How do I name my Pokemon in Pokemon Go?

[iMore Question]

Is this even something that is possible to do? I would like to name my Pokemon, how do I do that?

Welcome to iMore!

You can use the pen icon next to the Pok?mon name to rename it. I named this one after one of my favorite iMore people.

you can assign nicknames to your pokemon. You can select the pokemon, and then enter a nickname for the pokemon at the name slot.
