Lately, I have been naming my Pokemon after musicians, depending on what is appropriate or what I am listening to at the time.
For example: Scyther - Slash Roserade - Axl R. Blissey - Courtney L. Tyranitar - Steve H. Abomasnow - Lemmy K. I went with a 90s rock/grunge theme for my Eevee evolutions: Eevee - Andy W. Vaporeon - Eddie V. Jolteon - Kurt C. Flareon - Scott W. Espeon - Chris C. Umbreon - Layne S. Glaceon - Billy C. Leafeon - Perry F. I also went with a Metallica theme for my fossils: Bastiodon - James H. Cradily - Kirk H. Aerodactyl - Cliff B. Armaldo - Lars U. Kabutops - Rob T. Omanyte - Jason N. |
I'll name them either if I plan to use them in some way (battling, catching, egg-hatching), or if I happen to have a good name on the spot when I catch them. Names can be anything from cool to serious to downright silly.
Some names from games I'm playing: Diamond Pickles / Torterra Rei / Luxray Blam-Blaze / Charizard Roy / Gyarados Lira / Mew Egg-Warmer / Magcargo Slasher / Mawile Emerald Diggs / Sceptile Biscuit / Linoone Faye / Swellow Rage / Gyarados Kira / Ninetales LEATHRBELT / Pikachu Buster / Mightyena Shang / Kadabra FireRed Kakarot / Charizard Ptera / Pidgeot Ricky / Raticate Roxy / Pikachu Kai / Gyarados Korin / Kadabra Colosseum Dinner / Umbreon Breakfast / Espeon Skull / Feraligatr Pasta / Ampharos Octorok / Octillery Itis / Noctowl Flippy / Mantine Dome / Hitmontop My Pokémon Ranch (Caught in various games) Kleenex / Pikachu Rinku / Leafeon Skree / Aerodactyl Bessie / Wailord Bitsy / Gible Chopper / Machamp Mr. Creeps / Sableye Rex / Onix Biggums / Venusaur Kenji / Gyarados Kakarot / Arcanine Vegeta / Mightyena Cecilia / Ninetales Ace / Staraptor |
On Diamond with my "serious" party, I don't give them nicknames. On Pearl, I nickname them. The only 3 that I really care about on Pearl are Fireworks (Quilava), Tsunami (Floatzel), and Treestar (Leafeon). :3

Mine have unique names.
Milotic = Desphae Rayquaza = Veluedia |
I'd collect the Pokemon trio that I use in my drawings as characters and nickname them this way:
Raichu-Raichu = Rai Roserade-Rozureido = Rozu/Roze Floatzel- Floatsel = Flow Oh, I usually changed the Pokemon's name to Capital then small letters. BUIZEL = Buizel |
My Scyther's called Santoryu.
Noctowl's called Notch. |
I nickname all of my Pokemon. Based on type, or animal that they reflect:
Diamond: Infernape-Inferno Luxray-Lightning Leafeon-Leaf Milotic-Aphrodite Espeon-Kitten Umbreon-Twilight |
My brothe named the Starmie I gave him Shiruken or Shuriken which is really creative.
|
I usually don't give my Pokemon nicknames.
But, I nicknamed my Chimchar, Blazer. Lol And my Dialga was nicknamed Time, and Palkia, Space. XD |
Sometimes I do...it depends on what I would name it...it would have to suit the pokemon! ':D
|
Puffy and bubbles
I have about 25 eevees named puffy. |
Before, I used to name all my Pokemon corruptions of their regular names.
Pikachu-Peekachew Jigglypuff-Jigliepuph Xatu-Zatoo You get the idea. Lately though, I'm trying to name Pokemon based on their mannerisms and have them based on other video games I've played. The only ones I have so far is a Sassy Pelliper nicknamed Phyllis (Animal Crossing reference) and the pokemon cast of Super Smash Brothers Brawl all named after their Japanese names (because we heard a lot of those brawl's english release). |
I don't name my Legendaries.
But for my nons I've used two types of naming. Part of their names such as Pika. Sometimes giving them japanese honorifics(On my Gen III games) such as Pika-kun. Or character traits such as my Staraptor; Shiner. Stars do what? Shine, thus Shiner. I used to do jap names like my old Pikachu; Rai. (I have a lot of Pikachus) |
Mew - Birth
Mew - Baby I am choosing between the two |
Haza call it 'Birth', that is such a nice name for a Mew considering the amount of time it took to establish what Mew is.
|
Yeah you are right but its just not a nice sounding word which is why I was considering Baby.
|
Hm Baby is good but very cutesy so if you are into that style go for it!
|
Well it is a Cute Contest pokemon so I thought it fit and you obviously do too.
|
Well there you go! Problem solved.
I am doing the monotype challenge and am considering naming my Pokemon after mythology like Poseidon, Behemoth etc. |
Quote:
|
I named them with Mega Man and Naruto characters names such as Falzar, SpoutMan, HeatMan, Sarutobi, Naruto
I named my Piplup SpoutMan and after it evolved into Empoleon, I renamed it to SpoutManEX |
I used to nickname my Pokemon after weird nicknames I had for my online friends/Inuyasha character names. ]: I've since ditched the nicknaming process.
|
Oooh Tangela and Medusa sounds awesome!
Behemoth is good on Gyarados. |
I always thought that nicknaming pokemon was kind of a waste of time. Unless you can come up with some really clever and not annoyingly cliched names.
|
Genie is good for a female Shiny Dusknoir. When I get one thats what I am naming her(so dont take my idea).
