Okay here it is, your default button!
This one looks a bit weirder though
Yes, it might not be the most frequent issue as PkmnTrainerV stated, but I know it won't certainly take long to code if you can find the species after nicknaming. As some people here might not even know that you can un-nickname a pokemon by nicknaming it nothing. There isn't a wiki article on nicknaming so I see a minor update for a default button to answer most people questions to be pretty useful.
Don't want to read down? Here is a post I made that I would hope convince you:
Show
hidden content
So I tested it out, though I'm doing
touchscreen on my chromebook so its bigger, making a default button
would make it a little more safer and a little bit quicker for
mobile users. Knowing that they have to backspace with their
touchscreen keyboard + press the update button somehow not touching
the release button (I was really close touching it). Making a
default button would certainly help in my opinion with it. Also
isn't the whole point of the wiki so people don't have to answer
questions frequently, shouldn't adding a default button put less on
the plate for the help page mods?
Also if your just going to say this is not useful, can you describe what will make it more useful to you and any other people that you know that have problems about nicknaming?
People often think the PH sprites are bland. Do they shade? Well, yes they do. You'll be surprised how much care is taken for these sprites.

Currently neutral on the support, leaning towards no support, since not many people name their Scatterbug ‘Scatterbug’ or something like that.

Here's an example:
You got a shiny pikachu, you wanted to name it something so you name it plump mouse, but you kinda hate the nickname and you want it to be default. Though when you try to name it pikachu again it acts like its already been nicknamed. Though a default button may be better as some people may want to name their pikachu pikachu so when it evolves its a raichu with a nickname of pikachu. (i've seen a few people that do that, it's pretty weird.)
It doesn't have to be common enough that Riako would need to update it, I mean he literally has a thread for minor updates, do you think all of them are, "common"? I mean heck, one of them was putting skrelp in Emera beach, do you think a lot of people were complaining?

Also to whoever the person that said this wasn't well explained, can you please explain to me what should I do to make it more understandable

Literally the only thing you have to do to get rid of a Nickname is by deleting it and updating it with no characters in the Nickname... back to the species name... It really isn't too complicated. I'm sure if someone wasn't aware of this they could figure it out.

Also, why is half of the main post in strike throughs?

How is a button that makes the nickname nothing so there is no nickname useless, it's like saying putting a emera fountain in the town tab is useless. Its a minor suggestion that can only take like 1 minute, and can help newbies that don't not know this? Not mentioning that it can encourage nicknaming among mobile users.

The thing is, it's not worth the extra work (because I'm sure it will take more than a minute to code) when there's a button on everyone's keyboard that does the same thing as the button that's being suggested.
I'm sure there are new users that don't know that deleting the nickname restores it to the Pokemon's original name, but it's not a stretch to work it out either. And I'm sure if it really does bother them, they'll ask someone.

-the first looks dangerous, someone is going to try resetting to default and releasing a shiny pokemon
-the second looks weird

Adding on, if you're new and want to know how to reset a nickname, asking is very easy! Just put it in a feed or the help forum and someone will gladly tell you that all you have to do is clear the box and hit enter

As I was wondering how hard is it to nickname if touchscreen I'll try it out.

It's not that hard to remove all the characters on a Pokémon to give it the default name of it's species. Don't see why we need an entire new button for a few simple clicks, like mostly everyone has said.

I use mobile like, 80% of the time, and it's harder than you think to accidentally release a Pokémon. You could put it on your battle team so it can't be released, or you could turn safe mode on, of course - that way there's a popup when you go to release a Pokémon. It's not tortuous.

It's basically useless, just put 0 characters in it and wa-la. Its name is normal, lol

There's already a lot of points, along with explanations from other people, as to why this won't gain any of my support.
