6th Gen What did you nickname your pokemon?

Me: Matthias
Nickname: Matt

Greninja is called Froakie. [I disliked the German names of the Pokémon and the evolutions so I just nicknamed it after the English name.]
Ivysaur is called YoloSwagger. [My friends suggested it. lol]

But that's actually it, because the rest of my team I traded so I can't nickname them.


-- Matt

My Delphox is called Magical Gift, Azumarill is called Blueberry, Pidgeot is named Sand Kicker, Gogoat is named Lucy, Aurorus is Amane and Lucario is Auron.

I know Amane is a girl's name, but I couldn't pass it up even though my Aurorus is male. I just picked a random Final Fantasy name for Lucario.

The only other Pokemon I nicknamed is Wish, the female Hidden Ability Eevee.

I have Chester the Chesnaught, but that doesn't count because I got him in a in-game trade.

Named all of my favorite pokemons into League of Legend champions :)

i tend to name my pokemon after people lol

Delphox was Cosmo, based off my favorite streamer
Blastoise was Dyna; based from my fire red
Aurorus was Paprika for no peculiar reason
Sylveon was Shmoopy, based off my friend's nickname
and my last was Lucas my Lucario

I usally nickname the pokemon i plan to use. And are usally named after game or movie characters. Sometimes myths or a name that relates to what animal they look like/similar to.

My pokemon nicknames:

Furfrou: Georgette(Name if from the character poodle Georgette form the Disney movie Oliver and Company. I thought it was fitting as furfrous are super pamperd in pokemon and Georgette was a spoiled pamper poodle.)

Pangoro: Poe(Kung Fu Panda....)

Noivern: Norbert(Norbert aka Norberta of Harry Potter)

Houdoom: Flint(...Nothing lol was the first thing that poped in my head when i named him)

I have others but these are my main pokemon on my team atm so... yeah.

welp so far it's:

ivysaur - bulbango
pancham - Madpanda
inkay - inkidink
braizen - fen'yo
eevee - boomboom

i also had a fletching named floopfoop and a zigzagoon named fabulous

I usually don't nickname my Pokémon, but decided to do it this time around. (: I've named my Pikachu "Elecouse," a combination of the words electric and mouse. My Blaziken—I've named it "Firghter." It's a mixture of fire and fighter. Not very original, but hey, at least it's a bit creative! And finally, I've named my Scizor "Rebuissor," a mash-up of red, bug, and scissor.

In my X Team I have:
• Sophie - female Mienshao [nicknamed from Meerkat Manor]
• Mozart - male Watchog [nicknamed from Meerkat Manor]
• Tosca - female Linoone [nicknamed from Meerkat Manor]
• Xandra - female Pyroar [nicknamed from online comic]
• Milo - male Meowstic [nicknamed from movie "Milo & Otis"]
• Flowers - female Floatzel [nicknamed from Meerkat Manor]

almost forgot: my starter in X was Zaphod the Chespin [nicknamed from Meerkat Manor] but I left it on the PC once I caught Mozart on route 15.

Now that I have my Y team started, I have:
[note: nicknames are in Katakana - since I"m playing the game in Japanese]
• Todd [ﾄｰﾄﾞｰ] - male Fennekin [nicknamed from Beavis & Butthead]
• Castor [ｶｽﾄｰﾙ] - male Bidoof [nickname is Spanish for beaver]
• Sakura [ｻｸﾗ] - female Zigzagoon [nickname I heard that name somewhere]
Restarted Y team - and decided to stay with English... next post has the nicknames

Trainer: Scarlett
It's a French girl name meaning red, where Pokemon all began and my version is the red one, Y.

Starter: Colette the Chesnaught
She was female on my first try, so I did not have a nickname planned. Since I started my Sapphire version as Nicole and my female (first try) Treecko as Scarlet, I switched the two up. Colette is another variant of Nicole then, which means victory.

Team Members:
Terry the Talonflame, after my uncle who passed away shortly before XY's launch.
Lulu the Florges, named after Luke because he bought Y for me and wanted to be a Fairy type.
Devona the Dragalge, a French girl name meaning divine.
Sybille the Delphox, a French girl name meaning prophetess.

Trainer: Trinity nicknamed Twinki *female*
Greninja: Prince *male*
Venusaur: Venus *male*
Mewtwo: Tokyo MewMew *male*
Pidgeot: Ace *male*
Combusken: I would name it Blaze but I can't nickname it because I got it from the special event. *male*
Tyrantrum: Tyri *female*

Btw I've already beaten the game, for those of you who don't have it yet, it's a great game! :)

Espeon: Ella (fem)
Charizard: Nitro (male)
Vaporeon: Mark (male)
Linoone: Michelle (fem)
Magneton: HowItWorks

I'm going to find Sandslash (male) and name him Bloodshot.

i based my pokemon off the trojan war because... well it's the trojan war.

greninja - hector: named after the greatest trojan warrior in the trojan war.
tyrantrum - aias: the strongest achaean fighter, described as being rather colossal in size.
aegislash - aegis: zeus' shield or buckler.
lucario - heracles: the greatest of greek heroes.
meowstic - psyche: goddess of the soul. although i plan to rename her athena, as it seems to fit in more with my team.
blaziken - achilles: would have been, if not for the fact that he is an event pokemon, making nicknaming impossible. achilles is the greatest warrior in the iliad.
venusaur - odysseus: master mariner and soldier. although thinking about it now, a more appropriate nickname for venusaur would be apollo.
lapras - xanthos: zeus' talking horse lol

Here are some of the nicknames I gave my Pokemon:

Chesnaught - Espada (had wanted to name him Spike but the game wouldn't allow me :()
Blastoise - Kamblast
Meowstic - Feraldine (probably my favorite out of them all)
Aegislash - Soul Calibur (so glad it was able to fit!)
Scrafty - Yakuzed
Malamar - Krakrau
Salamence - Bertha
Alakazam - Merlin (obvious)

I tried not nicknaming the new Pokemon as much because I wanted to learn their names.

I don't generally nickname my Pokemon, but I named my Fennekin "Foxtrot" and my Xerneas "Xen". :)

Espeon - Trjegul
Sylveon - Bygul
(Espeon and Sylveon are named for the Norse goddess Freyja's cats, though Sylveon is more canine than feline)
Blastoise - Cowabunga (Ninja Turtles~)
Goodra - Jabberwock
Charizard - Francis (as in Francis Drake)
Ninetales - Asher (male) Le Fay (female)
Noivern - Bruce

That's all I can remember at the top of my head. Clearly I don't put too much thought into these lol.

My liteleo/pryroar Regulus, after the brightest star in the leo consstellation. All of my other Pokemon have ridiculous names. My Absol is named Abby, as usual, and my croagunk is named Biohazard, which is actually kinda cool.

I often use nicknames with a single vowel and consonants at the end: Tyrantrum, Trenks; Greninja, Grenj; Charizard, Chazrn; Pangoro, Grondl.

Current team

Greninja (m) - Touken
Talonflame (m) - Portgas
Aurorus (f) - Shirafune
Sylveon (f) - Mavis
Goodra (f) - Squidgy
Mewtwo - #notsorry

I actually have never Nicknamed any of my pokemon ever in my life until recently where I changed the name of my IV breeding pairs to "IV".

Since I restarted my Y team, here is the nicknames - as of Nov 11th:

• Renard, male Fennekin (level 14) - I got from the French word for fox

• Castor, male Bidoof (level 11) - castor is Spanish for beaver

• Tosca, female Zigzagoon (level 11) - nicknamed from Meerkat Manor

• Danny, male Riolu (level 13) - nicknamed after my real life nickname
