5th Gen What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

[Garringman]

Hm let's see now

Grapevine no clue where the name came from but I used it on my japanese Jalorda and I'm gonna use it on this one

Boargatoy the Purgatory of the Boar

Searial I wanted to have Sea and Spiral in his name but it didn't work out without me switching the letters around

Baryovial based from the Baryonyx and the Gavial both of which seem to be inspiration for Waruvial

This thing could break into peoples worst Nightmare's if he wants to

Judgement I have less of a reason for this name than I do for getting a Jalorda and naming Grapevine

Spirit just has that spiritual feel to it

Katana it can slice things with almost any part of it's body and I simply love that

Shaft end of story if you get it you get it

 

[ManhattanTheStarr]

Lots of people seem to use Lady Gaga for these three, lmao.
But names that I see fit would be something like Lollipop. :P

I'm sure almost everyone will use Porky for Pokabu... and I was going to too, but I think Hammy looks better, especially for Pokabu's second evolution (which I previously hated ><)

The only name that I think fits these Pokemon is Violet. It just...looks right. ^^'

Oh how I adore this line...<3 Rugby seems to be the best name for them, IMO. :3

Omgomgomgomgomg, the best Grass type in Gen 5~
I don't know why, but when I see this Pokemon, I automatically think...Caramel. <3

A name that best fits this line for me is definitely Ebony. It looks good on them. :>

<33333333333 Freakin... AWESOME.
ANYWAYS, the best name for them would be, like...Velma or something, lmao.
It's just that when I look at the final evolution, Velma is what comes to mind. x3

And those are the nicknames I see that fit best for my favorite 5th gen pokes. :>

 

[JP]

Well lets see,

I named this guy Drago. I think it's obvious why.

Feu, which is "fire" in French.

Daru, just seemed to fit considering it's in its Japanese name.

Darko, it's a Dark type...Darko sounded cool haha.

Tryda, which is a word in a different language... I can't remember which word nor the language. XD What I did for quite a few of my Pokemon is used a word that represents them in some way and translated it into a different language.

Named this one Pooh, from Winnie the Pooh haha.

Dreko, part of "Dragon" in another language.

Vaerg, if I remember right that was "Guardian" in another language.

Heima, which is "at home" in Icelandic. For some reason, reminded me of Iceland and Sigur Ros, and I thought it'd be a suitable name. :P

Zebua, a bit of a reworked version of it's name's first few letters in Japanese, thought it sounded cool.
--------
There's quite a few others but I don't feel like listing them all. :P

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I'm naming my Ononokuso Drake after the E4 member of Hoenn and it's also dragon in a another language(I think German or some sort of Northern Europe language).

 

[Astinus]

I've nicknamed all my Pokemon in Black, and I'll go through a few that I can explain.

Like "Penny" the Shimama. I nicknamed her that because of her Electric typing, and if she was male, I would have named her "Bolt". Since she's female, I went with a female character from the same movie, and so Penny.

There's also my Dageki, named "Blue". That was the only name I could think of at the time, because of its skin color. Then I realized that Dageki looks like my manager at work, so I'm going to change Blue's nickname to match my manager.

When I get White in English, my Pokemon are going to have the nicknames that I give my main Pokemon on all my games since FireRed. "Andrew" for my Mijumaru, "Ender" for my Tsutarja, and "Angel" for my Meguroco. It's just something that I do, and I don't plan on changing that tradition. I don't know about the rest of my team, but those three are planned on being on it.

 

[fenyx4]

On second thought, I'm probably going to nickname my Crimgan Nemesis rather than Skuldrache. I wish it had the stats to support that claim, though... :\

 

[mrunner4home]

well I don't nickname my pokemon anymore (I used to name that real names. ie Tobias, Mark, Alice, Frank, etc)

but I have ideas for some of the gen 5 pokemon.

Masharna can be Mrs. Potts

Gigaiath

can be Gaston

Iwaparesu is Lefou

Gigigear is Cogsworth

Shandera is Lumiere

Crimgan can be Prince Adam

Kenhorou can be Belle

and Doryuuzu is Chip

:)

EDIT:
most of the pics don't show...

 

[Percy's Gadzooks]

If I ever used a Rankurusu (Jelly Poke) I would name it Neuron because it's a psychic type and appearance-wise. That would be the only reason why I would get one.

 

[Devil Flamingo]

My Janoby (m) is called Kzaär, my Munna is called Smoök, and my Monmen is called Köttn (should be Köttön but the stupid JP game only allows 5 letters).

They're all named after words in my conlang, namely "king", "smoke" and "cotton", respectively. :3

 

[King Gumball]

Wait so there is only a max of 5 letter?! I really hope there will be more allowed in the English version. Gosh that cancels out loads of nicknames people would want to give to their pokemon.

 

[Arc]

Only in the Japanese Version, since the Japanese don't need alot of characters unlike the English language. It will most likely be boosted limit of 10 characters or whatever the limit it was in the past games.

 

[Emonga]

I named my grass starter Sam.

I hope there is more then there was in the last games becuase I can never spell my whole name.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

ah that a relief I was beginning to wonder why only 5 letters, but yeah the japanese use less than we do as their words work differently.

 

[Porygon Z]

My actual team nicknames are...

Drake - Sazandora
Bruce - Hitmonlee
Rocky - Gigaiath
ElBug - Denchura
Eddy - Swampert
EvilS - Shanderaa

Drake: Reminds me the Orange Islands guy.
Bruce: Obviously, Bruce Lee. <3
Rocky: ADRIANAAAAA! :D
ElBug: Electric Bug.
Eddy: My old Emerald starter!
EvilS: Evil Shanderaa.

 

[#Emochu]

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

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

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

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:

Iront/Aianto - possibly Antantium. Courtesy of elarmasecreta.

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

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

Emonga - possibly Sparky

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...!

Thanks for using my idea :)

I name most of my Pokes after Fighting game characters.

Futachimaru:Pit from SSBB but I'll change his name and give it to Zuruggu

Koromori: Cupid because hes that flying dude who makes people fall in love and it says in Kokoromori's dex entry that it makes people happy.

Kirkizan: Vega, a guy with a Talon claw thingy from Streetfighter.

Sazandora: Jason from Jason and the Arganauts(sp?) I think he killed a Hydra.

 

[bigtukker]

So I got five Pokemon until now and one of them is a Monmen from a trade so I couldn't name that one

I got a Fuchimijaru which I named Garca to Sergeant Garcia from Zorro

I got a Baoppu named Bacon

A Koromori named Rugby

And a Harderrier called BlDog (5char limit sucks :P)

 

[MEGAS]

<<Exactly, the only Poke that I nickname and I nickname it "Sexy". XD

 

[yuki1406]

Well, I don't own the game yet, but already chose some nicknames (at my sign)

Burungeru/Burungel♂ is SirJulian,or maybe just Julian just because it fits him well. Maybe not the king of the seas, but he certainly is noble.

Sazandora/Sazandra♀ will be named Nyx, as the ancient greek goddess of night. Maybe I'll change it to Erebus, titan of chaos and husband of Nyx if I choose to catch a male Sazandora...

Shinporaa/Shinboraa♂ will be Zapotec, which is the name of a pre-Columbian civilization, as it seems to be based on Nazca lines. Also it's a weird name for a weird (pseudo)bird :D

Warubiaru/Waruvial♂ is Vincent, as it sounds like a mean and cool name.

I had trouble naming my Nattorei♂, as he is a strange plant... So I just shortened it to Nate. Might be changing it when the US names are available, though...

and finally, Elecna (electric + aracna), my Denchura♂ :D

 

[HirakuNoShadow]

Zearth - Bokurano reference; the nickname's a corruption for 'The Earth', it is used to name the gigantic mecha within the series.

Darumatian - A portmanteau of Daruma and Dalmatian. Bonus points for Daruma being part of the pronunciation for Dalmatian in Japanese.

Kamina - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann reference; look at its V-shaped marking on its face. They're pretty much the identical to the mentioned character's epic shades.

Buggy - One Piece reference; the clown nose. Enough said.

TimBurton - Specifically, The Night before Christmas reference. Its face is pretty reminiscent to that of the titular character's.

 

[PsychoJigglypuff]

I don't really have too many notable ones that would make sense to most people...

But I named my Munna "Macho". BD

And the Fighting Legendary trio I named Herp, Derp, and Burp. I love giving silly names to legends. xD
