  • I give my Pokemon either random, badass or no nicknames. I also tend to name them after characters in comedy shows and movies.

    I would name the Red Gyarados RedForeman or Chyzere.

    My starter will be named Chancho, Dwight or something that comes to my mind that's even better.

    I nickname all the Pokemon I get,and each is different.

    Chikorita: Callya for Female and maybe Verde for Male.

  • Although it's not often that I nickname my Pokemon, when I do I give them human names. For example, I have a black cat named 'Phyllis'. So when I wanted an Umbreon, I named the Eevee that. I also gave her name to a Persian. Another example; William is my hamster. Thus, I named a Pikachu after him, since both are rodents.

    My likely party:

    Feraligatr - Bandicoot (I do like my crash games!
    Ampharos - Teslax
    Pidgeot - Pilot KFC (That's where it'll belong if it fails to win battles
    Lapras - Nessy
    Tyranitar - Godzilla (admit it! It's a big green godzilla!
    Lugia - Poseidon

  • I never nickname my Pokémon... I guess I don't get why it's fun or whatever, haha. Except for the Paras named "Hilton", couldn't resist that one. lolgetit?

    My bf often gives his Pokémon silly names, though, and my friend once said that "just calling a Pokémon by its species name is like calling your friends "human". Go, human! Use fire blast!" much as I find that amusing, I still don't do nicknames. :Phttps://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

    Well, I've got names in mind for teams on both versions:

    On HeartGold...
    Typhlosion: Blazer (hard to come up with an original fire-based name, sadly)
    Poliwrath: Walker (after the birth name of a certain famous boxer)
    Victreebel: Inigo (after Inigo Montoya)
    Magneton: Shockeye (a minor Doctor Who villain, plus it fits... electric/three eyes)
    Sudowoodo: Twigley (I just like it)
    Noctowl: Nite Owl (the Watchmen character)

    On SoulSilver...
    Actually, I'm planning on naming my team for all Gurren Lagann characters.
    Feraligatr: Kamina
    Aipom: Simon (probably a better-suited name for Beedrill, but oh well)
    Sandslash: Viral
    Farfetch'd: Kittan
    Exeggutor: Lordgenome (it makes no sense but I don't care)
    Ninetales: Yoko
    (edit: also planning on naming any random catches going straight in the box for various characters as well. SoulSilver is basically going to be the "for fun" game while HeartGold will be the more serious playthrough.)
