Fitting Nicknames Part 1: Kanto (001-151)

I have decided to take this undertaking as a challenge to myself. I am terrible at coming up with nicknames for my Pokemon, and I think that this could help me with that (that and I realized how fun it is to nickname them in my recent playthrough of Moon). For this, I will be covering this by evolutionary family (Charmander, Chameleon, and Charizard as one name, for instance, since most people stick with one nickname), and breaking this into pieces based on origin region. Regional variants will be included in their regions' sections, and Meltan and Melmetal will be included with the Alola region's portion. While I will try to go gender neutral, some might be for one gender or the other, and a reason will be given as well (and hopefully without any repetition). Without further ado, here's the first 151.

And that wraps up the first 151. At this point in time, I'd like to see what other nicknames anyone reading this came up with in the comments section here, and I'll make sure to mention them at the end of the Johto Pokemon (or where they'll be applicable for anything beyond #251).
