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) |
