Balls (Emolga)
Heh, I actually called an Emolga I caught on Manly Pink something really similar. I was kind of annoyed since it took 10 balls to catch the bloody thing, despite it being really low on health, so I named it "10 balls".

For the record, nothing wrong with naming 'em after fruit. Vegetables too, I named a Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir "Cabbage". Don't tell me you can't see the resemblance in that hair-like stuff.

Best: Froslass; Madotsuki. This is a reference to Madotsuki's yuki-onna effect in Yume Nikki.
Worst: Quilava; sporty. This was on Crystal — a decade ago. The name itself isn't terribly egregious, but if I recall correctly, I put a space after every letter.

Jackal: Lucario (Im going to name her kid jekyle, just watch me)
Mistletoe: Serperior

And my moments of no brilliance whatsoever. (but i still kinda like some)

Ten: Misdreavus, no not like the number, it just felt fitting, but not very creative :P

My best would be naming my Conkledurr Swanson, after the manly man Ron Swanson of Parks and Rec.

As for worst, I guess Dynamo the Arcanine.

Well, I remember naming my Swellow "Hybird" as a six-year old. But that was then. Before I knew about Base Stats.

Recently, it's been pretty much this:

Ayato the Metagross
Rembrandt the Gallade
Kenage the Salamence
Ononoko the Haxorus
Rekka the Chandelure
Odaya the Tyranitar
Kanoshi the Empoleon

I'm Japanese, so I gave you the Romaji.

I name my Gallades "Rembrandt" because it just seems so fitting.

Mankey/Primeape-Balboa
Empoleon-Napoleon
Sphinx-Simba/Nala
Swanna-Odette
Lillipup/Herdier/Stoutland-Azor
Altaria-Claudius/Claudia

You just made my day, Da_Man32.

I once named everything I catch related to fictional characters in my White playthrough, from another series or from my OCs. It's not just random either, since I consider the Pokemon and the character I'm referencing. Some of my favourites are:

Springday the Musharna (Named after Suzumiya Haruhi, since 'haru' = spring, and Munna has flowers on its body. I was going to blatantly name Munna Haruhi, but mine was a guy, so I had to compromise. It turned out pretty nice for a name.)

Faraday the Zebstrika (It was Faraway at first, since zebra = horse = run long distances. However, I thought it didn't feel like a name after a while, so I slightly changed it. The character I was referencing before the change is May/Haruka from Pokemon, but it ended up being Kay Faraday from Ace Attorney Investigations. So, double reference!)

Simon the Excadrill (Ha ha, do I even need to explain just who the hell this guy is referencing? This name is simple and might be boring to some, but I sure do love me some TTGL references.)

Honorable mentions:
Adam the Samurott (Revolver Ocelot from M-M-M-Metal Gear, since I didn't want to be boring and just use Ocelot)
Lynne the Lilligant (Lynne from Ghost Trick, due to the gender and the flower on her head)
Hinawa/Mothman the Volcarona (Hinawa from MOTHER3, Mothman from Devil Survivor/SMT; the name depends whether Volcarona is a girl or a guy)

I think before I started seriously naming my Pokemon, I had some pretty stupid names, what with age and all. The worst of my nicknames has to be Fly the Starly. Thank god I lost my Pearl, but ugh...

I quite like giving mine either really posh sounding names or completely normal names.
Growlithe - Tyrian
Bulbasaur - Pete (She's actually a girl, I named her without actually looking at her gender :/)
Machop - Tyrell
Rattata - Giles
Pikachu - Alonso
Pidgey - Melvin

That's a few of them. I have quite a few more but I won't go through all of them.

Hi there Omegalpha234- welcome to PC! Unfortunately, it's against the rules to bump threads over a month old, and this one hasn't been posted in for two years. If you're looking to talk about your Pokemon's nicknames, try this thread over in Pokemon Gaming Central. Thanks!
