Funny/Unusual Nicknames
Whether it's through Wonder Trade or the GTS, there are some funny and strange nicknames. While looking for a Mewtwo on GTS, I found one nicknamed TickleMeElmo. Yep, that's right, named after a Sesame Street character.
So, what kind of nicknames have you seen? |
Well my main three pokemon have... unusual names;
My Charizard is called Vulcestor. My Chesnaught is called Gaiadormet. My Mewtwo is called Amethordar. Any of my pokemon that I intend to properly raise get a nickname. If they reach Level 90 or over they get a new nickname. So the top three are their new names. Their old ones were; Charizard was Vulcan. Chesnaught was Captain Kalos ( Captain K for naming purposes ) and Mewtwo was Magikarp. |
This nickname isn't from a trade or funny but is a very thoughtful name.
I nicknamed my Treeveant, Rakapilla which is a tree deity or god from Madagascar. Treeveant to me resembles a bobab from the avenue of bobab from Madagascar. So the fits well with Treeveant. I also named my greninja sensei. And a name I did get from trade a quilladin named M.points |
I called my Nidoking "Barney" and my Gengar "Casper". For those of you who were born before the year 1995 or so, should know why...
|
Well I got Wonder Trades with pokemon you can get at the start of the game... named - YOUMADBRO?
... Worth. |
Shiny Clauncher named Zoidberg. He's awesome.
|
I seen one called Wax on Wax off
|
I once received a Male Pichu over Wonder Trade name Lady Gaga
|
Seeing a Lickitung named Miley Cyrus was the highlight of my online experience.
|
When I was younger I used to always name my Squirtle-Squirter, Charmander-Flamer, and Pikachu-Shocker. And now that I'm older I realize how funny those names are.
|
I got a Klefki nicknamed CahKeyes over Wonder Trade
|
I named all my pokes after Roman Emperors or their wives depending on gender. So I had pokes named Vespasion, Titus, Augustus, Octavia and so on.
|
My premier in-game team:
Hayabusa the Greninja Doomflower the (Mega)Venusaur Brobat the Crobat Hinotama the Chandelure Derpfish the Stunfisk Cold Steel the Aegislash |
Quote:
I don't always nickname my pokemon... But when I do, I make sure they're awesome. I caught a bunch of pokemon for the wonder trade and kept naming them after super heroes. I think the best one that I've gotten in return so far was the Noibat named DirtyLaundry. |
I just use random names as my Pokemon's nickname. Like literally the first thing that comes into my head. Like in my first run-through my Greninja was called Cheese; Malamar was called Inky-Ink etc.
Sometimes I name them after people. uwu |
I got a Gengar from a friend early this day and she called it Harry.
...And Harry is a well known name where I live which is your every day's popular farmer name. I just don't get it at all, but yeah. Completely random. |
While doing wonder trade, I got a Quagsire named Derp, I thought it suited him quite well. (Note that I don't have anything against Quagsires)
Derp has been a good HM slave too! And some time after that I got a Furfrou called "i stalk you", I was like... this is not creepy at all. Nope. Should I try to send him back and be cursed or something or... In the end, I decided that he may have interesting...hobbies, I'm sure he is a good dog. I hope. |
The only nicknamed Pokemon I got from Wonder Trade I remember is a Raichu called U. Don't know why, but I found it funny, that's why I kept it.
Also I have nicknamed my Flygon "Cookie". The whole reason I did this is because it learns Crunch and everytime I see this attack "Cookie Crunch" comes to my mind. ^^" |
I always name bulbasaur in all caps RAFFLESIA because it is a huge flower that smells like a rotting body and venusaur has a rafflesia on his back.
|
I wonder traded away a Doublade I named Ragnell, and in return I got a Flabebe named Pieceofshjt.
|
Quote:
So personnally I would think of another Pokémon altogether if I see your bulbasaur. :) Also, I just received a zigzagoon named F***********K, I think his trainer was having a bad day, or something. |
Wah I got a relicanth for a tyrunt and it had a Japanese name so I couldn't read it.
|
my Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox is nicknamed as Fan, just because I thought of the sentence 'fanning the fire'
|
Interesting names huh? What would border on inappropriate in a thread like this? Because one very interesting nickname I've seen on the GTS is a Vivillon named cumdumster...yeah...On a lighter note I also found one named Pinkie Pie!
|
I was catching a bunch of dittos for wonder trade and just started to nickname them after pornstars for the giggles
|
I got a kecleon named Rita. The name is so random I felt like sharing it.
|
Well I got a Magikarp from Wonder Trade named "Useless" XD
|
I got a Tentacool earlier today named TentaFOOL (from another trainer named Brendan, no less). Don't know if it was just because the last part was capitalized, but I laughed at it way longer than I should have.
|
I was wonder trading away loads of Fennekins I'd bred and when a certain pokemon popped up on my end I laughed so hard...
I recieved a Cubone, named "No Mom" XD I know I'm evil for laughing, but it totally caught me off guard :D |
I once got a female Skiddo on Wonder Trade nicknamed Billie Piper. I thought the name was cute, and then I found out that it's actually the name of an actress ^_^
I tend to nickname all my Pokemon, and for this generation, I'm going with a French theme. Miette the Greninja, Chantilly the Lapras, Baudelaire the Inkay, Marengo the Dragalge, Armand and Marguerite the male and female Meowstic, and a few more. My favorite is Fournier the Talonflame; it's a French surname that means baker and it's also the name of a French motor glider. |
So many Espurrs. 'SeenThings', 'MurderEyes', and 'DEATH!!!' are my favourites.
|
I got a Jolteon called Raichu from the wonder trade
|
If I have a ditto I use especially for breeding, I like call him Stalion
|
Haunter called ray man.
Google ray man if it don't come to you right off the bat. I thought that one was a zinger. |
I nickname almost everything I have, here is the list:
Froakie's Bro the shiny poliwhirl Hypnotoad the other shiny poliwhirl Red Lobster the shiny clawitzer Blastwa the French blastoise Slayer the slyveon zabuzza the greininja LUCHAMUCHA! the hawlucha po the pangoro blood sucker the noivern Robin the talonflame Gooey the goodra pixel the vivillion that is all of them I have for now. |
all my pokemon are ladies or gentlemen.
So they either get a Sir or a Madam |
today i used wonder trade and i got a flabebe named "piece of ****"..and i traded it again!
|
I caught an eevee with a good nature for a jolteon(hasty) so I used a thunderstone and I decided to put a funny name so I did "GAAAAAAAAAY" I wonder how the person reacted. What if jolteon was their favorite pokemon? :P
BTW, I like jolteon, I did that name for fun. |
my absolute FAVORITE nickname that i've seen so far was an espurr nicknamed "my braaand"
a reference to this contact commercial, jsyk http://25.media.tumblr.com/5be70fdec4092156c34cc8bd5deb506f/tumblr_mvcmz4zWQc1rtngq9o1_500.jpg |
Most of the Pokemon I get via WT or GTS have been given JP characters, and since I can't read JP I don't get to know their names.
However, one non-JP Pokemon I received was given an inappropriate name which I thought was just hilarious. |
My main team consists of Dororo the Greninja and Pizza the Lucario. That's it for the funny nicknames for my main team. My other Pokemon names are Evening the Talonflame, Randi the Alakazam (Stephenplays reference), Rune the Venasaur and Shine the Carbink.
I like to name my legendaries after food. Since I have X version I named Xerneas Waffles, Zygarde Syrup and Mewtwo Pie. I haven't caught Moltres yet and if I ever get Y version I'm naming Yveltal Pancakes. My GTS and Wonder Trade life has been pretty memorable so far... I put up a Caterpie named Mewtwo (Pokemon 'Bridged reference) and a Graveler named Wrecking Ball. On the GTS I came across a Xerneas named '2sweg4U'. On the Wonder Trade I received an Amoongus named Kevin. It's funny because that's the name of my mam's fiancé. My boxed Pokemon are: Delibird - Santa Clause. I think that one is pretty obvious. Bidoof - Smartass. XD Litwick - Maizie. Since Litwick steals souls and is technically an evil Pokemon, I named it after my cat, who is also evil. Houndour - Rainbow. A surprisingly fitting name. Snorlax - Pudsey bear. Espurr - Death. Lol. Jynx - Nicki Manaj. XP |
i think it's a little amusing to nickname un-evolved pokemon their actual name.
that way after i trade it, and it evolves, the name stays >.< |
Seen a ditto named "My Wife" earlier on Reddit. Thought it was pretty funny.
|
My Pokemon Y team is:
Chesnaught (M)- Charnne Talonflame (M)- Flafadel Alakazam (M)- Psy-Mon (Pronounced Simon) Blastoise (M)- Neptune Aegislash (F)- Aidith The only Pokemon on my team that doesn't have a nickname is Sylveon, because I received it originally in a trade. |
i am naming all my pokemon names of LoL champions like i named a pichu Teemo :)
|
I named my Psyduck, "Wet Psy" as an outdated pun.

|
I got a gyarados called Sothe. :P Why must I always get the random names?! And here's one that I particularly like not funny/weird but a lapras named Nessie.
|
If I had a Pancham I would call it "Green Tongue" thinking that it always had its green tongue sticking out, which would obviously look strange on a real Pokemon. :P I'd also call Slurpuff "Ice cream", Carbink "Bunny Head" and Dedenne "Lil Raichu".
|
I got an Eevee, named as 'Thank u Obama'. Original isn't it? :/
|
Since Pokemon Black 2, I've named every single one of the Pokemon I catch (Except for one Minccino in Black 2). Here's some of the highlights from Pokemon Y:
Xono the Gible Montoya the Zororark Ryu the Lucario And... Leonidas the Charizard. There's also Hexine the Doublade. I got the inspiration from something I read somewhere that said something like "Honedge should've been called Hexcalibur". I was going to name mine that but it was female. |
Goober the Goodra, Dr. Goose the Goomy, True Paul the Jynx, Papa Squat the Cryogonal, Raff Riff the Nidorino with Magenter the Nidorina, Don Dropp the Dedenne, Key Snider the Klefki... This is the only thing I go for! I'm actually way disappointed with how many people on the GTS or Wonder Trade are just too cool to name their Pokémon, it's like come ooon dudes and she-dudes
|
The only Pokemon I nicknamed on Y were three Flabebe that I put on wonder trade. Their names were:
Blood Flower (for a red one) Pee Flower (for a yellow one) Potty Time (for a yellow one) Unfortunately, I didn't get any nicknamed Pokemon. It's a shame, because I was hoping for equally dumb nicknames. Also, the connection was lost while I traded two of the aforementioned Flabebe. I wonder if my trading partners disconnected because of the nicknames. |
A Gastly named "Rick Gastly".
A Scatterbug named "BUTTOCKS" A Charizard named "ROCKHAZARD" Wonder trade is a magical thing. Quote:
|
I got a Pichu off wonder trade called Patches, it was a real "aww" moment. Also a Pansear called Fire Log.
I've gotten some naughty ones using asterisks and exclamation marks to censor them, I probably shouldn't share them.... |
I was battling a guy online who had a Blaziken nicknamed "Cluck Norris". Gave me a chuckle.
|
I named my Litleo "Catfire", and my Squirtle "Leonardo", after the TMNT.
Also, I've got a Raichu named Volta, and when I get a Zekrom, I'll name him Tesla. Since Reshiram is the opposite of Zekrom, I'll name him Edison. |
i got a victreebel named ****sucker ... <.<
|
I named my super small Gourgeist 2SPOOKY4U. Haven't seen too many funny nicknames but I do recall getting a Sentret off wonder trade called "Big O"
|
Got a Wonder Traded Klefki called iKeyUrCar :(
|
all the names i give my pokemon are wierd................ like cyndaquil name bineal (Wtf?)
and my delphox named... Frice... IM UNUSUAL |
My pokemon that I've knicknamed:
Muffin - a female Furfrou with a Kabuki haircut Skippy - a male Sandslash; I make sure to get one in every generation as it's my favorite (finally learns Dig and Earthquake!!) Pika<3 - a female Pikachu, I used the little heart icon after the Pika. Whenever I send her into battle, it's almost like she's saying her name as a cheer haha |
I got a Ponyta from the Wonder Trade named BigMacintosh. I kept him only because I love his name. :P
|
I named my Speed Boost Torchic Fastfood. My friend named his GottaGoFast.
|
I got a cubone named "YOMAMA" I'm evil for laughing, I know. But his mom only died in red/blue.
|
My Doublade is Castamere... A location from Game of Thrones where everyone was murdered and going back there is punishable by death.
I got a Bunnelby, "Sorry" and accidentally traded an Eevee named, "Azzwhipe" (I felt bad about that.) |
Just got a Fletchling off wonder trade called "Squirtle?".
The question mark on the end really sells it. |
Eh, my names aren't the weirdest.
Sylveon - Castor Delphox - Finnick Furfrou - Hermann Heliolisk - Newt Noivern - Gatsby Kudos to all who get the name references. |
I got a Jinx named beyoncé and figured that was enough wonder trade for today.
|
I just got a Fletchling named ROUROUGE, (means Rered pretty much) from a guy named SACHA, the French name of Ash.
I must admit I laughed a little, it's so ridiculous. |
I named forkie Hiroshi, after Hiroshi Yamauchi. since he is the one that got nintendo in the video games franchise so with out him there might have been no pokemon, so seeing how he died a week or so before the release of the game i thought it was fit to name my starter after him.
|
I got a Weedle named "BEEEEEES!". I'm presuming it's a Nicholas Cage reference. If it wasn't for that, I would've Wonder Traded it on. Lucky thing I didn't, it's won me a few prizes on the ID Lotto.
|
I once got a Eevee off of Wonder Trade named "Pickles". I retraded it, but it made me laugh so much that I gave the same name to an Eevee I caught myself later on, then put it on my team as a Sylveon.
I give silly/weird nicknames to all the Pokemon I use on my team. Chesnaught - "Bowser" (I'm sure you know why) Charizard - "Charcoal" (The usual name I give to Charizards) Aegislash - "Excalibur" (He's a sword) Sylveon - "Pickles" (After the Eevee that made me laugh) Heliolisk - "Corona" (Sun reference) Yveltal - "Skybacon" (I've been calling him this since the first trailer. Some of you have seen this, I'm sure. xD ) |

I think the ones named after tyrants and leaders are the best, koffi~
George W. The Stunfisk. Or Rasputin the Krookodile! Stalin, Adolf (Houndoom), Mao (Mienshao), Pol Pot the Oshawott, etc. Also, the Pornstar Dittos: I did roughly the same thing, only I was naming them after 'personal lubricants'. Thought it fit, as Ditto copies what it sees, and is capable of producing an offspring: http://cs.sankakucomplex.com/data/67/7c/677c1074768db32222188e1ecb6359e4.gif ergo, Intern Oak hatched from the egg! Will you give Intern Oak a nickname? (Traded with a doctorate) Your Intern Oak is evolving! Congratulations! Intern Oak evolved into Prof. Oak! Okay, that was too much fun, koff~ |
I got a weedle named NO LOVE once and just started laughing before putting it back in the WT to make soemone else laugh a bit =P
|
Just got a Pansage called Sage"n"onion.
|
Snagged some Gurdurrs, koff~
I plan to trade them. Everyone needs to have a Killer Klown (two capital Is)! So much fun, koffi~ |
I have a Sylveon named after Kyuubey from Madoka Magica.
|
I never get nicknamed Pokemon in trades.. well, I do, but they're usually uninspired trite like Bob ftw and stuff. I'm usually the ones naming things and sending them out into the wilds.. where I'm sure they go pretty much unappericated..
I've been naming a series of Omanytes Ohman or Starpower from fossil runs.. as well as Kabuto Tops.. Archen Covert Ops.. Shieldon Clasher or Fort Mugston.. Cranidos Bonkers or Basher.. I bred up a series of Hawlucha and tried to give them fake luchador names in spanish which roughly translated into The Falcon or The Eagle, Lady Talon etc. (they look much more impressive with spanish spelling) .. Birdman. Run into a few Aerodactlys, they usually get called Hellion. I've probably hatched more eggs and done more fossil runs in this generation than I ever had previous. I think thats a good thing. Some of my personal favorites that I don't part with -- Samba the ludicolo, Ikabod the Pumpkaboo (which I caught on halloween ironically) Gallows the Trevenant, Gobot the Golurk, Oinkboink the Spoink, Zeep the Zangoose, Veep the Seviper, Boodaddy the Bannette, Nitro the Talonflame, Rioda the female Gurdurr, Dahbuzzer the Electabuzz.. the list goes on. |
i got wondertraded a charmander named Ron Weasley and i laughed so hard idk why but i found it funny. then i traded it to my best friend for laughs
|
I got a magnetmite named polarity, that made me giggle. I really want to name a lunatone Serena knowing moonblast. Points for getting the reference. :D
|
I nicknamed my Ditto "Baby's Momma". Maybe I'll grab another soon and name it "Baby's Daddy". :)
|
I name my Pokemon after Zanpakuto from the anime/manga Bleach. My Raichu is Gonryomaru, Gyarados is Nejibana, Lucario is Tenken (Mega Evolution is Bankai lol), Delphox is Ryujin Jakka, and others that I can't remember.
|
Quote from marriland "Derp Bunny" for Bunnelby
PS. i got this from a meme but im so gonna do it im gonna name my yveltal FlufflePuff and not use it and feed this god of destruction cupcakes and pet it all day |
My friend wanted one of the Male Litleo I had caught to start his game out with... He traded me a Skiddo named TsteDaRainbow, I put a rare candy on him and sent it off onto the wonder trade. My other friend traded me a Bunnelby nicknamed Bunnytron for a Weedle(He has Y and wasn't running into any weedles at the start).
|
Caught some Jynx and nicknamed them Mrs. Popo and I've nicknamed named Scraggy Getemup before.
|
Off Wondertrade, 'Alan Rickman' the Nincada.
:t262: |
Just got a Evee from wonder trade names Jolteon
|
I named my Hawlucha "Nacho" after Nacho libre :3
|
I haven't gotten many odd named pokemon through wonder trade, but a couple were:
"titty" the foongus "no gender?" the carbink. |
Quote:
But the best nickname in my Wonder Trade experience is my Kabuto named Pooper Scooper. AND this Kabuto won me first place Loto-ID! It is my lucky Pooper Scooper. I also sent out a few Luvdisc with the names "Love Me Now" or "Mine?", "My Valentine?", "Marry Me?", "I love you!". x; ... |
I name most of my pokemon after mythical creatures from legends, greek/roman/mayan/(other ancient civilizations) gods and deities. So I always try to pick good fitting names. I also have a bellossom named Azalea after a poisonous flower i found on wikipedia and a reuniclus named Krieger. (german word for warrior) As for amusing wonder trades I received a pikachu on wonder trade named fffffffffffffffubbbbs for some reason i found that very amusing.
|
I like to name my Trainer "Uh, He" Or, "Uh, She". So, say you capture a pokemon, it will read, "Uh, She caught a squirtle" I like to amuse myself :)

I got a Froakie named Froabble in a trade yesterday. Had no idea it was the nickname of the Froakie Shauna gives you at the end of the game if you chose a Chespin. I thought it was pretty funny, but nowhere near as funny as Kinniekins the Fennekin!
|
I received a Pachirisu named Pikatwo.
Well, he/she got a point... Pikachu's clones are everywhere. |
I got a garbador from wondertrade the other day called Robin Thicke XD
My cousin also named her Jynx Nicky Minaj |
i got a Golem through Wonder Trade named Mega Geodude haha i love it :)
