Chiki August 21st, 2010 5:09 AM

Homeskilly: 9.5/10
Cool name.


Dragonair, female
Silhouette
Reason: Because. I just don't know why. It's what I named my Dragonair in my game.

Politoed, female
Ribbita
Reason: Well, Politoed is a frog, after all, and frogs go "ribbit ribbit" (otherwise those little kids are lying), and Politoed reminds me of Ribbita from Megaman battle network.

Happy Azumarill August 21st, 2010 5:45 AM

Chiki is a strange name, but i like it 7/10

Esp1222 August 21st, 2010 6:16 AM

Person above gave no name...

The Pokemon: Gengar
The Name: Nightmare
The Reason: Yeah, it's generic, but I love Gengar and I just thought since he liked spooking people, and scaring the crap out of them, I'd name him Nightmare. Any time I use a Gastly or any other ghost type that I like, I name them Nightmare.

chickenofunity August 21st, 2010 10:08 AM

It's quite a cool name, goes with the spooky theme. 6.5/10

Pokemon: Gorebyss
Name: Alice
Reason: Well it's a girl, and Alice is a girl's name, but also cus to me Gorebyss looks like it's sort of not-all-there or in dreamland, just like Alice in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll.

KnilShadowLink August 21st, 2010 11:03 PM

Hehe 7.5/10 Alice seems like it would be a good name for a Gorebyss. (But can't Gorebyss be male?)

Pokemon: Houndoom
Name: Dante
Reason: When I look at Houndoom I think of a hellhound, and then I think of hell, and when I think of hell I think of demons, and when I think of demons I think of Devil May Cry...

dead-man-walking August 21st, 2010 11:24 PM

Dante's a fine and "hell-ish" name. But one thing and another just doesn't fit. :/
"Ifrit" or something would be fitting more than "Dante".
8/10

Name: Klesta
Pokemon: Skarmory
Reason: Dunno... I've been playing FFTA2 too much lately, methinks. 'Sides, Klesta's a birdie. It won't hurt, no? :D

ShinyZoruaGirl August 23rd, 2010 2:32 PM

9/1o

Name: Sparkette
Species: Raichu
Reason: I caught Pikachu in the Viridian forest and thought of Sparkette.

tente2 August 23rd, 2010 2:49 PM

Sparkette 4/10 Just...yeah.

Pokemon: Male Lickitung
Nickname: Lucas

Doesn't he look like he would like to lick lollipops all day long? What else would that tongue be for? "Lucas" seems like a good name for anybody who likes lollipops.

ShinyZoruaGirl August 23rd, 2010 3:00 PM

1/10, A human name.

Species: Mew
Name: PinkFuzzy
Reason: It's so cute!

KnilShadowLink August 25th, 2010 6:07 PM

...4/10 Mew's hair is so fine that it needs to be under a microscope to be seen...I don't see how it would be fuzzy...

Pokemon:
Snorlax
Name: Haymitch
Reason: If you've ever read "The Hunger Games" or "Catching Fire" then you will know why xD

chickenofunity August 26th, 2010 6:06 AM

Well becuase I have'nt, it would have to be a 5/10. (Oh and BTW, Gorebyss can be male, but mine was a girl, which is what I meant.)

Name: Tiger
Pokemon: Growlithe
Reason: Becuase it's orange and black and looks like a tiger. Full of originality I am. :P

Pheonix987 August 26th, 2010 6:48 AM

yes, and for that, I will give you a 5/10. And i read the Hunger Games, so i get it. Too true...except Snorlax don't drink wine...or win the Hunger Games...

Pokemon: Girafarig

Name: HHSZGZSHH

Reason: I really wanted to nickname it for some reason...and ran out of ideas. So this is how I came up with one.

Pokemon original name->flipped backwards->Letter after first letter (e.g. G->H, Z->A)-> letter before first letter (e.g. G->F, A->Z) , repeat

And Girafarig was spelt the same backwards. IDK!!!

bhavit August 26th, 2010 8:10 AM

Hmmm....... Nice idea to nickname someone. Ill rate it 3/10

Pokemon:Lapras
Nickname:Cross
Reason:Nothing really It just came to my mind..

dragonite149 August 26th, 2010 8:42 AM

2/10
It make sense because Ash crossed the waters of the orange archipegalo on Lapras.But 'cross' is a meh-ish name.

My pokemon nicknames
Pokemon:Fearow
Nickname:Mr Beak
Reason: My Fearow is a male

Pokemon:Lugia
Nickname:Silver
Reason:It's the mascot of Pokemon Silver.

Pokemon:Raticate
Nickname:Gnawer
Reason: Raticate has big front teeth which I assosiate with things that gnaw.

Master Strife September 6th, 2010 2:06 PM

5/10 for all of those, Dragonite XD

Jolteon-Vandigraph
We had a science experiment and we used a thing called a Vandigraph generater that made static electricity jump from person to person if you get close.

Gengar- Stalker
it's supposed to lurk in the shadows...

Rhyperior-Richtor
As in, a richtor scale that measures the power of earthquakes

Feraligatr-Ripjaw
Well, massive fangs+mouth= looks like could tear thing to shreds

Forrtress-Terrorism
all it did was blow itself up

Sceptile-Geklo (insert any roman numeral)
My friend named his Sceptile Geklo, and mine was an egg from it so I named it Geklo Jr. And now I've been breeding, and sending a new treecko to a game when I buy it. I've sent one to pretty much every game. every time I did I'd name it Geklo III, IV, etc. (There was a girl, I called her Gekla) I think I'm on Geklo the 8th.

imevil September 6th, 2010 5:39 PM

wow, those are all 8-10 to 10-10

how about these two
Typhlowsion( Phlow)
Mewtwo (Dabeast)

Aquacorde September 6th, 2010 7:15 PM

I dunno... they seem rather unoriginal. 4/10

Aquatica- Vaporeon

Mystica- Espeon

Bounce- Azumarill

Roy- Blaziken

Pikachu lvl88 September 9th, 2010 8:33 AM

7.5/10

A all nicknamed Pokemon from Ruby. Some of them were nicknamed a long time ago and I maybe forgot a origin of nickname. I excluded a Pokemon from in-game trades.

Metagross - Kosiarz (Polish name =D): it's so nicknamed as I use him(its [?]) often to Cut grass

Blaziken - Baseiken:don't remember.

Azumarill - Bazurill:as above.

Flipper - Pelipper:as above o-o

Aigon - Breloom: see above xD

Exploder - Weezing: He has Explosion move.

Boulder - Graveler:Graveler looks for me like boulder, that's why she has this nickname.

Coinca - Swellow: If I remember...

Pichi - Raichu: diminutive from Pikachu. Nicknamed as Pikachu.

Mr.Whisi - Exploud: I don't remember too (lol)

Povbat - Crobat:A cross of Crobat and something other... but I don't remember what.

Monkey - Aipom:Aipom is a monkey-like Pokemon and so nickname...

Findi - Linoone: From her ability.

(an english letters that I can't write) - Poliwag:She was caught at (un)epic place and nickname got scrambled.

GrifSpark September 9th, 2010 11:14 AM

They vary ALOT

Although the average would be about 8.3

Species - Roselia
Nickname - Eve
Reason - The whole Adam and Eve thing, it's something to do with religion :D

Species - Verin
Nickname - Beautify
Reason - Don't quite remember, but I guess I just thought it sounded interesting.

Dooonerz September 9th, 2010 11:42 AM

I like them both, 7/10 :)


Name: Mr Turtle
Pokemon: Turtwig
Reason: Well if you have ever watched 'My name is Earl' then a guy called Randy has a pet turtle named 'Mr Turtle'. And also because Turtwig is a turtle :D

chickenofunity September 9th, 2010 11:49 AM

8/10, becuase I have'nt seen my name is earl, but I still find it amusing.

Pokemon: Psyduck
Name: Toaster
Reason: Well, to me Psyduck's beak kind of resembles a piece of toast. Therefore the Psyduck is the toaster. :)

MissFrederick September 10th, 2010 2:28 AM

6/10 - That's pretty funny. x3

Pokemon: Gengar
Name: Onryo
Reason: In Japanese Mythology, an Onryo is known to be an unkind spirit (usually out for revenge, except my one isn't x3) and as Gengar is known to be unkind and mean on occassion (even if it is for its own humour,) I found it fitting. While an Onryo is usually female, they can be male.

Master Strife September 11th, 2010 10:30 AM

@MissFrederick
That's a perfect 10 right there lol


Blaziken: KFC
as in Kentucky(Kanto? lolz) Fried Chicken. :D Cuz he's a chicken... that controls fire!

Alakazam: Hudini
I named it that as an abra becausethe pokedex said it would teleport all the time and disappear. Like Hudini! lolz

Deliberd: Mr. Claus
He brings presents like Santa!

Espeon: Mindbender (I've also had one called Mindgames)
Just thought it sounded cool

Mightyena: Whitefang
just finished reading the book at the time lol

yaya0 September 11th, 2010 11:39 AM

@Master Strife - 5/10


Ralts♂: Ackbar
Ralts♀: WTFIDONTNO

Pikachu lvl88 September 11th, 2010 10:55 PM

One from Emerald:

Pichu♀: MissingNo.
