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

Sydian August 11th, 2009 6:41 PM

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

Megaman765 August 11th, 2009 6:47 PM

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.

Timbjerr August 11th, 2009 9:15 PM

For Rotom? "Poltrguyst" sounds cool, but is independent of form...

For mower form specifically, I'd go with "Blak&Deckr" XD

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

JukainPwns August 21st, 2009 2:54 PM

TrainerJen August 21st, 2009 3:29 PM

Yup i always give them nicknames.
For example:
Pikachu- Pika

Sakura Rain August 21st, 2009 3:30 PM

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

SLEaman August 21st, 2009 3:41 PM

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.

Royal Squirt August 21st, 2009 3:53 PM

I don't tend to nickname any of my Pokemon, so I'ma have to pick no :P

PsychoJigglypuff August 21st, 2009 8:10 PM

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

Zero° August 21st, 2009 8:14 PM

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

PokéAddict August 21st, 2009 8:40 PM

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

♣Gawain♣ August 21st, 2009 11:17 PM

^ your siggy's too big XD

I currently named Empoleon Nikolas, and Snorlax Fatman.

Kitsune Genetica August 22nd, 2009 2:20 PM

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

magrathean August 22nd, 2009 2:25 PM

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.

Apostrophe August 23rd, 2009 11:15 AM

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).

xxxLatiasxxx August 23rd, 2009 2:57 PM

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.

thegeneticway August 23rd, 2009 2:59 PM

Sometimes. Not usually though.

Like I named My torchic Torch in Ruby.

And Blaze when it evolved into Blaziken

SquishyShellos September 3rd, 2009 7:22 AM
