    Have you ever been calling a Pokémon something else that is similar to its real name, but not really?
    Like, the most common thing i actually said while playing the Ruby Battle Tower, was "Aaargh!! Girafarlig!!!"("farlig" means "dangerous" in swedish...)
    Or "Aaaah! Pin[$%&@] <- I would provably be banned for life if i wrote that..." when i saw a Pinsir

    I also saw someone referring to PWNyta...

    Please tell me what you called what!

    Due to our mutual annoyance, my friend and I have renamed Bidoof "**** off". (I probably can't say that. lol)
    And sometimes we refer to Mewtwo as "Anal *****" so when we're fighting they know they're about to get ****ed in the ***. :D XD

    I use to call Rhyhorn Rhydon and Rhydon Rhyhorn.
    I also used to call ho-oh ho-ho and togetic togechic (although that one was because I only knew the johto [pokemon's japanese names at the time)

    Meh, not really. I've always referred to Pokémon the right way and I've always been too lazy to come up with another way of recognising them. I'm not sure if this is an exception, but may as well pretend it is. My friend used to call Clefable the one who came from the moon and eventually it caught on. I'm more likely to use his name for it than the actual way. Apart from that, no.

    Hahahaha Pwnyta :D

    I try to call them always the "right" way but there's some I think sound cooler as I say so I keep on calling them that . Like SCI - zor instead of sounding like scissor(s) . I think my way is cooler .

    I only named the ones that sucked some nickname and kept them in my storage bin in Gold/Silver and Blue/Red.

    Once, my friends and I was making Pokémon and I shouted 'Chickorita'.

    That was the only time, however.

    I used to call pokemon different names when I was much younger, although that was only because I didn't know how to properly pronounce them, so it's not like I made up completely random names. :P

    Luckily now (I think) I can pronounce all of the current pokemon. >_> If all else fails PBR is quite helpful for learning if I am pronouncing something horribly wrong, lol.

    I hate the time between Pidgey evolving into Pidgeotto and Pidgeotto evolving into Pidgeot.
    Simply because I want a Pidgeot right away and don't want to have to wait for it to evolve.
    Anyways, that's why I call Pidgeotto; "Pidgeot-Oh".

    Perhaps, when I younger, I did. Though, I can't stand not calling them by their official names, so I'll have to pick no.
    Really, I'm uncomfortable using any name other than the given.
