i name some of my pokemon (usually my favorites) like naming my Eevee, CutieV or my Ponyta/Rapidash, Entai
|
I usually name my poke's after people i know.
I named my Empoleon "Hadrian", my Gardevoir "Aether", my Torterra "Vendetta", my Togepi "Ste-Phunny" (my friend stephanie named it, not me lol) |
I tend to name 'em. Right now I'm doing the Ultimate Monotype Challenge, and I've been naming them the same thing from generation to generation. Like all my Nidokings are called "Lord" and all my Golbata and Crobats are names "Archer". They're all kinda along the lines of medieval times and mythology.
|
I'm on of the few that doesnt nickname
|
I nickname most of my Pokemon. It's fun thinking up some awesome name.
|
I either...
- Let them be called what they are usually called - Give them a weird name if i don't use them (like iLiek for a Mudkipz and SexyBeast/Sexmaker for Ditto) - Japanese name they are usually called in Japanese version - Japanese/History/Comic reference name. (Stalin for Registeel (AKA Man of Steel) or Iceman for Regice or Kaisen for Zangoose since Kaisen is Japanese for Battle and Zangoose battles Seviper - Random name i think is cool at first then hate later (Like Astro for Gastly) |
i called my Wobuffet "Reychesta"
|
Machoke - Macca
Altaria - Taria Flygon - Ace Ludicolo - Luigi Magneton - Magneto Wailord - Lordiver Jynx - Kyss Venusaur - Forrest Typhlosion - Ty Scizor - Red Sceptile - Terra Togekiss - Happz Milotic - Milo Swampert - Kipper Masquerain - Rainer Houndoom - Darko Dragonite - Nitro Metagross - Metaman I like nicknames especially in R/S/E due to PokeContests and what not. |
I used to give my pokemon 5 lettered names
now their 8 lettered EXAMPLE- water types:Atlantic fire types:Heatwave elec types:Lighting and so on |
I usually nickname my pokemon if i can think of anything at the time. I have thought up a few funny ones, like Meditite which i called Onion XD Well, because its head looks like an onion! And Machop was Toaster because it looks like its got bread coming out of its head. lol
|
I don't really name mine anymore, but in one of the old games (kanto) I had blastoise called bubbles and a caterpie called macho, funny!
|
|
I normally base my nicknames around latin translations. For example, I named my Crobat "Virus" and my Torterra "Ortus" after the latin names for "Poison" and "Garden" respectively.
|
I basically name my Pokemon on how I think they look. IE. My Infernape is Sun Wukong from the Journey West and my Machamp is Titan cause... well he's huge and hits like a truck XD
|
I do a mixture of naming them after their Japanese counterparts and shortened versions of their original names.
|
I always have to nickname mine... I hate the CAPS ABUSE OF THE NORMAL NAMES. They're usually non-silly, or often references to other things. Examples:
|
My favorites :
Umbreon - Midnight Ninetales - Volcano Cloyster - Coldy Charizard - Pixy Lol I know they aren't exactly original, but I liked those the most |
I used to call my roserade 'ROSE RED'. Now that is not very different :/. Garchomp was called 'DRACONIUM' after the dragon booster anime. I niknamed my Infernape 'DEMOLISHER' as it was used for sweeping in- game. I niknamed my snorlax ' BOOM BLAST' for no apparent reason :/. My empoleon 'AQUA BLAST' as it was water type and I was not able to come up with some other name.
|
My current team in Ruby
Lariron-Athena Kadabra-Iorek Machoke-Damme Manectric-Jolt Swampert-Smelly Mightyena-Padri My favorite nicknames were a Feraligatar called "spoon" and two Mightyenas' called "Che" and "che ii" .It makes the game more fun :) |
Yes, i do :)
Well most of the time. Jolteon - Eonz (My partnert pokemon) Latios - a potato (it's funny :D 'Ellis sent out a potato' Charizard - Flarewing Infernape - Goldflame Garchomp - Shark head Jirachi - Asteroid |
I always give Nicknames to my Pokemon as it individualises them, and In Diamond all my nicknames end in '-oid.'
Examples: Torterra- Turtoid (Turtle & Oid) Roselia- Petoid (Petal & Oid) Abomasnow- Snovoid (Snover & Oid) Vileplume- Plantoid (Plant & Oid) Tropius- Tropicoid (Tropical & Oid) Ludilicolo- Tadoid (Lotad & Oid) Cacturne- Spikoid (Spike & Oid) Cherrim- Cherroid (Cherry & Oid) etc. I have a thing for the grass types. |
Lol my friend always named his Pokies something related to them and i played his game for a while when he was at band camp. Here they are:
Muk: Sludgey Arcanine: Blazeron Raichu: Taxi Victreebell: Bell Blastoise: Aquapump Alakazam: Albert Mewtwo: Psychs Raticate: Chompers Moltres: Pyromaniac Dragonite: Godnillawafer (and yes that was to long for the text box but we stilled called him that) |
I've only recently begun nicknaming. Though some names i have used are Taco Bell (Bronzong), Pornagon (Porygon) and such. XD
|
I've only ever named my Mismagius Marisa
That's about it |
I usually just give them the decapitalized version of their fully evolved form.
i.e. CHARMANDER would be given Charizard as a name. (it wasn't a hard concept but I wanted to explain it anyway) In my Fire challenge for Pearl I hatched all the non-Sinnoh fire starters and switched their names around: Charizard is named Typhlosion Typhlosion -> Blaziken Blaziken -> Infernape Infernape -> Charizard. And In my DuoSpecies Challenge I named: My Lotad---Cocoa Rain My Abra----Nilla Snow For the team that I'm slowly training for wi-fi I have so far: Skywalker----------Lucario (Luke Skywalker) RAWR---------------Garchomp MC Hammer-------Blissey Just some random names: Bruce-------------My shiny Bronzong (Bruce Banner is the Hulk) Jimbafatso------Most Snorlax/Hariyama I catch (From Ed, Edd, n Eddy) Tyrella------------Tyranitar from Colosseum (It was a girl) Ag Bullet--------Skarmory (Ag is silver...yeah it's nerdy) Ugly Baby-------Milotic (creative...I know) |
I always give a nickname to all of my pokemon. Because then they're special, they're not just some random pokemon, it's MY pokemon.
:3 |
i like to stick with the names they were originally givin it just feels better
|
I named my Gardevoir Helena! Because she's so beautiful! (If you know Greek myths you know why I named her Helena...)
Kyogre-Seashore Dialga-Dragonhead Roselia with mind reader-RoseReader Groudon-EarthShake Mewtwo-Anti-Mew Torterra-Terrapin(SUPER MARIO RPG LOL!!!) Gliscor-Batman |
Sometimes I give my Pokemon nicknames that sound like their original names:
Bastiodon: Bastion Cradily: Dilan (i'm particularly proud of this lol don't know why) Lucario: Luca Although some of them are competely random, i mean, wtf, i called my Cranidos, Larry! XD |
I give nicknames to those where I find it's a good nickname for them.
Starly: Starlight Turtwig: Turk Bellsprout: Bellend Weepingbell: Weepingballs Victrebell: Victrebollocks |
I like to give pokemon nicknames..
I started a pokemon ruby game recently [Duo Species Challenge] And I named my Wingull --- Latios. Lol. Alakazam --- PSYCHO Gardevoir --- PSY-FI. :D |
I never nickname my Pokémon. Dunno why, though, it just doesn't feel right.
|
I feel that certain Pokemon are screaming for nicknames. Or it could be because I just don't like the name period. I nickname probably 7% of my Pokemon. Afterall, they are my sweeties, something has to separate them from the rest of those darn trainers you battle every day. Here are a few I can wiggle out of my head for the moment. Empoleon ~ Mizuru Luxray ~ Lust Driftloon ~ Hollow Lopunny ~ Caramel or Karma (switching between the two.) Leafeon ~ Leafia I only like names with a meaning. I'm not fond of the names people give their Pokemon, like something funny or unreasonable. Or something just wrong. But its their business. >.> |
I usually do nickname my Pokémon, but sometimes I don't... it all depends to be honest ^^;

I always named my pokémon since when I first started playing. The only time I wont name my pokémon is when they are legendary, but sometimes I do name my legendaries.
My favorite nicknames: (In Emerald) Belle or Bella, my Gardevoir (NOT because of the "Twilight" series, but because the names mean "beautiful") Lovetta, my Meganium Lucy, my Chansey Scarlett, my Vulpix Metroid, my Beldum Puddin, my Arcanine Luna-Mizu, my Lapras Victoria, my Absol Ada Lyn, Ballet, Brink, Dolly, Lola Lovey, Mod, Nadine Lae, and Serina, my female Eevees (In Pearl) Exy, my Meowth (I went to a website that had a chat thing and "Exy" was an username and I just fell inlove with the name) Windee, my Pidgeot (my first caught pokémon ever was a pidgy and I always named them something that had "wind" in the name) Pimp Ruto, my Empoleon Madeusa, my Mitlotic Skipper, my Swampert Fabio, my Turtwig Ciro, my Espeon Meany, my Gyarados Jinx, my Alakazam Xal Vador, my Luxray Havic, my Rotom Bety Lou, my Miltank Lastat, my Feebas Miltrude, my Glaceon Chu, my Leafeon Lovely Lil, my Umbreon Korn Cobe, my Nuzleaf Elmo, my Mesprit Spacer, my Palkia Topsy, my Giratina Lectro, my Raikou Hydro, my Suicune and finaly my last favorite nickname Pyro, my Entei Sorry if that is a long list. I hope that someone finds them okay and what not. |
Here is my main team
Absol- Cahos Scisor- DScythe Gardevoir-Gravity Snorlax- RedM&M Altaria- Bluesky Charizard- Inferno |
I rarely give nick names and the owns I give the nicknames to always seem to later be in my team and are my favorite
josiah=blazeakanin ace=straptor sparkey=pichachu |
The only one I ever really nicknamed was my Piplup. I called it Happyfoot, because the movie Happy Feet came out when I got it.
|
I never nickname my pokémon.
|
I usually name them the first thing that comes to mind. I just got a female Charmander on LeafGreen and decided to name her Jessie. Then I got a Pidgey and named her Cedar. But the worst and most random names of all are my Emerald names.
Lara Croft/ Blaziken Car Wax/ Alakazam SolidSnake/ Metagross SuperIgloo/ Aggron McFlurry/ Walrein Dinner/ Shelgon The all time worst name I came up with was Horny the Rhyhorn. I was in 6th grade and didn't know what it was until my friends told me...it wasn't fun. It was a girl too...and I still have her, but she's a Rhydon named Conifer now. |
Ooooo. I love nicknaming my Pokemon. Although at times I'm not creative with them I do find creating them entertaining. Here are some of the names I made for my in-game team in Platinum.
Empoleon- Misuzu Togekiss- Cootie Gliscor-Robin Frosslass- Princess Gardevoir- Diva |
I mostly give simple names to my Pokemon or sometimes I give them a bit of a name that refer to the type like my Platinum team
Apollo/Monferno Sparky/Luxio Storm/Starvia Cloud/Driftblum Tails/Buizel |
My nicknames are often alternatives to their origional names.
Treeterror-Torterra Huntkrow-Honchkrow and so on... |
I named by Buizel Tails too!! xD of course I think its probably a popular name for the litte critter. I don't usually nickname my Pokemon, only the ones that I try to have in my final team. Most of their names usually have a meaning behind them or have to do with the type of pokemon they are like some of mine are:
Leader/Staraptor Tails/Buizel Sparkle/Pikachu Sparky/Pikachu with Volt Tackle Alterio/Umbreon (has something to do with night I forget...) Helaku/Espeon (has something to do with day I think) Dragon/Charizard Ryu/Charmeleon (it means Dragon in Japanese ^_^) And I have tons more...of course I ran into a person who named all their pokemon after food..really weird but funny |
That really depends on my mood...
When I began playing Pokémon, I used the name of a Pokémon and modified it slightly. Mudkip/Kippi. It's now a lv 100 Swampert, so "Kippi" sounds ridiclous. Wingull/Winda. It's now a lv 100 Pelipper, but I still like the name. Spheal/SEAL. Yeah, that nickname sucks XD My current names are usually nouns. Charmander/Flare, for example. Then I had a period with names that just sounded fitting. Seviper/Seiwe Zubat/Zede Vileplum/Noe And then the "all girl team" period... Oddish/Miss Petal Wingull/Queen Sea Wingull/Lady Ocean So it differs a lot xD |
i name all my bird pokemon Ace
|
I don't really nickname but I do have one pokemon with a nickname, It is a Dragonite called Draco.
|
I don't nickname my Pokemon
|
And now for even more of my Pokemon nicknames!
Well first of all, I mentioned in my last post that I have a bunch of Harry Potter-themed Pokemon nicknames. Right now, I'm also in the slow process of building a list of Lord of the Rings-themed nicknames as well. So far I have: Sableye: Gollum (mentioned in my last post) Registeel: Mithril Ponyta: Shadowfax (will make more sense when he becomes a Rapidash) Torterra: Bombadil (previously named Pangaia...) Gabite: Moria Charizard: Smaug (Actually, Smaug's from The Hobbit, but close enough...) I'll add to this list once I start catching the legendaries... especially Giratina, Heatran, and the psychic trio, and maybe Dialga as well. I know exactly what to name them. ^_^ Other nicknames: Cherubi: Jubilee Monferno: Imp Luxio: Electra Gardevoir: Guinevere Gallade: Arthur Xatu: Shaman Mightyena: Ohkami (Japanese for wolf) Seviper: Slytherin (I guess I'm still working on the Harry Potter theme) Floatzel: Weasley (Likewise) Bronzor: Ferrum (Latin for iron) Teddiursa: Princess (because the "Hime" part of its Japanese name means "princess") Milotic: Dreamboat Relicanth: Granny Lanturn: Lumiere (French for light) Hypno: Mesmeria Vaporeon: Triton Jolteon: Static Flareon: Foxy Espeon: Akamaru Umbreon: Black Cat Leafeon: Leif Glaceon: Jackfrost Rotom: Robomaster Aipom: Dexter |
i find when i am trading, pokemon with nicknames dont trade as well as one without
as alot of people like them to be UT, mainly on shinys, events, etc... so i keep all mine without nicknames, as i think it ruins there value if at some point i want to trade them. |
Pokemon nickname request/showoff thread
My current pokemon that are nicknamed are....
Porygon-Z: Skype Typhlosion: Chase (This was the nickname it had when I got it in a trade so I might as well stick with it) Right now I'm having trouble nicknaming my Rotom (Lawn mower form) I was thinking of nicknaming it "Hacker" but I think people would get the wrong impression about it :p |
You wouldn't be able to change Chase's name anyway because it's from a trade. As for Mower Rotom:
Motor Sawyer Rayzr/Razor |
Acutally I had to do some rebreeding so it would be a mild nature :p I still decided to keep its name as chase anyways. It sounds cool.
|
For Rotom? "Poltrguyst" sounds cool, but is independent of form...
For mower form specifically, I'd go with "Blak&Deckr" XD |
Mowie.
Grascutr Grassy Whoot :) |
Drifblim---------------------------------> Kuukaroon a mixture of air in japanese and balloon in English
:t354:TG |
Make it something funny, like "iEatGrass".
Anyway, my Pokemon nicknames make no sense at all... Pidgeot- "Wingo Starr" (After Ringo Starr) Cloyster- "Auroracorn" (Aurora Beam + That horn on his head) AND THE STUPIDEST ONE OF THEM ALL... Arcanine- "Fog" (Combination of the words "Fire" and "Dog") |
The best nickname ive ever given to a pokemon is my magmortar named beefcake it fits so well
|
I always nickame my pokemon the best name i think i came up with was my areodactyls name which was LandB4Time
|
Yup i always give them nicknames.
For example: Pikachu- Pika |
It's so fun to nickname pokemon. ^__^
On my Platinum file, I have: Torterra - Naoki Lapras - Tsunami Arcanine - Hikaru Dragonite - Tsuyu Electivire - Kakiiro Cresselia - Hanami |
My Electivire was named "ElectObama" for a while, it sparked chuckles for many of my matches over wifi.
My Drifblim's named "Spiritdaway" After the Miyazaki movie My Metagross is named "Shinkansen" after the Bullet Train, because it has Bullet Punch(yeah, bad joke) I usually name all my competitive pokemon, but those were the best I could think of on the top of my head. |
I don't tend to nickname any of my Pokemon, so I'ma have to pick no :P
|
These are some of my more recent ones:
Fushimaru Glimaru Battoko Kameko Youma-dono I now have a tendency to end the names with -maru if it's a male, -ko if it's a female, or random suffixes if it has no gender... Don't ask me why. >.> I also like to name some of them after random internet memes, anime characters, or just silly things in general. Some of my favorites are: Chi-chi-chia Excalibur Sassypants Twinkletoes Cuban Pete ORLY? Nyoro~n IAmABanana |
On Pearl, I'm naming every Pokemon depending on the first letter in their name:
Bob the Bidoof Sean the Shinx Etc. I thought it would be funny, and it is XD |
Lol I just Pick a letter (ex. J) then i think.... hmm what to say with that letter (ex. Jiko -male- Junni -female-) lol and I name my pokemon when I like them
|
^ your siggy's too big XD
I currently named Empoleon Nikolas, and Snorlax Fatman. |
I give my Pokemon names that reflect deeper meaning, like my Gardevoir and Gallade- "Zenith" and "Nadir" respectively. This reflects the serene nature of the Gardevoir (Zenith- the paragon of good) and the somewhat more aggressive nature of the Gallade (Nadir- the paragon of evil/dark). Sort of like Yin and Yang. What's important in a nickname is that they mean something to you personally, it reflects your preferences and opinions, and it shouldn't matter if nobody else understands them.
Plus, they sound cool in a Double Battle. :P |
I used to give mine nicknames all the time, but since I started Platinum, I haven't bothered.
However, in my Fire Red version, I let my friends nickname all my Pokemon. My boyfriend named my Caterpie "Catercake." (: It's level 100 now hahaha. |
I always name my Pokemon after American presidents. Sometimes the type actually determines what president I name it after (Kennedy the Pidgeot being a reference to the Kennedy Airport), while others are completely random (Roosevelt the Furret).
|
I like to nickname my pokemon all one name and that name is Taffy after a dog we had. To me it seems to fit with any pokemon as long as the pokemon is genderless or female yeah I know I'm odd like that.
|
Sometimes. Not usually though.
Like I named My torchic Torch in Ruby. And Blaze when it evolved into Blaziken |
I have great names for my two shellos!
West sea-Slippy East sea-Sticky :D Great for 2-2! |
Heres my Nicknamed Pokemon
Torterra-Behemoth Houndoom-Hell Hound Electrivive-ThunderKng Magmortar-FlameKing Dialga-TimeMaster Palkia-SpaceMstr Haunter-Nightmare {Wish i could get it traded and traded back to get him as Gengar T_T) Darkrai-NightTeror Giratina-GeistDrgn Lucario-MaskedFist Wobbuffet-Catch (to catch the fly fleeing legendaries Lileep-AcientBlom (i wanted to put AcientBloom) Yanmega-DragonFly Ditto-CopyCat Snover-SnowMan Castform-MirageCloud Makuhita-Sumo Wailmer-Whale Smeargle-Artist Kingler-TheClaw |

Some of them are nicknamed, and some aren't. xD Currently, A few that I have are: BIRDY the Blaziken (my 1st pokemon <3) Pengi the Empoleon Sparky the Luxray And my theme team members (shiny, inter-changeable, & in progress/training); Ike the Gallade Soren the Umbreon Reyson the Altaria Tibarn the Staraptor Naesala the Honchkrow Haar the Garchomp Nailah the Ninetails Volug the Mightyena and then I usually just put the other pokemon's names in lower case. |
All my pokemon are nicknamed:
Omnimie the Honchkrow (female) Rumpy the Rampardos (male) Matrix the Lugia Karmon the Manectric (male) Silver the Umbreon (male) Venelo the Crobat (male) Blaze the Espeon (female) Conway the Houndoom (male) Mallo the Alakazam (male) Espa Roba the Espeon(male), guess where I got the name Cody the Vaporeon (Male) Flash the Jolteon (Male) Ember the Flareon (Female) Sapphire the Kyogre Emerald the Rayquaza Bakuma the Salamence (male) Carmen the Pidgeot (female) Lucky the Empoleon (male) Enrique the Absol (male) Okami the Mightyena (female) Rush the Linoone (male) Crystal the Glameow (female) Neones the latios Nabuka the Tauros Zipper the Flygon (male) Sassy the Moltres Pappy the Zapdos Snowball the Articuno Diamond the Dialga Pearl the Palkia Crunchy the Giratina Willus the Golduck (Male) Ruby the Ninetales (female) Crater the Groudon Kallis the Sandslash (male) funny thing is, I thought I made this word up, trying to find something rhyming with Malice...I got Kallis, which I thought was made up by me, until i heard it on a commercial..... I have more but I don't want to list them all, because the list would be waaay too long, a lot of them are unique and original, no? =D |
Yes I do, give my pokemon nicknames, =]
here are some: IRockUSuck the Tyranitar B-B-B-Beak the Honchkrow ImmaKing the Empoleon LazyGiant the Snorlax Hadou the Lucario SyroBlade the Gallade BadBite the Garchomp I Bite You the Gyarados |
Quote:
|
BLAZIKEN - Blaziken
GARDEVOIR - Gardevoir I prefer when they have Lowercase names :P Thats all I do though. |
TECHNICALLY I do nickname. But all I ever do is put the nickname of the pokemon as its species name, except lowercase with a capital initial. Just like the post above me. LOL!
