What nicknames do you give to your pokemon

[Trainer Kat]

Wobbuffet-LOL I UBER
Ludicolo-ButtShaker
Hippowdon-Grocery

Favorites.

Now that you've mentioned Ludicolo, I have to say that I always have a Ludicolo on my team, and he's always named Runpapa. Which, IIRC, is his Japanese name.

My current favorite Pokémon name;
Bubba Gump, my Anorith.

 

[Pokepal17]

I call Suicune "Rex", Celebi "Serebii" & Lucario "Lucius"

 

[Mōnštȝr¿]

I give no nicknames...
They aren't worth anything..

 

[Lynnx]

Meganium = Flora
Absol = Raven
Lapras = Floe
Aerodactyl = Aera
Clefable = Fable
Jolteon = Jojo
Charizard = Charza
Pidgeot = Pipa / Swella
Dragonair = Myst
Vileplume = Lilly
Butterfree = Freesa
Ninetales = Vixy

Etcetera etcetera ...

I always nickname my Pokemon.

 

[Opposite Day]

I typically give my Pokémon mythological names, depending on my mood. Other times, I'm just a jerk.



My most recent Dustox is named Pidgeot. xDD

Oh really? xD Awesome!
Another thingy I tend to do, is to name my pokes after the avatars of Vishnu. (I know, weird)
But it is kind of cool, I think, to name my Bronzong Kurma (The Tortoise, in other words, Tank)
That's got to be the weirdest nickname ever xD

[4th Gen Matt]

I only give them nicknames if I can think up a good one. Otherwise, I tend to not care very much.

I do give them nicknames in double battling though to confuse my opponents.

I will name my Heracross Kingra and my Kingra Heracross. Lol. That always gets them.

 

[Alakazam17]

I've heard of people doing that, heh. One guy who will kept unnamed has a Bronzong named "Heatproof," who has Levitate, XD.

As for myself, my Charizard is called "Bellyzard," but he is a Special Sweeper. XD

 

[ShadowWind]

And my pkmn was either called:

Chimchar - explotaro (named after Gold's cyndaquil)
Shinxs - zparktaro

[Leaf_PKMN-Trainer]

Nicknames I've given my Pokemon before.

Pikachu - Pokemon Yellow - SurfinPika (it knew surf)
Marill - Pokemon Silver - Pikablu
Mew - Pokemon Sapphire - Myu
Mewtwo - Pokemon LeafGreen - Myu2
Gardevoir - Pokemon Pearl - Sana

This one isn't mine, but my friend gave one of his Pokemon a humorous nickname
Ditto - Pokemon Diamond - Humpy
He named it that because it was only used for Pokemon Breeding.

 

[UberChomp]

I have never nicknamed a pokemon in all my years of pokemon fandom. I think its stupid, generic, and just paves a way for retards to give their pokemon stupid nicknames. I think their original names they were given by the pokemon game designers themselves is much more suitable for obvious reasons.
