And on the vacay, I've been thinking of a name for Alolan Exeggutor after seeing a handful of coconut trees on the trip: 卡拉巴 (kǎlābā), literally kelapa, which in turn is the Indonesian and Malay word for coconut. |
Exeggutor - Johnny
Spoiler:
Seeing him & the new Wood Hammer animation work together so flawlessly inspired the name |
Lugarugan - Either Remus or Lupin, depending on what I feel like in the moment.
Alola Ninetales - Echo, because my Ninetales is always named Echo. Mudsdale - Westley That's all I've got for now, the rest will be nicknamed depending on what I'm reading :P |
I've thought of a few more, this time it's using alphabetic instead of Chinese letters:
Vikavolt: Jueki. Apparently it means tree sap in Japan, and beetles are known to like tree saps. Zygarde: Core-Z7. I can't help but think of computer cores when I saw how Zygarde fights in Sun and Moon just recently. |
Litten: Tai Lung if male, Hikage if female
Salandit: Jeice if male, Namira if female Turtonator: Bowser Jangmo-o: Galli Lurantis: Sei Type: Null: Noumu Alolan Marowak: Jalhalla Tapu Koko: Voltron Lunala: Pandora Oricorio: Marron Minior: Buu Mudsdale: Alfsigr Wimpod: Pibb Mimikyu: Po Vikavolt: Otachi Pikapek: Pearl Rockruff: Soma Alolan Sandslash: Whis Alolan Ninetales: Amu Alolan Meowth: Sas Zygarde: Cell |
Pyukumuku - Lotion Fluids, Wet Fluids, Dumpin' Out, or Love Spit
Rowlet - N/A Sandalit - DastardPSN, Pipin'Sneak Mudsdale - Bulwark, BodyBag, FieldShield Oricorio (Baile Style) - Senorita <_<; Oricorio (Pom-Pom) - Bae, Cray, Molly, Jennifer, U.S.A-Girl, "On-Fleek", Petty Tweet Oricorio (Sensu Style) - Entwine, Japansy Oricorio (Pa'u Style) - Left Flow, Right Flow, L&R-Flow Rockruff - Bony Stones Comfey - Tran Q' uil (Bad Perfume Product, yes? Haha), Scent Spray, LUSH Cutiefly - I-Fly (I spy with my little eye), Fuzzy Fly, Touchy Bug The ones I bold are definitely the ones I'm gonna use in-game/online for later use. I'm still trying to think up so future good ones for the others. Don't know yet. |
I've been thinking of some names in order recently:
Solgaleo: 超绝 (chāojué, lit. meaning superb). Inspired from a certain Sentai power-up there. Oranguru (tentative): 先生. Since this 'mon teaches stuffs, I think it wouldn't be more appropriate than calling it sensei. |
In all honesty, I'd nickname my Rowlett Vanoss after VanossGaming.
|
Thinking of nicknaming my Vikavolt as Kolaghan. Still thinking for the rest of my team though ):
|
Oranguru: Harambe
|
Out of a couple of my potiential team members:
Vikavolt: Volt Litten: Blaze or Chat Noir Bewear: Cubby Crabrawler: Mac or Lil' Mac Passimian: RG3 Mudsdale: Bailey, Clyde, or Dale Jangmo-o: Maui Lycanroc (Midday): Hunter |
So far from the 3 Pokemon I plan on using:
Litten: if it's male I'll call him Milo or if it's female I'll call her Kiara Alola Vulpix: if it's male I'll call him Renard, or if it's a female I'll call her Sophie Eevee: if it's male I'll call him Mozart, or if it's a female I'll call her Fiona |
Quote:
I don't know why, but I want to name my A-Vulpix "Canada". The rest i'll probably call "mistake" or "filler". |
Lycanrock (Sun) - Stark, yeah, because Game of Thrones.
Salandit - Iago, he just looks evil as fu ck, and Iago is the villian in Shakepeare's Othello, and he's evil as fu ck. Rowlet - Papageno, from Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. Vikavolt - Kabuterimon, because Digimon, or Buzkill, depends on what I feel like in the moment of my capture. Passimian - DICKS OUT (Sorry, I have to, even if it's not a gorilla) Wishiwashi - Infinite Sushi |
I never plan a team for my first playthrough and when I give nicknames they are always spontanous. For Sun and Moon I changed my plan a little bit. To honor the colour/rainbow theme, I'll name all my catched pokémon after matching colours. So red pokémon(scarlet, ruby,rose), blue ones(azure, indigo, cobalt) and so on. Seems fitting for such a colourfull region:).
|
I'm going nicknameless again lol. I used to nickname mine since the ALLCAPS names bothered me, but since we don't have that anymore there's no need to worry. Might try giving my main team dessert/fruit-based names again.. but chances are it's a theme that won't stick. ;c Since I'd want to nickname everything I catch to match and that'll get tedious.
Or maybe.. hm.. I might try anyway. Themed nicknames actually sound very cute if I can keep up with it. |

I'll definitely be nicknaming my Pokémon, but I normally don't plan them out in advance or have a set theme - I just go with whatever feels right at the time. Sometimes they're named after characters from books/movies/TV shows, sometimes they're puns, sometimes they're random names - I guess we'll just see how I'm feeling on the day! |
During my first playthrough, I won't be using nicknames. I like to keep the species name so I can learn who all the new Pokemon are as I play through the story for the first time.
After that, I might use a Hawaiian-based naming theme, especially for a Nuzlocke. I don't know what theme to use in particular, but I'm sure I'll find one. |
I don't think I'll nickname my Pokemon. I usually don't since I don't think I'm very good at nicknaming.....plus I spend AGES at the naming screen trying to think of something good and then I just get annoyed because it's taking so long.
The only time I nicknamed my Pokemon was when I played Pokemon Black (it wasn't the first gen 5 game I played, I started with White) I think it was... Serperior - "Sprout" Scrafty - "Yesterday" (I really liked this name, it was a bit different) Golurk - "L-B09" (Pronounced Elbow 9, I think I had this headcanon that it had other numbered siblings who were also "Elbows") Gothitelle - "Willow" (Probably influenced by Willow from Buffy) Stoutland - "Mac" Galvantula - "Fritz" So I'm not sure how good my naming skills are. :P I guess I might start thinking about nicknames for Moon, though I only have two planned team members so far. (Rowlet & Drampa) (Actually I think I nicknamed my Pokemon in ORAS too....) |
I plan to name my future turtonator Tokka. I might name vikavolt after a transformer since it's somewhat robotic in appearance.
|
I know what my nicknames is going to be. Theme? Greek mythology :D
Popplio - Ariadne A fire type - Hephaestus Alolan Exeggutor - Dionysus Alolan Ninetales - Aphrodite Alolan Raichu - Perseus And a Flying type pokemon - Aeolus I just like the greek mythology much. Don't ask why so many Alolan pokemon. I just like them :P |
All I know is I'm gonna have a female Ninetales named Shirayuki. Not sure about Raichu, Lurantis, and Rockruff yet :( I had a name for Rockruff buuuut I forgot haha.
|
All I can think of so far:
Rowlet: Gundham Pikipek: Peko Cutiefly: Hiyoko Rockruff: Makoto Lurantis: Junko A lot of the Pokemon remind me of Danganronpa characters, especially Rockruff and Dartrix. |
I never name my Pokemon, mainly cause I'd forget who is who.
|
If I can nickname Ash-Greninja, he's going to be Sotishi. Litten will be known as Calamity. And I'm going to name Lediba after my girlfriend, because I call her "my little ladybug".
Don't look at me like that. |
