Another naming question

Probably this has come up before I haven't seen it since i started paying attention to the community at large (mostly here) about 8 weeks ago. When we rename Pokemon how do they show up in gyms for others, with the default name or new one? I've been solo after the first month. So i never could test it. I use symbols and they show for me with symbols. I'm guessing it's the default name but would like to know for sure

Thanks. I hadn't seen anything that wasn't.. I'm in a semi active suburban area. Not that many different people in gyms though, and I hadn't started renaming till the Halloween event. It always amazes me the kinds of things that seem obvious in games to me but are missed by others or vice versa.

Hey Red, early on could we see other peoples nicknames? Maybe I'm tripping but I could have sworn early on in the game you could.

Though admittedly, it might have just been me looking at my friends and gf's phones as we were taking gyms together and seeing their mons. HMM.

I'm not sure, I never went to a gym for quite awhile. Maybe lvl 25, I just looked at their amazingly high cp that I thought was impossible. I assumed you could see names for a long time even after. I wondered why nobody named their mons.

Default. There was a bug though that sometimes if the game was unable to read the name of the trainer for whatever reason in a gym it would display the name a trainer had given to their Pokémon. I don't remember exactly how it worked but it was possible to see something else than the default name explaining why some people claim to have seen something other than the default name. Generally however you will just see the default name.
