For some reason this reminded me of my female Raichu, Thundere. If you can figure out what that's a reference to, you must know what TV Tropes is. If you don't, for the sake of your free time do NOT google Tv Tropes or go to tvtropes.org. I warned you. I did. |

I would make my Pokemon names more proper, not all in CAPS. That, to me, looks ugly and unappealing.
|
I never give nicknames to my Pokemon.
|
for some reason i really dont like when people give their pokemon nicknames, im not sure why, but personally i really just like their normal names
|
I usually give them names in different languages, or just give them a name that goes with how they look. I have a Feraligatr named Crasher for example.
|
Usually before I get my starter Pokemon, I pic a theme of which I'll name all my Pokemon. For example, when I started Platinum, I chose Dragon Ball Z as my theme, so my main team is named after DBZ stuff.
|
My Personal Favorite Pokemon Nicks:
* Pikachu = Chu, Sparky * Pihcu = Lil Pich, Peach, Chu, Baby Chu * Charizard = Cherry, Char, Zardy * Mudkip = Kipper, Kip, Muddies * Skitty = Skittles, Kittles, Kittit, Skitts * Luvdisc = LuvieDuv, Discuits Haha! :) P.S. = Love Nicknames! :) Support Pokemon Times! :) |
I almost never nick name my Pokemon.
I just think they're names are better as is. |
I always name my trainer Hikari. But, I also give nicknames
to my Pokemon. My Nicknamed Pokemon: Piplup- Mizuki Starly- Tsubasa Beautifly- Sayuri Cherubi- Chiharu Buneary- Megumi Budew- Hanako |
I don't give my Pokemon nicknames unless I really like them and, even then, it doesn't happen that often.
|
I named all my pokemon in Japanese names/words. XD;
Except for a few of them. The only ones I can remember that aren't Japanese are my Muk (PWN-SLIME) and my Kricketot (Mustard). |
i dont usualy give them a nick name but sometimes i do if i feel like it.
eg: i might call my infernape, jerremy, for no particular reason :) its a bit random i gues |
I always keep calling my Pikachu either Sparky, Pika, chu chu. Zparky or Leon >.<
|
I don't know i don't like giving pokemon nicknames, i feel to better leave it off with their own names..
|
I don't nickname legendaries that are one-of-a-kind ('cause it IS their name), but I give people names to pokemon with genders. Genderless ones are the only time I get creative with the names-
|
I sometimes nickname my Pokémon.
Floatzel - Pretzel Torterra - Terra Crobat - Kiva Electivire - Buzzshock I don't really have a theme, just plain random nicknames. |
I usually give my Pokémon names of anything related to their features, type, gender, or nature. :P
|
I love making up names on the spot for my pokemon +'_'+
(ie Tropuis- Belri Electrike-Roake Bulbasuar-Celdi Sentret-Asil Eevee-Vocador) |
Okay well, in Red my nicknames were like this - Charizard - Char Raichu - Chu Alakazam - Zam Dugtrio - Trio Snorlax - Lax Lapras- Ras now there like this Empoleon - Emperuto (Jap name, except swaped the n for m.) Staraptor - CloudNine Roserade - Thorn Heracross - CloseCombat Alakazam - Psycho Jolteon - Lightnin' |
I Did The Same Thing You Did Mate And Used Taro In The Nicknames Lol Like Montaro My Infernape.
|
I nickname all my crogunks Gumpy and my machops Choppy and Woopper Flip Pysduck ducky real stupid ones
|
I named my Bibarel Mr. Beaves. Best nickname EVER.(Say it in a British accent, then you'll see why)
|
It depends. Sometimes, I like to give my Pokemon retarded names, other times, just something totally random. Like "Chopsticks".
|
I always name my Pokemon something different *shrugs* I used to give them all names like "cookie" and "strawberry" but the names I give them now are more like these (which are the Pokemon that make up my Platinum team):
Infernape: Inferno Luxray: Tayzer Gliscor: Blade Leafeon: Cel Weavile: Shenzi Lucario: Zenny |
My nicknames are random. Sometimes they're based on some characteristic of the Pokemon, sometimes I give them a name of someone I know of whom the particular Pokemon reminds me.
The team I am currently working on: Machoke - Oscar (after Oscar de la Hoya) Marshtomp - Zydrate (the name of the drug from Repo! The Genetic Opera) Swellow - Alses (a minor character from Tytania) Kadabra - Xiozan (a pseudonym of a good friend) Mightyena - (the name of previously mentioned friend's dog, who largely resembles a Poochyena) Minun - Sinatra (part of one of my pseudonyms is Sinatra. Plus, I love Ol' Blue Eyes) |
The only one who keeps its nickname every time I play again is McGonnagal, the Mismagius.
|
I give nicknames usually based on the pokemon's name,
like I'd name a female Aggron "Ronnie", & a male Pinsir named "Sir Pin". Sometimes I name them after the charaters they remind me of, like I named my male Buizel "Tails", because the said fox is also orange & bi-tailed, & I name my female Vaporeon after Krystal from Star Fox. Here's the name of my Pokemon in my Platinum team: Gawain (Scizor) I named him "Gawain", after a Knight of the Round table, whom was played by Knuckles on "Sonic & the Black Knight", whom I REALLY named him for, since Knuckles as Gawain is red & has twin swords. Wario (Electivire) I named him Wario because they both are yellow, have a round body, large, muscular arms & short legs. (Heck, Electivire being a electric type macthes Wario's mustache...) Zero (Porygon-Z) I named it Zero, not after the MegaMan X charater, but rather the number, as it starts with a "Z" & I feel a number-based name is perfect for a cyberspace pokemon... Juan (Vaporeon) I named him Juan, after the 8th Gym leader on Pokemon Emerald who uses water pokemon. Donna (Ryyperior) I named her Donna, because Rhydon ends with "Don", & I recall Donna being a actual female name. Giratina I don't nickname my legendaries, as they are supposed to be 1-of-a-kind. I may start naming my legendaries too... If so, I'll name my Giratina "Tina". |
MicBadass
LilFella PussPuss these names just make me laugh and enjoy pokémon more. i think it's kinda fun. why would you call your dog, dog? why not name him?!? haha |
Quote:
like he'd name his Bellsprout "Belldum"! (Yep, he likes making fun of them...) |
Nah, I can't stand it to be honest. I usually prefer to keep mine the way they are unless I don't ever plan on using them.
|
I never really pick nicknames, I prefer the original names. However, during the early days of red/blue/green, I used to name my charmander (all I picked) inferno.
|
I have given nicknames to my pokemon in Platinum.
Eg: Infernape = Chimmy :D |
I usually don't give my Pokemon nicknames. Sometimes I name my starter(s) though, and it's usually after a sword (Katana, Marusame, Kotetsu, ect.)
|
I nickname all my pokemon, except for legendarys~ (It doesn't feel right nicknaming them. XP)
They're all nicknamed after characters from movies/tv shows/mangas/anime, real life people (I named my drapion after myself. 8D), food, random words, or when I can't think of anything I just use the random name generator until I get a name I like. Yep~ |
I never liked nicknaming my Pokemon, not sure why, I do recall nicknaming a Nidoran (went on to be a Nidoking) TNT when I first played the games
|
Nicknaming Pokemon is awesome! I'll probably post a more thorough list at a later time, though. Quickly, here are some starter Pokemon's nicknames (I use ALL CAPS in the games):
Blaziken: Blazer > TrailBlazr (originally nicknamed Blazer in Sapphire; TrailBlaz(e)r signifies the renewal of my Pokemon journey in Emerald, since Torchic :t255: was my first-ever starter. Also indicates my Blaziken's newly increased strength, which will hopefully be evident if I can get a shiny Blaziken!) :t257: Swampert: Crash or Hammer (tentatively) Sceptile: Razor Charizard: Wildfire Blastoise: Blast Boss :) Venusaur: Venom Raichu: Lightning Typhlosion: Override Feraligatr: Thundrclap Meganium: Vitamin C :nervous: Infernape: Crossfire Empoleon: Hatchet or Larry (tentatively) Torterra: Forrester |
Meh, I just gave them nicknames that I thought would work best.
-Starmie/Starscream -Porygon Z/Epilepsy Z -Garchomp/Sylar (Heroes fan =D) -Dusknoir/Grim Raper -Skarmory/Pecker XD(was supposed to be paired with a Marowak called Boner for some uncalled for innuendo) -Gallade/Masamune -Metagross/Ironman |
Hitmonchan - Rocky
Hitmonlee - Bruce Blaziken - Blaze Shiny Ponyta - Blue flame etc. |
I nicknamed mine after the seven dragons of Deltora. It's from this book called Deltora Quest. I read it when i was younger and thought they were cool. lol
Last year i played Emerald and gave them random Japanese or Latin names for some reason. |
For the last game I had, my main party:
Infernape - Cheeky (because he's a cheeky monkey) Golduck - Dafty (because Psyduck's daft!) Luxray - Ben (because he's a mouse) Graveler - Stoner (later replaced by Aggron with no nickname) Dialga - Tardis (because he controls time like the Doctor's time machine!) I also had the Abra, Kaaza, that I traded in-game for I think, that evolved into Kadabra. |
I usually do something witty.
Current Diamond file: Infernape-Death Mach Jolteon-Doom [ShinySOFTRESET]Bastidon-Reaper Gyarados-Killer Salamence-Blood Dialga-Fluffy SO MUCH WIN. |
I never nickname my pokemon, but when I was
little I did. I named my onyx rocknroll. Hahaha |
I always give Cute Names and i got Cute Pokemons like:
Poochie! Sweetie! Kisses! Cherry! Haha hope you like mines. |
Usually I don't like nicknaming pokemon. Don't know why, it just bugs me. I always nickname my starters though, since they're a little more personal to me. =P So...
In Fire Red, my Blastoise is named Yin. In Sapphire, my Blaziken is named Fire Blaze (I was young and stupid xD) And in Pearl, my Infernape is named Monkey (it sounds stupid, but anyone who's read "Journey to the West" knows that it's actually EPIC.) And one of my sisters has made it her goal to name every pokemon in her Pearl game after some food or drink. And so far, she's succeeded. xD |
I give them nicknames, or at least if I'm able to give them nicknames. Half my pokémon team consists of traded pokémon :p
|
Snorlax, Bronzong, and Blissey = Tank or Fatass.
Ferligatr = SteveIrwin Heracross = Chuck Norris Gengar = ****** |
Team I currently run is called Deck of Cards:
King - Gyarados Deuce- Tyranitar Joker - Infernape Jack - Flygon Queen - Salamence Ace - Scizor |
my pokemon have odd nicknames....
Umbreon-Deovie(i just made that up out of the blue) Raichu-Sparky(Pretty obvious) Empoleon-Penguin(It looks like one) Staraptor-Laci(After the lead singer of flyleaf) Sandshrew-Bille(Believe it or not...my sandshrew is a girl i so i spelt the name diffrently to make it sound feminine) Slowpoke-Peppy(whatttt..i was only 6 years old) Espeon-Daveyhavok(i am a HUGE AFI fan) Meganium-Mocha(My favorite caffinated drink) Venasuar-Vert(French for green) Mr.Mime-Minimime(I got him when he was a mime JR...then he evolved and the name kinda stuck) Carnivine-Root(Well....it does look like one) Gyrados-Aqua(water type...i also like the band aqua) Armagadon-Ho-oh(Fire type...it works) Lugia-Loki(yes i am a mythology geek) Lanturn-Olokun(another mythological name) Snorlax-Bertha(Female snorlax and named after both size and gym leader) Blastoise-Marlow(Random....) Spinda-Spindizy(Pretty obvious) i have other pokemon with nicknames as well |
Well I don't usually nickname my pokemon much but I nicknamed some:
Lira-torchic; Fem-swellow and Fant-Gyarados.. |
These are the nicknames i give my pokemons
Infernape - Blaze Staraptor - Raptor Lumineon - Winx |
It depends on that type of Pokemon. For my main who I just like and bring everywhere (starter) I tend to give them a nickname like my pet's irl name.
|
It depends on the Pokemon, really. :3 Some of my nicknames include these:
Persian: Fishstick Clefairy: Fruitbowl Sandslash: LORD SALSA ( My favorite one. <3 ) Oddish: Taco Salad Raticate: Cheesepuff etc etc etc. :3 I sometimes also name them after Anime characters and such. All depends on which game, and my mood when I catch it. |
I give my pocket monsters names after weather terms.
Too many to list, really. D: |
I tend to do one of the following:
a) name it after something I've eaten recently b) name it something that it looks like c) randomly select 4-9 letters that seem like they'd be a cool name There are also multiple Pokémon in my FireRed that are named "Chair" for some reason. |
I usually name them after real life names, or dirty things. Which i won't name here. Other then that i sometimes name them random stuff i think up.
|
i liek to niknam my pokemonn poop and othe funnny names because i lol
im so witty |
I generally nickname only my competitive teams as I like them to have themes. My 'play through' team, nah. I just let'm keep there normal names.
|
Quote:
Same here... :) I like to keep the real names. |
I rarely actually give my Pokemon Nicknames, but sometimes I give my favorite Pokemon my pet's name, but thats about it.
|
No, I don't like giving out nicknames. I'm not good at thinking up good nicknames for Pokemon and I am also not good at remembering names either so I don't bother with them. :P
|
when i am doing monotype challenges, i nickname my entire team, but other than that i really don't do it
|
DO you nickname your pokemon?
do you nickname your pokemon? if so how do you decide your nicknames?
|
I do. Generally something Japanese. ;). In Pearl, say, I got a Piplup named Shugo, a Shinx called Rena, and a Gible called Sakura. ;D
|
I nickname the shiny pokemon I capture. I don't intentionally go looking for them, which is the reason for nicknaming them.
|
Mostly i just nickname shiny pokemon as well. Or i name pokemon i use in battles which generally have terrible nicknames.
|
I nickname the Pokémon on my main team, because after a while it gets quite straining to think of names for everything I catch.
I try not to use generic names, or Japanese names, because man are they overused xD; My favourite team member of the moment is my Gastrodon, named Excalibur 8D |
I never used to, as I could never be bothered to think of any decent names. xD; With my most recent playthrough of Platinum, however, I made the effort with nicknames.
|
on occasion. sometimes I'll decide to name everything I catch but most of the time I just leave them as is.
|
Sometimes, though it's not very often and I haven't for a while. Generally, i'm not great at choosing decent nicknames so I avoid it completely.
|
For the most part I don't. My Jolteon is always Joltee and Pikachu is always Ka-Chu, even though I usually don't bother much with Pikachu after the water gym.
|
I only tend to nickname the Pokemon in my party or if i encounter something rare. Also when i nickname i use something simple - Espeon: Esper.
|
Well yeah, Sometimes i always give a nickname but if the nickname doesn't fit. Then no! xD.
~Fairytales. |
I gave my Pokemon nicknames, e.g. my Umbreon Moonlight and my Gyarados Leviator, but sometime you don't know what nicknames you should give the Pokemon, and in my opinion, either every Pokemon in team should have a nickname or none. Anyway, my favourite nickname was Serenety for Togekiss because it's a wonderful name and remembers to his ability Serene Grace.
|
I've never nicknamed my Pokemon before.
|
I usually don't, but on my play through on Platinum I bred a Pichu w/Volt Tackle and NNed him Sparky (Yes is was after Ritche's Pikachu)
|
No, I don't nickname them ;) It's just annoying to me.
|
I only nickname my pokemon when I'm extremely bored.
I just nickname them on whatever I feel like they look like. Anyways I haven't nicknamed any of my pokemon since when I first got Sapphire which was years ago. |
no i just sometimes nickname them if im going to trade them so my friend cant change it and be stuck with it
|
Tangrowth: 00berN00dl =D
Togekiss: Serenety, remembering its ability Serene Grace Gengar: Ectoplasma, after his french name Gyarados: Leviator, after his french name Scizor: Red Claw Snorlax: Bliss' Bro, because its as fat as Blissey =D Some of nicknames i gave my Pokemon. |
I only nickname my pokemon if there original names don't suit them, they usually look somehing a "Dave" or "Chad", so i'd change them to that or something else >.>
|
Every single one. XD If I can. :P
There isn't one Pokemon I haven't nicknamed so far. :P (Apart from ones I get in trades, such as Darkrai [though I lost it. XD]) I named my Empoleon Arc, Espeon Sunny, Tangrowth Medusa (I'm so mean XD), Magnezone Lightning and my Houndoom Roxy. :D This is just my main team on Platinum, btw. Oh, and I forgot my Garchomps name. XD |
I never nickname my Pokemon. I can't come up with any that I think are good enough, and I'd hate to have to deal with the Name Rater just to switch back to it's species name after I sat for an hour thinking up a name I ended up disliking. x3
|
I never nickname my pokemon. I feel silly doing it and it's an inconvience for trades when people are like "I dun't want this, it has a nick name" :<
|
most of the time, I don't nick it...
|
Ever since RSE, I've picked a certain theme to base my Pokemon nicknames off of. For Platinum, my theme was Dragon Ball Z and to give an example, I named my Chimchar Saiyan.
|
I never nickname, just prefer using there actual names.
|
I just change their names from all uppercase to the first letter uppercase and the rest lowercase. The names in all uppercase letters are ugly to me.
|
I don't really see a point to it.
|
Nope, not here. I have always stuck wit the traditional sticking with the original names. Something that I don't plan on changing either but thats just me.
|
I did when I was little, but not anymore. It's kind of a hassel in trades :/
|
I always nickname my main team, but don't bother with other Pokemon.
|
No I do not because for some odd reason I seem silly for doing it because most - all of the people seen in the pokemon games have normal named pokemon, and well I want to fit in even though the people in it don't exist <_<
|
I cant stand not naming my pokemon.
And how do i come up with a name? I think of a name thats how, i perfer using human names though. Pet names for pokemon are obnoxious. |
I really hate the capital names so I always name them after their final evolution with small letters;
So TURTWIG becomes Torterra, CHIMCHAR Infernape, etc, etc. Not really nicknames, but still... |
The only time I ever name my pokemon are when I can think up a really smart or witty name for them. Other than that I think giving pokemon nick names is a hassle.
|
i always name my pokemon a retard
i love it with todidiles rage Quote:
|
i usely dnt give ncknms but if i do its usely
takeahike, away or crap GO takeahike GO away GO crap get the picture ^_^ |
i like to go online and search like for example in japanese chou means butterfly so i name my butterfree chou
|
I've got a great one. I once named my Blastoise, "Blaistose". ISN'T THAT COOL OR WHAT?
