Have you ever called a Pokémon something else?

i used to pronounce suicune "su-e-sign" for some reason and when i first watched pokemon i thought pikachu was actually called pokemon

i hate it when they call pokemon pokeman

OMG!! my mom calls it that. it gets on my nerves. Once i put Pokemon into a japanese name translator and it did come out as Pokeman but my mom was doing it as to make fun of it.

I rarely rename Pokemon and often just refer to them by different names, and such. For example, me and a friend refer to Vaporeon as 'Vapi' and Swampert as 'Swampy'. Vapi because its kind of their signature Pokemon... usually always there, in the team. XD Jolteon usually gets referred to as 'Jolty', too.

Anyway, as for the speaking of a Pokemon's name... there was one I used to say all the time that turned out to be, officially incorrect... can't think of it, though... but I do recall saying Scizor's name wrong. OH! Linoone, as well! I didn't start it as you'd say 'Line', which I eventually found to be the 'official' correct way of saying it.

There are probably more that I pronounced incorrectly, such as Girafarig, (which I did) but I can't think of any... others. XD

Hariyama. I used to call him "Hairy Mama"! lol

Same, haha. That was only three years ago too.. Wow.

 

[Queen]

I used to call Zapdos
Zap-Tos

 

[Kamakazai]

For the longest time I thought Pigieotto was that final form and Pigieot was the middle form. I also sometimes reffer to Bidoof as Doofus

Or when a parent says while seeing Ash, "Is he the Pokéman?". XD

I VERY rarely give a pokemon a nickname... I used to a little more often when I was younger, but the only current nickname I can remember is for my Shinx. (now and forever a luxio) I nicknamed it Shanx :D. That name was just too amazing to ignore lol.

 

[deliriouspurple]

I used to call CHansey 'chansing' but now not.

 

[JezzaRules]

Called a Pineco "Kungidama" (it's japanese name) coz I didn't know the english name for it at that time.

I called Porygon, Polygon for so many years!! Infact, I only found out it was Porygon last year o_O

 

[Sonido]

I used to pronounce Rayquaza as Ray-ku-za and Kyorge as Kray-o-grey

 

[Broken.Promise.]

Real pronunciation:

Mine:
Ar- tick- you- no
Emphasis on the tick. :P

Moltres was said Molters.. yes I had no grasp of Spanish :P

Back before D/P was released in the US, I only knew the 4th gen Pokémon by their Japanese names from watching the first few episodes of the newer seasons, so my friends became quite confused when I said "Pocchama is the new water starter and it looks almost like a penguin."

I still call Smeargle "Smeagol" because it's funny to think of a LoTR character who finds himself completely out of place by participating in a Pokémon battle. I still refer to Bidoof as "piece of crap that little kids think they can put on the GTS to get legendaries."

Off-Topic: I've found that by naming your worthless GTS Pokémon ridiculous names, you might actually get something for it. I once named a Bibarel "Gonorrhea" and actually got what I wanted. :shocked:

 

[ShinjisLover]

I kept calling Heatran "Heartan" for like. . A month. XD

 

[Micro]

I don't know why, but I call Chinglings dust buddies..And I call the geodude evolution like freakin stone monsters...

 

[Blue_Drifblim]

I... used to call Lugia "Luigi".
