What nicknames do you give to your pokemon
After I read the Johto Pokemon Adventure series comics I ended naming all my with the end of taro including my trainer (Almost exactly like what gold did)
My trainer always either:Kentaro or Rintaro( always had that name after watching metabots) And my pkmn was either called: Chimchar - explotaro (named after Gold's cyndaquil) Shinxs - zparktaro buizel/floatzel - jetaro Roselia - Pointaro Starly - wingtaro Though before that I did name them something else Chimchar - zippo Shinxs - sparky Buizel - aqua Roselia - point Starly - U-turn Weird aren't I |
None - I tend to let them keep the name they were given.
|
I don't really like giving nicknames to my Pokemon, because I can't think of anything funny/cool to name them anyways.
|
I don't usually give my Pokemon nicknames, but on my current file I have.
Torterra-Tartle Staravia-Spaz Kadabra-Mr Nugget Cherubi-McDonalds |
Infernape-Rapido (dunno why)
Floatzel-Lakes (water type pokemon so...) Pachirisu-Pikarisu (fusion of pikachu with pachirisu) Staraptor-Hikari (dunno why as well) Lucario-Raikari (look at my username x3) Golem-Dual-Rock (rock type...) |
i give them terrible names i.e articuno:NICK
zapdos:zappy moltres:molty rayquazza:dragon and the worst one spped type deoxys:speedy. awful knicknames |
I name my pokemon after songs.
The only exceptions are Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander St. Anger -Raichu Sanitarium -Alakazam Aerials -Pidgeot Floods -Garydos Hollow -Magmar etc etcetc |
THis belongs better in General.
*moves* |
i name my pkmn after my dogs,my long gone rabbit,hamsters,guinypigs and i name them after me.
i give some of them c*ap names like pikachu-pika any electric type-zap/shock/sparks/volt/thunder/bolt.all really rub fire types-molt/burn/melt/flare/flame. |
I don't nickname any of my Pokemon because I'm not creative enough to think of decent nicknames.
|
i sometimes name them by there name from different countries
infernape-goukazarou rhyperior-rhypo tangrowth-mojumbo feel free to use any of my suggestions |
I name mine after:
--Anime characters (Serena the Persian, Misty the Togepi, Rouge the Chimchar, Luna the Skitty) --Game characters (Diddy the Infernape, Zelda the Gardevoir, Saria the Venusaur, Tails the Floatzel) --Disney characters (Ariel the Vaporeon, Sebastian the Krabby, Meeko the Linoone) --Foreign words that suit the Pokemon (Luce the Ampharos, Estrella the Staraptor, Umi the Gyarados) |
I tend to name them after other pokemon.
For instance, my Empoleons name is Persian. |
Mine are generally random, but usually after somthing related to the pokemon, like, Icy the Glaceon, Electroman the Amphros (that one's after the Calvin Harris song though) and Choppy the Farfetch'd. Also, I always call my starter Flames (if it fits obviously, I'm not gonna have a Piplup called Flames)
|
Pokemon Nicknames
Also when I started playing pokemon (age 6)
Most of my pokemon always ended with a y E.g rattata = ratty |
I typically give my Pokémon mythological names, depending on my mood. Other times, I'm just a jerk.
Quote:
|
I name them after Roman and greek mythology,
My latest is my Shiny Odish, named Odysseus I have a Vileplume named Aphrodites (goddess of love/beauty) I take latin class. I am quite a nerd. |
I occasionally give them names, but I often revert back to their real names, then back again. I can never truly decide.
Anyways, here's my typical team's names: (For the moment) Gyarados-Leviathan Cacturne-Thirst Snorlax-Derrik Jr. Zapdos-False God Donphan-Crete Metagross-Luxord |
My torterra: terror
Starraptor: Star Luxray: X-ray Lucario: Slayer |
I give all my trained Pokemon nicknames, XD. I like to give them names from other languages, usually Japanese or German for some reason, but I have names from all over. The ones that don't have names have been traded and thus I can't:
Venusaur-Minako Charizard-Bellyzard Blastoise-ShellShockr Butterfree-Cotton Beedrill-Stingly Raticate-Thor Raichu-RAICHU Venomoth-Toxikka Dugtrio-Ichinison Primeape-Chouji Poliwrath-Gamabunta Alakazam-Billy Tentacruel-Jellie Rapidash-Hidalgo Muk-America Gengar-Big Boo Kingler-Zoidberg Exeggutor-Eggy Marowak-Bonehead Hitmonlee-Rock Lee Weezing-Smogon Kangaskhan-Khanroo Starmie-Proximus Mr. Mime-Claude Jynx-Rajura Tauros-Blueno Gyarados-Menace Jolteon-Sparky Flareon-Amaterasu Kabutops-Zangenklau Aerodactyl-Slifer Snorlax-Tubby Dragonite-IceBeamH8r Typhlosion-Pyrous Feraligatr-Dundee Furret-Krazy Crobat-Kurobatto Lanturn-Nimrod Xatu-Twilight Ampharos-Makoto Espeon-Artemis Umbreon-Luna Unown-Lucky Wobbuffet-LOL I UBER Forretress-FORRETRESS Steelix-Diamondz Granbull-Ino Qwilfish-Ubelia Scizor-Mantissia Heracross-Hirschkafr Mantine-Shelby Skarmory-Sehryzbra Houndoom-Diablo Kingdra-Poseidon Donphan-Ganesha Blissey-BLISSEY Tyranitar-Godzilla Blaziken-Flameira Mightyena-Daemon Linoone-LINOONE Beautifly-Baboochka Ludicolo-ButtShaker Gardevoir-Sensitivo Breloom-Bello Slaking-Landuozhu Ninjask-Jazz Exploud-LoudMouth Hariyama-HARIYAMA Aggron-Dodonga Sharpedo-Jaws Wailord-Behemoth Flygon-Erdrache Seviper-Kaa Claydol-Spinner Milotic-Venetio Absol-Serenity Relicanth-Coelio Luvdisc-n00b ki11r Salamence-Kaschei Metagross-Kalkulai Torterra-Europe Infernape-Kong Empoleon-Dedede Staraptor-Tibarn Roserade-Thornbutt Rampardos-Velocir Mothim-Garmeil Vespiquen-Hornisse Pachirisu-PachiPachi Floatzel-Neptune Ambipom-Ukkiki Drifblim-Booster Mismagius-Lil Miss Honchkrow-Carleton Skuntank-Stinky Bronzong-Copper Spiritomb-Banshee Garchomp-Kurthnaga Lucario-Kuchiki Hippowdon-Grocery Drapion-Manticore Toxicroak-Sapolando Abomasnow-Yukinooh Weavile-Mordred Magnezone-Enterprise Lickilicky-Wrecko Rhyperior-Brute Tangrowth-Zetsu Electivire-Knuckles Magmortar-HellBoy Togekiss-Farore Yanmega-Yanmanator Leafeon-Bonzakura Glaceon-Hyorinmaru Gliscor-Aximili Mamoswine-Iqaluit PorygonZ-Virtuo Gallade-Shikamaru Dusknoir-Shinigami Froslass-Anastasia I cannot believe I actually finished that list. Boy, I must be bored right now. XD |
Quote:
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. |
I call Suicune "Rex", Celebi "Serebii" & Lucario "Lucius"
|
I give no nicknames...
They aren't worth anything.. |
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. |
Quote:
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 |
Pokemon Nicknames
I don't nickname my Diamond Pokemon, but I did in Sapphire. Some names suck, but others are okay.

Spinda - Dizdot Linoone - Wolverine Gyarados - Hydropump (He helped me kick some serious Team Magma butt.) Magneton - Magnevolt Skarmory - Silverwing Hariyama - Sumosami (Sumosami... Lol...) And, of course, my all-time favorite and the best Pokemon in my game: Fawkes, the ultimate Blaziken! I love you, Fawkes! <3 Enjoy! It would be cool to know what names you liked or didn't like, so if you could let me know, that would be great! Just quote the names you are talking about, not the whole post. :\ |
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. |
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 |
Quote:
Darkrai is named Magikarp Magikarp is named Blazekin Espeon is named well Espeon since i would never shame Espeon =D Gardevoir is named Machamp Rotom is named Dodrio |

Nicknames I've given my Pokemon before.
Charizard - Pokemon Yellow - Char 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. |
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.
|
I'm not very creative with nicknames, but I always give them to my Pokemon. :3
It's so fun. Infernape - Ganon Gardevoir - Kaori/Sana/Gallade Leafeon - Hana/Phyllali/Riifuirii Glaceon - Hiellice/Hielo Vaporeon - Franboise Flareon - Fluffy Jolteon - Spike Espeon - Spiral/Mentali Umbreon - Glow/Luna Honchcrow - Darklen Ditto - Bij/Slutty/DCn00b Yanma (F) - Raid Gallade - Gardevoir/Rapier Beautifly - Freesia Bufferfree - Lilac Charmander - Charmy Cyndaquil - Cindy Torchic - Dinner Mr. Mime - Dr. Tran Lopunny - Slutbunny Pikachu- Peekachew/Pikapreggo Blissey - Bad Egg Magikarp - The King/Magicrap Feebas - LOLWTF/Mistake/Foxy Roserade - your mom Alakazam - Rapist Uxie - Takeshi/Masato (Lulz. A friend of mine gave me a second Uxie and named it Masato just to tease me. ;D;) Mesprit - Hikari Azelf - Satoshi Giratina - Kasumi Cresselia - Haruka Heatran - Kenji Togekiss - Lucifer I think that's about it. xDD |
I name my pokemon after roman/greek gods or famous people =D
erm... Snorlax - homer S or... Garchomp - Artemis (god of hunting) |
I used to name them red dog, green dog, gold dog, etc. because of some weird dream i had years ago. Now i just name them some thing humourous. my last game i had, i accidentally named my Torchic fly, but it's stuck in my head. Now my empoleon's name is Fly somethin somethin.
|
i only nicknamed my bellossom with was "Bella"
|
I usually (not always) name them with Japanese stuff when it's a Japanese game. Oh yeah, this is Platinum I am speaking of.
Infernape - Hono (Hono, which is Japanese, means fire.) Luxray - Ray (The name says it all.) Gastrodon - Shai (This was one of my character's in my manga I made.) Gardevoir - Saik (After Marriland, who named his Kadabra/Alakazam with that.) Togepi - Toki (Toki toki~) Riolu - Hadou (As of Infernape, Hadou means Aura.) Uxie/Azelf - Uxie/Azelf (I can identify them quickly even if I can't see the sprite) Leafeon - Eve (It was an Eevee, so...) That's all, I'll dig them all out later. My parents are home. They don't KNOW I own an NDS. (They think I borrowed it from my buddy.) |
I generally don't nickname my pokemon. Though I still remember when I was little and playing red...I named a few of em rude words lol, I thought it was funny ._.

Quote:
When you were born, you got a name. But some people might want to apply a nickname to you, see?:) And that is probably why Nintendo added it to pokemon. While using the feature is optional, it is still nice. Don't be so negative :) |

Honestly, I can't stand nicknames. I don't think I've ever nicknamed a Pokemon; if I have, it was probably as a joke that I can't even remember now. The nickname factor is pretty much the reason why I never use in-game traded Pokemon; the one exception being Jynx in R/B, which I have used a few times. I just pretend to call it Jynx, not Lola. =P
|
I don't either... but my mate called his Turtwig 'Bogey' and his Starly 'Bird Turd'
|
I give my pokemon random nicknames...
Z-DRAGON the Dialga Abyss the Giratina Psychofist the Meditite B.B.MD.DAD the Gyarados* Roserde JN the Budew** BIGBADMAMA the Pelipper Gaspar the Haunter# 10tentacls the Octillery Chatter the Chatot Foppa the Gyarados## Im ur mom! the Pichu SHUT UP!!! the Chatot Drillhorn the Rhyperior Told ya, very random. * It stands for Big.Bad.Mad.Dad **It stands for Roserade Junior #It's traded in-game ##Also traded in-game |
I either use a completely random word that really makes no sense, or do the generic thing and use their name or their appearance to decide what their name is. Usually the latter.
For example, my current training party is: Shiny Staraptor - Emo (awesome emo hair, right?) Pikachu - Chewy Dialga - Ledgend Chimchar - Red Luxio - Sparkplug Piplup - Linux Bulbasaur - Sprout |
I nickname the ones on my team, but not many others.
Empoleon - Piyon (the name was much more suitable when it was still a piplup) Luxray - Shin (from shinx, but it turned out to be a good name) Roserade - Brose Staraptor - Starrie Graveler - Gemmer Rapidash - Radeem (after a rapidash in my fic) Eevee - Renian (after a character in one of my stories) Pikachu - Pikanel (after my pair in PMD blue!) Pichu - Jonan (My Volt Tackle -Pichu, named after a character in a story) Psyduck - Ducker and Duckie (a boy and a girl, respectively) Azurill - Azurem (just random, it never even was on my team so I didn't bother naming it well) |
All of mine I nicknamed:
PALKIA=Parukia DIALGA=Diaruga GIRATINA=Ghost ROTOM=Scrotom DITTO= Mr.Squishy RAPIDASH= Nappy Rash VENUSAUR= Anusaur EMPOLEON= Pingu LUCARIO= Woolfy GLISCOR= Vlad ELECTIVIRE= Elekible another LUCARIO= Rukario WAILORD= Gigantor REGIGIGAS= Fluffy LUXRAY= Sparxx My nicknames are always lower case. Some of them are the original names, some are what springs to mind when I hear the word/see the sprite. |
I really don't give my pokemon nicknames...I don't know I just like their regular names! By the way, this is my 100th post!!!
|
I give them their original Japanese names.
|
Me?
Alakazam=Psy
Floatzel=Typhoon Infernape=Blaze Dialga=Deity Kyogre=Neptune Palkia=Omega |
I only have one for me...
Rhydon- Da Beast |
Meowth - Charm
Chimchar (f) - Anny Fire pokemon - Blaze Chatot - Chippy Aipom - Oki Golduck - Jet and many other names I cannot think at the moment. |
... I have a lot. Off the top of my head:Turtwig - (f) Terra (m) Reece
Piplup - (m) Caleb (f) Serie Starly - (f) Star (xD) or Aria (m) Dusk Shinx - (f) Cleo (m) Jet Kricketot - (f) Melody (m) Simon Abra - (m) Luke (f) Karen Onix - (f) Tess (m) Rocky (it's a name I've stuck since I was little...) Budew - (f) Irie (m) Rui Ponyta - (m) Snowfire (f) Anala And many, many others I'm too lazy to list. Another favorite is a male Bronzong named Quasimodo (kudos to you if you get that reference). |
Nickname's according to there moves or according to what kind of Poke they are, or names inspired by people, or just plain names of other Pokes.
Jolteon - Thunda Suicune - Sweet Vaporeon - Umbreon Muk - MukTudor |
I usually don't nickname my Pokémon, unless I can think of a good one or are determined to.
Well, first there's the obvious: My most loved Pokemon, Nighwitch the Murkrow. Then we have Sombrero the Infernape, Cyrus the Giratina (I'm serious... I named my Giratina Cyrus. xDDDD), Silverduck the Golduck, Cliche the Golbat, Kris the Persian, Caro the Raichu, Helio the Magneton, and Bad Guy the Mesprit. (Those last four were little fanfic jokes. ^^) |
My Nicknames:
Jigglypuff - Igglybuff Pachirisu - Sammi Metagross - Deabloeffer Metang - Glomper Tyranitar - Fat Snorlax - Ano Rex Psyduck - Doctor Jynx - Robert Mr. Mime - Female Minun - Add Plusle - Subtract Venusaur - Cowrie Shelgon - Samus |
No, I don't give them nicknames. Just keeping the original.
|
So far, I've only nicknamed a few Pokemon.
Lucario - HawtDawg Dialga - Stopwatch Croagunk - Kermit Manaphy - SeaAngel Umbreaon - BlackCat (No, I'm not racist :P) That's just to name a few |
Well I called my Pachirisu Nuts! {But I got that name from a guy in the pokemon world magazine and he got it from his sister so...}
|
I don't know if someone has already said this but....
I named my Turtwig, Emerald. My Piplup, Sapphire and my Chimchar, Ruby. Ha |
The first syllable of the real name
|
I used to give them human names, then I stopped.
|
Pikachu - Lana.
Mudkip - Echo. Vulpix - Paprika Milotic - Loki ... I can't remember any of the others. |
I give mine either real names or random names that dont even relate to the pokemon
for example Rattata-Death Jr Spinda-Penny Tropius-Gilbert Bagon-Ryan and so on and so on |
I name my pokemon based on their physical appearence and Pokedex description.
Feraligatr; Jaws Quilava; Blaze Kadabra; Blade [I know, it has nothing to do with it's description or physical] Machoke; Muscle Graveler; Heavy G Ampharos; Starfire [The starz :D] |
I name them after Greek/Latin/Roman ones,
Infernape - Prometheus - The titan who stole fire from Zeus and brought it to the humans, or Forethought (I'm thinking of renamng him Goku ...) Staraptor - Aquila - Eagle Floatzel -Neptune - God of the ocean Roserade - Oleander - A flower Togekiss - Amore - Love (When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, thats amore) Dialga - Articulus - Moment in time Dragonite - Draco - Dragon Luxray - Nemean - Nemean lion Or I name them really random ones, Golduck - Gorgonzola - Blue Cheese Psyduck - Cheese Venasaur - Stench Mewtwo - DarkMage - Dark Magician |
here are some of my pokemon:
Aladdin = Alakazam Guy = Gyarados Venus = Milotic Krystal = Vaporeon Hougar = Gengar Garfield = Garchomp |
Garfield the Garchomp? lol.
|
I now give my Pokemon human names. Like Gertrude. But I use to use random stuff like Bluegrass for Bulbasaur. o_O
|
Well, I sometimes give them nicknames if I can, like I named a Buizel Tsunami, a Piplup Ice Cream, kind of like that, but I only nickname them if they're going to be important to me, if I just caught them to be HM slaves, I wouldn't nickname them.
|
I have never given them nicknames until just recently for my new wifi team.
UberNoober the Deoxys-S. GARCHOMP the Gyarados. CutYaUpGud the Heracross. Olympian the Kingdra. 4xGrassNub the Swampert. Ludicrous the Ludicolo. |

My Charmander is called Flamer and my Pikachu shocker, kinda obvious haha.
|
Usually I stay with their names as is, but the 3 starter pokemon from blue and red I like to name after the pokemon from Pokemon the movie....bruteroot (bulba) shellshocker (squirt).
:P |
I NEVER give nicknames to Pokemon. I hate nicknames and it also make the Pokemon sound dumb.
|
Doesn't look like I've posted here, so...
Current Diamond team names and why: Taunter, Haunter-- I've always named all my Haunters this; it's a tradition. If I can get a Haunter in the game, I name it Taunter (preferably male! I did name a female this once my accient!) Regnorik, Gallade-- I borrowed this name from a character of mine in a story that is not only a swordsman, but is also very curtious and calm in his attitude. Sparx, Jolteon-- This is simply childish unoriginality and a fandom of the Spyro the Dragon series (original 3); the name has stuck, akin to my Haunter tradition, however. Aquaria, Vaporeon-- Once more, lack of originality, but I like it. Axel, Typlosion-- AHAHA, KH FAN IS ME. D: Totally unoriginal, but I found a more suiting name... Matathena, Espeon-- Espeons look like Nekomata, and the Goddess Athena is wise (as I see psychic-types to be as well); this is a no brainer. NOW, that team is very similiar to my IC team... here are the changes, and why IC-character picked that name, because I'm a dork like that: Taunter, or Taun(y) for short-- childish, but it was given to him when his now-trainer was 5 years old or so; childish minds conjure childish nicknames Vladimir, or Vlad for short-- the last to be named on Lauren's current team, he gained his name after his trainer's arrival on Earth as well. On an excrusion to Russia, she had a moment of extreme boredom (and inability to find what she was looking for there) and started sifting through a few translated books, looking at names for the un-named Gliscor... she saw 'Vladimir' and thought it fit him nicely. There ya go. Sparx-- spawned from a period where the trainer's creative mind wasn't really so... creative. Nicknaming was new to Lauren at the time her Eevee evolved, and thus she thought of "Sparx" to fit; Sparks, as it was originally, didn't look neat to Lauren; thus, she threw an "x" in. Lack of originality, but it stuck. Aquaria, or Aqua for short-- originally named "Eevie" (same incident as the "Sparx" name), Aquaria was given the nickname she goes by today by a whole other trainer, before the Pokemon was once more in Lauren's possession. According to the other trainer, "Aquaria" is a highly-corrupted form of "Aqoritiu", which was a city that supposedly was blown to pieces by the volcanic island it peacefully (for a time) existed upon. Regnorik, or Reggy for short-- according to his former owner, Doctor Ludwig, "Regnorik" is a corruption of "Ragnorok". Though a fan of Norse mythology, he didn't apply the name well; the Gallade didn't prove to be very apocylapic. Lauren kept the name however, remarking that it had an "elegant and regal sort of air to it". Vesuvius, or Vesuv for short-- this was given to the Typhlosion soon after his egg hatched during one of Lauren's expeditions to Earth. Having read up about various volcanic eruptions and the mountains involved in them, she discovered "Vesuvius" and found it and the tale of Pompeii most interesting; ergo, the then-Cyndaquil earned his nickname. |
I named my Blastoise Bowser because they are both turtle like creatures and they both appear to be angry and kinda mean.
In most cases though I usually name a pokemon based on it's species and it's nature, it varies lots. |
>.>; Mine aren't the most original, but... well, at least most share a theme. <.<; Obviously, I was an NGE fan majorly at one point.
Porygon-Z - Balthalzar, named for my favorite of the three MAGI supercomputers which are in turn named for the three mythological magi. Kingdra - Ayanami, named for Rei Ayanami. Blue with red eyes. >.>; Ninetales - Sohryu, for Asuka Langley Sohryu. For obvious reasons. <.<; Absol - Tabris, for the 17th angel. Kaworu might've been better. White-haired with red eyes. Swellow - Muramasa, because a burn-orb/facader is certainly analagous to a cursed sword. Also, MMBN battle chip reference. Espeon - Wild Karde, as a loose reference to Talon Karrde from Star Wars, as well as that the Espeon itself is a wild card in my team, as I already have another paychic. Gallade - Le Creuset, a not-entirely-fitting reference to Rau Le Creuset from Gundam SEED, one of my all-time favorite villains. Cloyster - Adamantine, named for the mythical hard substance, being as Cloyster be quite epic on the defense and all. Mismagius - Lelouch, named for Lelouch vi Britannia. Not the best fit, but at least fits as far as color scheme. -CF |
Well i always have 6 Pokemon on my party but i only use 3 and those are like my mains.
So on Emerald: Milotic = Phoebe - I like that name :) Roselia = Rose - i just cut the name up Blissey = Bliss - cut the name in half too Fire Red: Swampert = Kip - Half of name from beginning Venusaur = Ivy - Second name cut in half *haha i'm so original xD* and last but not least Piloswine = Nub - once again, so original lol. |
I usually don't give them nicknames, I just like the original name.
|
I sometimes give nicknames, sometimes not. From my Shiny Gold team:
Magnemite: Buzzap (yeh, kinda stupid) Quilava: Vulcan (volcano god for a fire-type. go figure) Geodude: Baldor (I was gonna go for boulder, but this is a tad more original) Machop: Muscle (trade name. bleargh) Ariados: Arachne (woman turned spider. and its a bonus that Arachne's female) Noctowl: Spectre (it always looked a bit spooky to me) well, there you go. So, whaddaya reckon? |
Ahaha! I remember Muscle from the Metal games! *had it on her team for a while in Gold*
I have more nicknames... DP team's names when I beat the E4: 1. Taunter-- same one as my last post 2. Sheena-- Gastrodon; for some reason, I named her after the ToS character Sheena; likewise, she has a male counterpart in my PC; Zelos the Western Shellos. 3. Altair-- Infernap; he went through quite a few names, but this lack-of-originality was from wanting to play Assassin's Creed, 4. Spirit-- Mesprit; YEAH, that totally wasn't original either, but I liked it. 5. Sphinx-- Luxray; whoo yeah, not original either; taken from Shinx and the fact that Luxray looks like a freaky lion to me, and the Egyptian Sphinx being mostly lion. 6. Korinthysis-- Dialga; originally named Kratos (ToSness), I changed the name to a Copper DnD dragon a character of mine uses in free-form roleplay from time to time. "Korinthysisquenzellix" was too long to put in, so I just shortened it to what it originally was... ironicly, Dialga seems male to me, and Korinthysis is a female Copper. |
This is a list I compiled of the nicknames I have giving over the years. As you can probably tell it's not complete:
Vulpix-Pixie Alakazam-Magi Chimecho-Chime Chikorita-Flower Cyndaquil-Smoke Totodile-Jaws Chikorita-Posy Charmander-Chalk NidoranM-BunnyM NidoranF-BunnyF Raticate-Bitey Clefable-Fair Jigglypuff-Sing Moltres-Venus Articuno-Pluto Zapdos-Jupiter Ivysaur-Big Seed Charizard-Big Lizard Blastoise-Big Turtle Butterfree-Fly Beedrill-Stef Sandslash-Helen Persian-Xena Meowth-Xena2 Noctowl-Clock Azurill-Dots Azurill-Zana Marill-Mark Azumarill-Molly Lapras-Lappy Lapras-Big Blue Skarmory-Defender Scizor-Scissors Poliwrath-Gloves Plusle-Pa Plusle-Posi Minum-Ma Minum-Negi Swellow-Tap Delcatty-Gaby Skitty-Jenny Skitty-Joy Skitty-Sylvester Skitty-Star Skitty-Ginger Skitty-Sandy Skitty-Taby Skitty-Kitty Skitty-Candy Skitty-Bell Skitty-Mitten Skitty-Socks Snorlax-Zleep Pichu-Lightning Pichu-Sprinkles Pikachu-Sparky Pikachu-Rocket Pikachu-Junior Pikachu-Jungle Pikachu-May Raichu-Thunder Raichu-Poppy Torterra-Twitle Dugtrio-Claws Absol-Abby Leafeon-Eon Jolteon-Jolt Flareon-Ash Flareon-Flame Vaporeon-Splash Gyarados-Jaws Gyarados-Fairy Machop-Tamantha Golem-Dude Rapidash-Arkfire Cloyster-Clamp Electrode-Plode Porygon-Pory Aerodactyl-Areo Bagon-Kitty Whiskash-Whiskas Ledyba-Spots Togepi-Chip Togepi-Dip Mareep-Bell Quagsire-Woop Wooper-Upah Espeon-Eve Umbreon-Sun Misdreavus-Marge Wynaut-Snap Mantine-Kite Phanpy-Taffy Gardevoir-Melodie Spoink-Bounce Tropius-Troopa Kyogre-Neptune Staraptor-Stars Luxray-Shina Sheildon-Lily Sheildon-Tony Sheildon-Danny Sheildon-Nina Pachirisu-Pouchy Floatzel-Buzz Gastrodon-Mr.Sea Gastrodon-Ms.Sea Drifloon-Woon Lopunny-Lilac Blissey-Holly Carnivine-Triffid Uxie-Uni Mesprit-Miu Azelf-Ata Girafarig-Polly Shinx-Jingles Shinx-Prance Shinx-Angel Shinx-Scat Magikarp-Spoon Magikarp-Milotic Magikarp-Misty Houndoom-Tan Hariyama-Circle Voltorb-Golf Mightyena-Coal Kingdra-Seak Palkia-Astro |
Mostly i would give a nickname that relates to their type.
Pickachu - Sparky Gyrados - Typhoon Pichu - Shocky Roselia - Rosey |
Here are some examples of mine:
Damon (Empoleon) Sepulchre (Anorith) Starlight (Staraptor) Erik (Crobat) Bernadotte (Banette) |
I only have one nickname worth mentioning and that's Shiver for the Lugia I caught a couple of years ago in my Silver version.
All of the other nicknames I've given to my Pokémon are terrible. Probably because I don't put any thought into them. For this reason, they're not being listed. |
My teams all nicknamed- its:
Umbreon- Shadow Yanmega- Slicer T Tar- Twister Togekiss- Razor Wind Mamoswine- Mammochon Weavile- Koritatsu I just nn them with names that seem to sound cool lol, and it gives them some individuality. |
Ive only given my INFERNAPE a nickname and it was Infereast
|
I dont normaly nickname, but when I do they're eaither sophisticated or with a mood Im in. I have a team named after characters in Shakespear's Romeo and Juliette. In Diamond I gave them all nicknames. I have:
Leafeon: Forest Vaporeon: Skye Purugly: Purdence Rapidash: Freya Mismagius: Gothica Driftblim: Aire |
Off the top of my head (don't know if I'll add more later...)
Blaziken - TrailBlaze:t257:: originally Blazer, but, as I lost Sapphire and had to buy Emerald, I changed it for an "affirmed renewal of our purpose in Pokemon" - or something like that. :D Swampert - Crash: originally Swamper, but Crash seems cooler/more innovative Sceptile - Razor Charizard - WildFire Blastoise - Blaster Venusaur - Venom Raichu - Lightning Typhlosion - Override Feraligatr- either WaterWorks or ThundrClap (Totodile claps so much in the anime!) Meganium - Vitamin C Infernape - changed it from Breaker to CrossFire Empoleon - Hatchet Torterra - Forrester Sharpedo - Mach (even though it's not that fast... :P) Dragonite - Hurricane Tyranitar - Code Red Salamence - Sky High Metagross - Commodore Garchomp - Scourge Rhyperior - Overlord Kangaskhan - Warhead Scizor - Guillotine Staraptor - Meteor Pidgeot - Savannah Girafarig - Silence Tauros - Pathfinder? Stantler - Nightmare Aerodactyl - Velocity (because that thing always creams my Flyers in the BT. Then again, I really didn't train the Pokemon competitively):laugh: Steelix - Tectonyx (thanks to that poor guy at Memorial Pillar in FireRed...) And I'm waiting to name a bird Pokemon Tomahawk! LOL, someone said once if you don't nickname your Pokemon and call 'em by their species name, it's the same thing as calling your friends "Human" in real life instead of by name:laugh: |
I don't really like nicknames, the originals are fine...
|
Well it's uber lame, but I nicked Crobat Speedy, Manectric Elec.Shock...god I can't continue..
|
Nicknames??
I was just wondering, how many people actually DO choose nicknames when tey get the choice to..?
If you do, what do you choose to nickname it? EDIT: Please do not slam me because i write this, as i am new and this is my first new thread, (besides my welcome one) |
I never nickname my Pokemon. I can never come up with one that I'm completely satisfied with. However, I have seen some pretty clever ones before. I also dislike getting nicknamed Pokemon off the GTS. I feel like it's taking someone elses idea and keeping it for myself.
