    By now, some of you may have played through the games and already caught many Pokémon. For now, I'm not interested in what your team is or how many you've caught; but what you've named them. Considering B/W has quite a diverse range of Pokémon, there are many nicknames you can come up with. Before you respond, be aware that there is a thread in Pokémon General Gaming, asking why you nickname Pokémon in general, if you want to discuss that, then do so in that thread - this thread is only based on what you've nicknamed certain B/W Pokémon. - or plan to nickname.

    Now, what are some of the most interesting names you've named your B/W Pokémon? Have you maybe called something a certain way because you dislike its Japanese name and you prefer the fan-made name? Or maybe another reason? If you haven't played the games, what do you plan to nickname certain Pokemon? Maybe call Victini "victory" because it represents that? Or are you planning to name certain Pokémon based on someone you know what you think represents that Pokémon? Alternatively, you could just give them a Syd nickname.

    80's. For the 80's disco. I havent caught one yet but I'm in the route I think they appear in.

    Clam. Look at the body.



    I also might make a joke team with themed names. One I made was a joke team of a bunch of Machamp. "We will", "Own You", "Because", "We", "Rock". It was a joke team with all the exact same stats and movesets. The sixth member of that team was "MACHAMP" the Hitmontop.

    Usually I name my Pokemon after my fanfic characters, but this time I might go for an anime/manga theme this time. Already named my Pokemon after Fullmetal Alchemist characters in Emerald, so I might go for Black Cat for B/W. Pretty much this is how I'll name my planned Pokemon team:

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Train, because he's the main character in Black Cat and this guy is my starter. :P

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Sven, only because of the Pokemon looking cool with glasses. :P

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Eve, because it's a pretty name and this Pokemon is pretty.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Jenos, because this Pokemon is very fierce.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Creed, only because this Pokemon looks crazy, haha.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Kyoko, because the character can use fire attacks, and this Pokemon is a fire type, so yeah. :P

    Lear
    Because he is royalty, and obviously a king, which reminds me of Shakespeare's King Lear. The ghost typing influences this also, not that Lear is ever a ghost but because of the themes of the entire play.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Megazord
    Named after Power Rangers! :D

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Nathaniel
    I had a hermit crab named Nathaniel, who was named after Nathaniel from War of the Worlds. I also had Beth and The Journalist, so if it was a girl it would be Beth, and I might just call it Journalist anyway.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Clockwork
    Obvious reasons, I would think.

    Terrorpin
    Because he's a turtle, but he is scary. :3

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Jellol
    Named after a fakemon I created; the two don't really share any features besides the fact they're jelly-like.

    Tsutarja: Ivyss (Sounds like Abyss and has ivy in it :) )
    Pokabu: Poka (short for Pokabu )
    Majimaru: Nami if it's a female (I want a female one) or Umi if Male (They both mean Sea in Japanese)

    Since, I have full team down. Nicknames have all been given to them, so now I will present these Five-letter nicknames.

    Jaroda = Smug- Everyone should know why he is named this.

    Hihidaruma = Poop- Look at the Pokedex information for Darumakka, then you will get it.

    Doryuuzu = DRILL- Originally I was supposed to have a Gigaiasu named GIGA, along with a other Pokemon named BREAK, so put those together and get GIGA DRILL BREAK.

    Abagora = Elder- Elder Turtle, not original blah blah blah.

    Denchura = 4Ever- Named this little girl after Forever, because Forever loves Denchura.

    Sazando = High- Little dumb name, the name is supposed to make fun that this guy evolves to his final stage at Level 64.

    Hmm...as of right now, here are my planned nicknames for some Generation V Pokemon:

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Enbuoo - Razorback. Alternate name for a boar. I decided on this and finalized it long ago when Pokabu was first revealed.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Daikenki - I'm still undecided. Maybe Samurotter or Daikenki...

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Jaroda - Poison Ivy (Poison implies a threat, and ivy...is ivy, I guess.)


    Monkey trio - Oakey, Soakey, and Smokey. They sound so cute! :) Courtesy of BleuVII

    Might nickname the garbage Pokemon Garbagiga, still undecided... Courtesy of #Emochu.

    Here some other names I might use should they not turn out as actual English names:

    fenyx4 said:
    I've been browsing one of the Bulbagarden threads, and came across these proposed English names (I'm limiting myself from most of the Pokemon, so I can't post their Japanese names. But they shouldn't be too hard to figure out...)

    Baboom - fire monkey (Hihidaruma or pre-evo)
    Orangubang - fire monkey (Hihidaruma or pre-evo)
    Arachtric - electric spider (Denchura or pre-evo)
    Thorantula -     electric spider (Denchura)
    Crocodune     - ground gator/croc (Meguroko)
    Sarcophaghoul     - sarcophagus (Desukan)

    I would LOL if I ever heard a Pokemon Stadium announcer say "It's ORANGUBANG!" It's very fun to say as well! :cer_laugh:

    Sarcophaghoul seems to exceed the current 10-character name limit; the only alternatives I can develop would be Sarcofagul or Sarcophagl... But those detract a bit from the original awesomeness of "Sarcophaghoul"...


    Here's the aforementioned Bulbagarden thread:

    Iront/Aianto - possibly Antantium. Courtesy of elarmasecreta.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Kirikizan - possibly Huricanger/Huracanger (reference to Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger). Always wanted to use that name in some context.

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Crimgan - possibly SkulDrache (means 'skull dragon', as it seems to have rib-like structures on its abdomen).

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Emonga - possibly Sparky

    What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

    Ononokusu - Battle-Axe or Axehead; most likely the first one due to the axe-shaped tusks. Something with the word "axe" in it, for sure.

    Not nicknaming any of the legendaries, AFAIK right now.


    ~LOL at the thread title reference...!
