A Name Rater (Japanese: せいめいはんだんし Onomancer) is a man who judges how suitable Pokémon nicknames are. Name Raters allow the players to rename their Pokémon, as long as they are the original Trainer.
Renamable Pokémon
If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he will say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it.
If the Pokémon he's judging is an outsider Pokémon (if it was originally obtained in a different game, via an event, or via an in-game trade), he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. The Name Rater in Orre will also refuse to rename a Shadow Pokémon until it has been purified.
However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and secret IDs (which is extremely unlikely), he will allow name changes. In Generation V, both players must also have the same name and gender as well.
Additionally, in Generation I only, should player press End with no characters in nickname, the process will process as if player canceled nicknaming process, whereas in later games it will be treated as giving Pokémon the same nickname as before.
