I just give them their Japanese names.

Geometric-sama February 20th, 2005 3:09 PM

I named my Pikachu Pikapika once... but apart from that, no. My brother's the nicknamer in our family, he names all his after writers/actors from Doctor Who o_O. My friend has cool nicknames, I just can't remember them -_-

Thats what I do.

Sylphiel February 20th, 2005 4:31 PM

Unless they happen to be multiples of a pokemon species, then yes, I always give them nicknames. The main exception to this is Unown, since I'm not giving a name to all those variations. XD

Some of mine:

Mirai - nidorina (leaf green). The name means "future" in japanese, though it has nothing to do with the pokemon itself. :P It's just the name of an rp character of mine, and I picked that name for her just because I thought it sounded nice...

Rhodonite - cubone (leaf green). A rhodonite is a kind of gem.

Suzaku - pidgeot (gold). Named after the red bird of the south in chinese astrology.

Pritz - eevee (leaf green), umbreon (gold). I think his name came from the name of the main male character of the one FF oav series... O_o If not, then it was inspired by it.

Marth - dragonair (gold). From a certain Fire Emblem character. XD For no reason at all other than I liked that name.

Monarch - butterfree (leaf green and gold). Named for monarch butterflies, of course. XD

Naiad - quagsire (gold). Named after the fresh water nymphs of Greek mythology.

Procyon - furret (gold). From Procyon lotor, the scientific name for raccoons. XD (Hey, he was a sentret when I caught him!)

Definitely not all the names I've ever given pokemon, but those are some of my better ones.

nadan the water queen February 20th, 2005 5:04 PM

i call pikachu peachy.
and goldeen the water queen,
even though i'm pretty sure
that IS her nick name!

SapphireL February 20th, 2005 5:44 PM

I ALWAYS nickname my Pokemon (except in Red Version...)

Here are some of my favorites:

Feraligatr = Totie (pronounced TOE-TEE)
Swampert = Mudster
Salamence = Slinko
Chimecho = Cappy
Ninetales = Miles
Ho-oh = Rainbow
Kyogre = Sapphire
etc. there are WAYYYY more names...

Castrainer February 20th, 2005 6:48 PM

My Chimecho's nickname is JingleBELL~ xD
But yes, I give a nickname to each and every Pokémon I get... even the same species, even the Unowns~ o_o
Its like, Unown A is called A, Unown B, B, and etc... xD

Ninetales1 February 20th, 2005 8:50 PM

Sometimes I nickname my Pokemon by their Japanese names, but here are some ones I pretty much like... (and some weird ones)

Chimecho: Ping
Muk: Yesenya (named after a girl in school I once hated)
Koffing: Marijuana
Torchic: Sunny Dee (isn't it cute?)
Phanpy: Bigfatbaby
Tangela: Alegnat (Tangela spelled backwards!)
Jigglypuff: ****aki (lol--I named it after a mushroom?!) (EDIT: Why are there stars there instead? I didn't say a cuss word...)
Alakazam: Mewtwo
Pinsir: OUCH!!

And there are others...

Mr Cat Dog February 21st, 2005 3:22 AM

Since this is more of a gaming question - I'll move it to General Games

Moving on up...

As for me, I never really nickname my Pokemon... since I'll probably forget them later on when I need them in a battle XD

Luvdisc_old February 21st, 2005 6:12 AM

Nicknames of the Pokemon in my team:

Registeel: Heimdall [After the Norse God]

Exeggutor: Garland [After the flower]

Jolteon: Ladybug [Too hard to explain]

Gyarados: Knave [See definition]

---------------------

Magneton: Knell [See definition]



Yeaaah, the ones before the line are on my team... Magenton is a replacement for Jolteon. And the other two pokes I forgot what their names are, so I will post them later. ;P

Emerald Queen February 21st, 2005 6:57 AM

My nicknames depend on my mood at the time. Generally, I go for names that echo what type or kind of pokemon it is i.e Swoop for a Taillow/swellow, things like garlic, brussels, kohlrabi, rosemary, shallot, thyme and so on for oddish and other grass types that look like plants. For bulbasaurs, I'd pick something like Vines. I tend to go for gender specific names, too.
I'm a fan of Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, so most of my dragon type pokemon have been given Pernese dragon names, some from the books, some from the online club I belong to, some simply made up.
Pokemon like numel, camerupt, slugma, magcargo, magmar tend to get volcanic names, either after volcanoes themselves, or volcanic structures e.g. Hekla and Toba for Camerupt, Maar and Scoria for slugma. Rock types get called after kinds of rock, like granite, shale, marble and so forth

Legendaries tend to get named after something to do with thier elements:
Arete and Glacier for Articuno, Thunder, lightning for Zapdos or Raikou, inferno for Moltres or Entei, Aurora for Ho-oh. I've got a Lapras called Nessie, a hitmonlee called JackieChan, a tyrogue called Cena, and my regis are called Litho, Glacio and Ferro. Groudon get Greek and Roman god names linked to Earth ie Pangaea, Rhea, Gondwana. Kyogre water god names like poseidon and Thalassa. My rayquaza get mexican god or mexican sounding namesi.e quetlcoatl, tleilaxu, and Tetlcoatl. The one exception to this was Slypher ( guess what? I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh fan too...)

I ran a game on Sapphire once where every nicknamed pokemon was called after a region of London. Blackfriars for Sableye, Pimlico for Pellipper, and so on. I must have been barking mad... :confused:

smithy.boy February 21st, 2005 8:50 AM

if u want me to edit this post i will as somepeople might nto approve of my names

corinnepkmn February 21st, 2005 9:41 AM

I name all my unowns after their letter (unown N is named N) but that's because I give them all to my brother after I catch them. Unown are weeeeird.
Ones I can remember:
Tulisaur- Venusaur, cause it's a tulip on its back (when its a bulbasaur/ivysaur)
Sleet- Vaporeon, thats freezing rain in case you didn't know
Neige- Golduck, it means snow
Avalanche- Golem, I think I got rid of this pokemon though
Gem- Dragonair
Iceberg- Marshtomp (yeah I have this thing for naming my water pokemon...)
Soccer- hitmon-kick (forgot if they're chan or lee) I got rid of one, then got another one and named it the same thing, then I think I got rid of that one too.
Obsidienne- Obsidian in french. We were doing a unit on rocks at school and slugmas look like lava; plus it just sounds cool. I got rid of this guy.


The only pokemon I name are ones I am about to trade and my starters. And some of my favorites.

mew_master February 21st, 2005 10:36 AM

i always call milotic nicknames based on their nature. if it's modest i'll call them harmonic. if it's careful i'll call it melodic. if it's adamant, i'll call it ogmented, and if it's naughty i'll call it diminished.

Jirachi3 February 21st, 2005 10:45 AM

I call my unknown by their letter-ex.-b unown-Bob
a uknown-Arnold-you get it right.

Wolf_Goddess February 21st, 2005 11:16 AM

Fire-Tail: My Charizard (So increative!)

Eve: My Vaporeon (Was when she was an Eevee. Never changed it.)

Loser: Okay, so I didn't name my Pokemon this, but when I was younger (during Red/Blue/Yellow days) I always named my rival Loser, Doof, Stinker, Num. 0, and stuff like that.

Binky: My Skitty's nickname

Red-Spirit: My Duskull's name (He's a shiny. He is red.)

Stink-Butt: My Koffing's name. I don't have him anymore though, I traded him.

Greeny: My Golbat (She was also a shiny. She was green. The game got deleted, though...)

Sunny: A good name for an Espeon! (Mine was a boy, though...)
