Naming Hackmon

[~Magnus~]

How does everyone make up the names for Hacked Pokemon? Anything will help right now...I never see creative names like the first gen had (Horse + Sea = Horsea, a horse from the sea) which is clever

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Maybe they check how sprite looks and then something will pop up in their minds

When I make up names for my hacked Pokémon, I usually take a few words, that's got something to do with the Pokémon, I've "created", in one way or another. To give a few examples:

"Dolphreeze", a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon based on a dolphin. (Dolphin + Freeze)
"Chimtsu", a dual-type Normal/Fighting Pokémon based on a Chimpanzee. (Chimpanzee + Ninjutsu)
"Canbur", a Fire-type Pokémon based on a candle. (Candle + Burn)
"Psyclord", a dual-type Ghost/Psychic Pokémon based on a sort of cyclops. (Psychic + Cyclops + Lord)

Naming them is based on their Type/Culture/Nature and Origin. It depends on it.

It depends on what it is based on. For example, I made a Electric Eel Pokemon and named it Eelock (Eel + Shock.) So yeah, for me, it depends on what it's based on. XD

 

[Shasjas]

think of some words to do with its type, appearance, nature
and sort of put them together

 

[Zwölf]

not sure about this one . hmm maybe you could do some language translations to make it authentic

 

[Timbjerr]

I like to find scientific or archaic words related to the fakemon's basis and make a simple portmanteau with another word that relates to its typing or abilities.

Of the fakemon names I've created in my mind, my favorite is "Capcinerate", a portmanteau of "capsicum" and "incinerate" for a fire/grass jalapeno pokemon.

 

[AvoKitty]

I'd probably name them based on their base pokemon what they do/type:
scarangoo: Kangaroo + Scary(ghost)

Yeah pretty sure the thread maker doesn't need naming help anymore. ;x
