Do you like to give nicks to your pokemon? Where to you get brainwaves for nicks?
I love giving nicknames to my Pokemon
I usually get my nicks from WOW. Curious whether most people like to give nicks to their team |
Same, I always nickname my pokemon.
For me I tend to base from weather Salamence (Hurricane) Garchomp (Jetstream) Skarmory (Clearsky) Tyranitar (Erosion) So I usually go to an online weather dictionary and pick a name that would fit nicely, If I run out, I may get them from common saying or may even name them my friends online. But most of the time, it's pure randomness. |
I don't give them nicknames.
I'm not good at finding names. |
I give my nickames to my Pokèmon randomly.
Take Skarmory, for example, he turned into Capriollè. |
I never give me Pokemon nicknames, it makes it confusing.
|
I hate nicknaming my pokemon.
I usually hate the first form's name but, the thing is, I usually love the final form's name. Therefore, I keep the name, evolve them, and voila, I have the final form =D |
I hate giving them nicknames, especially on older games, like Pokemon Yellow. Makes it very hard to find out which one you want. Newer ones like FR or LG makes it easier with the little icon though. Still don't like to give nicknames though. I only catch 1 of each kind of Pokemon so I have no need.
|
I always nickname my Pokes, it gives them more of a "personal" feel. Or do I just like naming things?
For example, I always nickname Cyndaquil "Daisuke" :p |
I take the first few letters of pokemon names and turn them into little cutesy nicknames (i.e. Jolteon=Jojo, Charizard=Charzo, etc.) In case you were wondering, i AM a girl so don't stare at me like that.
|
I love nicknaming every pokemon I catch but nowadays, I only nickname my team and shinies. Most have the first letter of its final form or sometimes its baby form and they consist of a lot of random subjects from flowers to mythology to gemstones.. =D
|
I nickname my pokemon using my name for the lead and my friends names everyone else
|
i just caught a shiny clampearl, made a gorebyss just now, want a unique nickname.
idea? |
I like giving nicknames to my Pokemon. Not sure why, I just do. The only exception ish that I don't nickname my legendaries.
Most of my ideas for nicknames come from animes that I've watched, and Japanese/Russian words that I know =D |
The first pokemon I had was a Cyndaquil which I named after the person who helped me with my game :).
Once on Sapphire, I named them all after foods :). |
I usually name most of my Pokemon... specially my Starter <3
I can't stand not having somthing from a trade nicknamed >.> It makes it seem so... bleh D= I remember naming my Pikachuu in yellow "Paprika" for no apparent reason xDD and the Origin for "Torchy" and "Torcher" came from ... maybe a Torch's flame? (This was for Torchic {Now, my Blaziken}) Pyro, My Infernape, I remember very clearly. I named it "Pyro" because 'Pyro' meant fire (I think), and Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape was a fire-type =3 "Charlie" came from a fic I read... I thought it was good, so I used it for my Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, just like the person in the fic did o_O |
Before my "leave from Pokemon" I used to name everything! And I was 10...so... they're kinda' wierd. Here's some examples from my Uber Sapphire game:
Blaziken: Torch 3 (I named all Torchicks "Torch" and this was the 3rd. Mewtwo: Harry (Harry Potter) Mewtwo: Urasakia (No idea) Zapdos: Wat (not so wierd) Kyogre: MARINE (Not so wierd either) Rayquaza: SHARK (idk) Sceptile: Treepan Banette: Suragha Breloom: Cucumber Flygon: Valin Aggron: Ron Kyogre: Lord Drile Groudon: TERRA (After that girl on Teen Titans who controlls the ground named "Terra") Dragonite: Champ Alakazam: Bioshay Charizard: Moms Walrein: Spevzy Rayquaza: Luffy (off of One Piece) Pelipper: Pidders Groudon: LORD Ciov Groudon: DAWN OGRE Ditto: Stirk Ninjask: Kid Linoone: Streak Delcatty: Phoenix Vileplume: Fefe Bellossom: Fofo Sableye: Sajiay Alakazam: Mon Giock Wynaut: Wynikoi Lanturn: Licflo Magikarp: REMKO Charizard: Nightcross Manectric: Treeky Zap Registeel: Steelbo I'm gonna' go check into a Mental Hospital now. |
I used to have a Croconaw named CRACKERJACK. Goood times.
|
I name my...
Lopunny (x2) - Longears and Mimiroll Glalie - Tricker Chikorita (x2) - Chiko and Chico Torchic - Chixxie Pachirisu - Pachirchu Usually I give nicknames to the Pokemon I use for Super Contest |
I name my Pokes after
--anime characters (Serena the Persian, Lita the Pikachu) --game characters (Zelda the Gardevoir, Tails the Floatzel) --Disney characters (Meeko the Linoone, Ariel the Vaporeon) --foriegn words that suit the Pokemon (Luce the Ampharos, Estrella the Staraptor) |
I usually name all my main Pokémon. I get names from Japanese names, the first letter of the Pokémon's names or the first thing that pops into my head.
|
i hate nick naming pokemon it takes there uniqueness away.its silly to and just gets annoying and confusing .
i NEVERnickname Pokemon cause i love the names they have already. nice thread idea though.:) |
I used to, but they were stupid.
My first pokemon ever (Squirtle) I named SPLASH!!!... Sigh... |
I always name the pokemon I'm going to be using in my team. It gives them a bit of personality and means I don't have to think of them as their species name...which just seems weird to me.
|
Uhh. I use to nickname pokemon but they were common names that you'd see everywhere, so I don't really care for those.
I did start nicknaming my pokemon in PMD again, though, because in a pokemon society like that... I really doubt that all call each other by their species name. |
I hate if if they're not named.
Ummm...some are just people names, some come off the Pokemon's name. And some I make up...such as three of these female Swampert: Tamerille, Awearille, and Mahrerille. I'd like to see you pronounce them correctly. Heh. |
I only nickname my first six captures and I usually name them after my closest friends.
