Pokèmon Nicknames

[pluginbaby]

I nickname every pokèmaaan on my team, and I wonder how many other people do the same.

Do you nickname your Pokèmon? If you do, what are your favorite ones? Are they silly, clever, inappropriate, or just plain cute?

[ilcarciofo]

I usually nickname everything. Some Pokemon have the same name no matter what game I'm playing; Feraligator is Rio, Typhlosion is Rufus, Alakazam is Niluk, Charizard is Charlemane, etc.

Probably my favorite name/Pokemon combo is Adagio (musical term meaning a slower tempo) for Slowpoke.

I used to nickname every pokemon I got its name but not all uppercase [ie. Bulbasaur instead of BULBASAUR AAARGH] and I'd name my team pokemon stupid names that had to do with their species name [ie. Bulbasaur = Bulba] but starting with soulsilver I nicknamed my pokemon cool, meaningful Greek primordial god names :3 /nerdy
oh and I always nickname Ponytas Ponytime! after a local band that has since broken up, and Tentacools Acooltent after some trainer in Pokemon Stadium had all his pokemon nicknamed like that, with the last part in front and my sister and I thought "ACOOLTENT" was the funniest thing evar.

I give my pokemon cutesy nickames, like:

Ampharos = Lady Pha Pha

Mudkip = MuddyBuddy

Plusle & Minun = Bonnie & Benny

Delcatty = Mrs. Jingles

Sandshrew = Mr. Snuggles


and TONS more. :3

I've been trying to name them more and more, but my favorite three don't have names :3 Jolteon, Jirachi and Absol.

I do have:
Togekiss - Meringue (Get it.. like egg whites?)
Typhlosion - Sirius (Greek for "burning," dog star, and Harry Potter)
Azumarill - Bubbles (:3)
Manectric - Sparky
Swalot - Nomnom
Swampert - Kip (Just because she was female, and I felt bad having a female "Swampert")

I feel like some of them just suffered from a complete lack of creativity

[regencypokemon]

I tend to pick a naming theme for each game. Usually food. And usually fruits or desserts.

Zigzagoon - Macaroon
Geodude - RockCandy
Abra - Twinkie

I've always insisted on giving nicknames to Pokemon that I have any intention of actually using. As a result, some of them are pretty ridiculous.

Feraligatr: Garrison
Magmortar: Horace
Mismagius: Zuleika
Ampharos: Victoria
Omastar: Curly Pete
Tyranitar: Bromulus
Relicanth: Creed (because he looks like Creed from The Office, doesn't he?)
Igglybuff: Wooby
Mightyena: Mercutio
Luvdisc: ♥♥♥♥

When I was breeding Eevees, I named them Voltjohn, Flarebob, Espernie, and Umbrelton so I'd know which stones to use on them. Flarebob still hasn't evolved D: And I named my Krabby "Swissknife" after I turned him into an HM mule.

Sirius is a pretty clever name for Typhlosion I gotta say!

It's always fun to NN Pokemon, since my Pokemon will generally be seen on Youtube anyways. Here's a list of them:

Swampert: "ULiekMeh"
Tyranitar: "Earthbound"
Heatran: "Vesuvius"
Scizor: "Bushido"
Uxie: "Mynx"

And as for one of my new Pokemons ~

Pokebu: "WTHeo"
Tanappu: "Apeshit"

All those names are impossible to nickname to your Pokemon since each and every one of them bypass 10 characters. You lie! Unless those names above aren't really how you spell them.... AHAHAHAHAHA.

I used to give my Pokemon really weird names back in the day, but when I started playing Yellow again in the summer, I caught a Krabby and nicknamed it Krbyptyzz.

How care you accuse me of lying, Ben10!
If you take out the spaces and punctuation it's "LadyPhaPha" and "MrsJingles" etc. So my nicknames are still real and kickass.
