i always thought about naming mine but i thought it might get annoying after a while.

Vernikova November 14th, 2008 2:27 PM

There's no point for me. I never saw the attraction for it.

There was already a thread on the topic of nicknames :[ But since this was moved from somewhere else, then I guess I shouldn't have expected you to check for an existing one.

I always do because it personalizes it, especially were I to catch/train multiple. One of my favorites is a Swellow named Birnadette. I think I was thinking of Bird-nadette but it just somehow stayed an actual name.

Sometimes if I catch Pokemon for a purpose I'll name them that. I had a Raltz, Wurmple, and others named "TRADE". Once I actually decided to train one, which was weird because then it was like "Your TRADE evolved into a Mightyena!".

The only nicknames I give are to the Unown, just to identify what letter they are.

Tristank1 November 15th, 2008 7:21 AM

Stuart444 November 17th, 2008 2:21 PM

I never nickname my pokemon but thinking about it these days.....when I got Sapphire for the first time, I wish I named my Cyndaquil (sp?) Blaze just for a specific nickname when he evolved into Blaziken >_>

meh, maybe I should start nicknaming my pokemon again XD

Silhouette November 17th, 2008 2:43 PM

I tend to nickname Pokémon an alteration of their actual name. For example, Ampharos would be Rapharam. Kinda like that. Or, if it just sounds kewl at the moment, I'd also use it. Like Zemquick, the Luxray (named before I found out it wasn't all that fast). I suppose I'll list my cooler nicknames that I've done:

Diamnaga, Dialga
Patiku, Pikachu
Bloo, Empoleon (I just like that one ^^)
Pialkia, Palkia
Tartynitar, Tyranitar
Skyblade X, Skarmory (only because I could fit the 'X')
And so on.

Chao November 17th, 2008 2:54 PM

I never actually nickname them in-game but when I use a Pokemon for a while I end calling it by some shortened name in my head. Like, if my spheal is low on HP I'll find myself thinking "Live Sphee! Live!"

ANARCHit3cht November 17th, 2008 2:59 PM

I usually give stupid names, but now I am trying and will succeed to give names with a deeper meaning.

Like, the last pokémon I nicknamed was a Solrock. I named it Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun Goddess.

The Crobat Man November 17th, 2008 3:05 PM

I named myself (on fire red) trogdor and my rival Chubby.

But I named my squirtle Leonardo because hes a turtle and hes a frickin ninja!!!

I usually nickname them, but I think in earlier games, like Red, I never did. I can't speak for other titles before the GBA ones.

On my DS version I did name them after FFXII characters:
Empoleon: Drace (yes, it's a female!)
Rapidash: Basch
Gengar: Bergan
Staraptor: Ghis
Luxray: Gabranth
Leafeon: Zargabaath

As for Sapphire, after UK Gladiators:

Blaziken: Inferno (f)
Absol: Oblivion (m)
Flygon: Atlas (m)
Manectric: Spartan (m)
Gyarados: Tempest (f)
Lairon: Battleaxe (f)


And for FireRed, I named them after cousins and a close friend of mine:

Wartortle: Fox (m)
Pidgeotto: Ciara (f)
Kadabra: Mark (my friend)
Nidorino: Reace
Nidorina: Kimberley

I'm also going to use Hitmonlee and call it Theo :)

Renneh November 23rd, 2008 4:10 AM

Turtwig (sp?)- Tarzan ahahaha I use the nicknames so much I forget how to spell the new names.

Raven
