    ZiZi the Zigzagoon

    That's my Porygon-Z's name. :/

    Ummm...

    Calvary the Empoleon: I was reminded of the calvary. She's a girl! :D
    Rayleigh and Riley the Lucario: Riley's obvious, and Rayleigh is for all my female Lucario. O.O
    Hikari the Blaziken: Why not name her this?
    DeathsDoor the Darkrai: Yeah, yeah. I'm horrible, but doesn't the name fit? ^^;

    I'll think of more. My brain's not in tonight. xD

    Oh!

    Balthasar and Beatrice the twin Glaceon and Leafeon(respecitvely): Just cause I love those names...and they're fraternal twins. :D

    Empoleon: Enchantrix
    I had wanted to use this one for a long time. Enchantrix is my starter.

    Lucario: Lyla
    Pronounced LEE-La, I got this name from Cocorosie song, called Lyla.

    Staraptor: Steelbeak
    The tip of his beak was gray.

    Luxray: Spynx
    I misspelled sphinx, but I guess it looks okay. Right?

    Heatran: Kalshazzak
    Going against my policy of not naming stuff with book names, Heatran fit the description of the demon, Kalshazzak, from the first Harry Dresden book, Storm Front.

    Giratina: Diablo
    I'm pretty sure it means devil in Spanish.

    Grovyle: Malawissa
    In a book I read (The Waterstone) 'Malawissa' meant a tree that stood strong and tall in a storm.

    Feraligatr: Rainstorm

    My nicknames

    Hi!

    Here are some nicknames I've used for my Pokémon:

    LG party Pokémon-

    M2 (Mewtwo)- Named after the M2 Bind from Pokemon Special
    Dragon (Charizard)- Because Charizard can learn Dragon-type moves
    SPEEDY (female Venusaur)- My first Venusaur was quite fast so I named this one SPEEDY thinking that she would be fast too.

    Pearl party Pokémon

    Red (Gyarados)- Named after Red from Pokemon Special, of course! :D
    Leafy*heart icon* (Torterra)- Simply because it's a Grass-type. It sounds more suitable for a Bulbasaur though.
    Space (Palkia)- Palkia is the deity of space and I really couldn't think of anythind else XD.
    Tara (Staraptor)- All the evos in this line have "star" in their name and the Hindi word for star is tara.

    That's about it! Pretty lame, huh?

    Lip - Lotad - That huge lip SCARES me!
    Dit - Ditto - Uhh... Yeah...
    Kip - Marshtomp - Sounds cute! :3
    Mush - Igglybuff - Well, it is the Marshmellow pokemon.
    Eclipse - Darkrai - I just had to name it this. I love it!
    Star - Ralts - Ralts backwards is Stlar. Take out the l, and you get Star. Stellar would've worked too, but I didn't like the sound of it...

    Soo.. Yeah.. I like short, cute names that you can say so fast it sounds even cuter.
