’t plan to name any of them.
I’m probably in the minority, but I never liked to name my Pokémon.
Also, people should be able to name their Pokémon.

I also don’t like giving my Pokemon nicknames. Don’t worry, I’m sure there are dozens of us.

My least favorite part of the game. All my pokemons would be named random strings of text
Ah, I just left them default/turned the option off.
