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

Snivi October 8th, 2008 12:58 AM

None - I tend to let them keep the name they were given.

Azzurra October 8th, 2008 1:11 AM

I don't really like giving nicknames to my Pokemon, because I can't think of anything funny/cool to name them anyways.

Grizzle October 8th, 2008 4:04 AM

I don't usually give my Pokemon nicknames, but on my current file I have.
Torterra-Tartle
Staravia-Spaz

--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.

Clouddyl October 8th, 2008 9:13 AM

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

Trainer Kat October 8th, 2008 10:44 AM

I typically give my Pokémon mythological names, depending on my mood. Other times, I'm just a jerk.

Favorites.

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.

Pokepal17 October 8th, 2008 11:16 AM

I call Suicune "Rex", Celebi "Serebii" & Lucario "Lucius"

Mōnštȝr¿ October 8th, 2008 12:57 PM

I give no nicknames...
They aren't worth anything..

Lynnx October 8th, 2008 1:34 PM

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.

My most recent Dustox is named Pidgeot. xDD

Oh really? xD Awesome!
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
