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 of the Pokémon games to rename their Pokémon as long as they weren't received in a trade or migrated. The Name Rater encountered in Orre will also refuse to rename a Shadow Pokémon until it has been purified.
If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it.
If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade (or migrated from GBA games), he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and secret IDs (which is extremely unlikely), he will allow name changes. In addition to this, an event Pokémon can be renamed if its visible ID matches the player's Trainer ID.
Locations
Pokémon Name Raters can be found in the following locations:
- Lavender Town in Kanto
- Goldenrod City in Johto
- Slateport City in Hoenn
- Agate Village in Orre
- Eterna City in Sinnoh

Trivia
- In every game starting with Pokémon Crystal, if the player chooses to name the Pokémon the same name as before, the Name Rater will exclaim "It looks the same, yet it is vastly superior!"
- In each game, the Name Rater will greet the player with "Hello, hello!"
