Very useful thread!

Personally, I like having a lot of mythology and meaning behind a word. I would not suggest using any Japanese names as that just makes you look a little.. ehh.. yeah. :P

Also, as a general rule, it's good to avoid obvious choices such as 'Flame' for Charizards and 'Moonlight' for Umbreons. It's good to have a bit of spice and distinctive flavor in nicknames, as it is with anything. I like giving my Pokemon the names of Greek and/or Roman gods/goddesses. A favorite of mine is Poseidon for Swamperts (and other Water/Ground types) or Gyaradoes (though I like Tempest for the latter as well.) Kronos for Dialga is also a great name IMO.

(also, I *heart* Latin names.)

Someone asked for suggestions for this list of Pokemon (see below) and I thought I'd give a shot at trying to give some suggestions for some Pokemon:

Tyranitar - Hercules, Caesar
Rhyperior - Terrasaur
Flareon - Hephaestus (this also works as a great name for Growlithe I think (see Blake Wilson's profile on FFnet and his one story for backstory behind how I came by this name; I am not Blake btw))
Vaporeon - Frigidus
Mesprit - Eros, Cupid, Amor

they are some ok names but we usually give reason for the names and what they mean so people have a better insight and know what they are actually calling the pokemon thnx

This is a great thread, personally I've always wondered why the Name Rater only ever gives you the ability to rename your pokemon. ( I know, I know, too much programming, blah blah blah..) Anyways, onto the pokemon that I need help naming. Right now it's an Empoleon that is nicknamed Seiben because that was Piplup's number in German. I was hoping that I might get some better insight and give it a nickname that is worthy of its grandeur.

Supreme Dirt March 24th, 2008 9:33 AM

XD Lugia, with a future as a Pressure staller, an occasional trump card of Psycho Boost.
XD Zapdos, a Special Sweeper with Metal Sound

If anybody wants to remake this then by all means do, but under no circumstances should a thread be posted in that hasn't been for over a month.
