Rain October 13th, 2016 4:20 PM

So far I've come up with:
Salandit: Malice
Palossand: Versailles
Minior: Konpeito

Adam Levine October 15th, 2016 9:43 PM

Some names:

Lurantis- Waifumon (Why am I like this)
Bewear- Monokuma (shrugs)
Turtonator- Bowser or Arnold (Schwarzenegger)
Alolan Muk- LSD or Skittles (get it? Taste the rainbow?)
Dartrix- Rich Kid

clbgolden October 16th, 2016 5:10 AM

Thinking of,

Bewear: Cuddles
Kommo-o: Mo-o
Silvally: Silver

... In case you couldn't tell already, I like my Pokémon nicknames simple.

Mikewind October 16th, 2016 5:34 AM

For popplio, probably Undine or maybe Palutena which is my Smash secondary

Kameken October 16th, 2016 8:23 AM

Alright, got a few more

Oranguru: Forever
Ribombee: Journey
Steenee: Elisa

KipKipFox October 16th, 2016 5:01 PM

Updated:

Torracat: Flametail
Midnight Lycanroc: Kodiak
Salandit: Toxic
Alolan Ninetales: Glacia
Alolan Raichu: Pancake
Silvally: Alpha
Kommo-o: Ramses
Tsareena: Nicki Minaj
Mimikyu: Napstablook
Lunala: Artemis
Zygarde: Hades

I'll probably want to get the other two starters in trade:

Dartrix: Soren
Brionne: Ariel

JoyStar October 17th, 2016 4:07 AM

Still deciding, especially since all the Pokemon haven't been revealed yet), but here's some ideas I have so far:

Rowlet (if Litten's final is the one from the leak) - Strix (Latin for Screech Owl), Archer (if the leaked final evolution is true), Soren or Ga'Hoole (from Guardians of Ga'Hoole), Doctor Hoot (because Doctor Who is awesome)
Litten - Brimstone (because of the alchemical marking), Tigerclaw, Brambleclaw,
Pikipek - Pearl
Type: Null/Sivally - Null, RKS, Alpha - I'm honestly not entirely sure what I want to nickname it, but all I know is I want one!
Mimkyuu - Pikaboo, Phantasma (Latin for spirit), Napstablook
Rockruff - Fell, Slavkaa, or Kar (a few of the moves from The Sight)

Duuuuude! insane- bowser- fire breathing dragon.
Alolan muk- no explanation needed

Starry Windy October 17th, 2016 5:17 PM

Lately I'm thinking of a name for Lycanroc Midnight Form, which may be subject to change: Either 狼人加鲁鲁兽 or 兽人加鲁鲁. In case you didn't know, both of these are how Chinese call WereGarurumon.

ThePokemonLeakGuy October 18th, 2016 4:18 AM

If Litten's final evolution is really a wrestler then John Cena

AmetsuCAT October 18th, 2016 12:31 PM

I hope to call my Lycanroc Midday form Balto, from the movie since it kind of looks like him. Litten I might call Koba, and my Silvally Chimera.

Zegner October 18th, 2016 5:38 PM

My Salandit (Female): Xerina
My Mimikyu (Male): Quirnél
My Oricorio Sensu (Female): Oryanthia
(I have no idea for my Popplio, Formantis, nor my... last Pokémon i don't have yet...)

Kameken October 18th, 2016 10:27 PM

Since catching the ultra beasts is apparently 100% a thing now, and since they are clearly just stands, I've decided to name them accordingly.
Spoiler:
I'll probably have to abbreviate a lot of them as I come up with more, but whatever


UB-01: [GLASS HOUSES]
UB-02 Absorption: [THE TOUCH]
UB-02 Beauty: [PRETTY WOMAN]

Karous October 18th, 2016 10:34 PM

I'm going to name my Rowlett Olive, after Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. I soft reset for a female starter so I'm going with the female version of the name.

cyanidebaby October 23rd, 2016 11:45 AM

Litten- Kyra/Kiara (soft resetting for female, both mean dark lady)
Rowlet- (soft resetting female) Darcy
Popplio (soft resetting for female) Banshee
Alolan Exeggutor BrokeANut
Mimiku: Boggart
Rockruff: Griffgruff
Alolan Cubone WhoCriesNow?
Mudsdale: Carmen

Solar Snivy October 23rd, 2016 8:17 PM

Got a few of these:
  • For my Rowlet, I will do either Archer or Lily, depending on what gender it is. Unless I decide to soft reset for a shiny, in which case I will probably name it Pine or Conny (Conifer).
  • I will name my Pichu either Puka (for obvious reasons) or Finn because that sounds like a surfer's name.
  • Rockruff will be Ricky because alliteration. Never mind the fact that Ricky the Lycanroc is not alliterative.
  • Steenee will be Stella. (might not evolve it to Tsareena)
  • Oricorio (either pompom or hawaiian) will be Lulu
  • Mimikyu: Aime from the french word meaning to like or to love
  • Pikipek will be called Pikmin because "Picky Pikmin, Pikipek, picked a peck of purple pickled pik piks"

Arjay October 24th, 2016 10:48 AM

Oranguru - King Louie
Dartrix (because I ain't evolving him into THAT thing) - Achilles
Mudsdale - Clyde

Haven't decided what else I want on my team yet. Probably Baile style Oricorio depending on how early it's obtainable.

JoshTheTrainer October 24th, 2016 12:24 PM

I'm gonna call them: Glaceon, Glaceon, Glaceon, Glaceon... oh yeah, and maybe Glaceon.
Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't really give my Pokémon nickname. I have no clue what to call them. Maybe I should name my main Pokémon after the girl that got me into the newer Pokémon games I used to chat daily with... :P

PageEmp October 24th, 2016 6:00 PM

Eh, I'll just do my usual naming scheme for regular play, which is whatever comes to my mind. So my names will probably be random.

WingsofBliss October 24th, 2016 6:16 PM

I think it'll depend on the gender... I would like to get a female Salandit and name it Sandy, and name my Rowlet Kiwi.

Darkbirt October 25th, 2016 1:34 AM

I usually don't give my Pokémons nicknames, but if I catch a male Gumshoos I just need to call him Trump.

Azire October 25th, 2016 1:46 AM

What is this nicknaming business of which you speak?

IndigoMoon October 25th, 2016 8:57 AM

I started thinking about it, and I already have some vague idea (I want to nickname my Rockruff Rough for example), but actually going by a theme this time would be nice! Maybe I'll use song names, I'll just have to go through my youtube playlists for inspiration ^^

calebsdogsdrule October 28th, 2016 11:11 AM

Poptart

Knyte October 28th, 2016 6:11 PM

For Rowlet: Archimedes/Archermedes (from Sword in the Stone)
jangmo-o: stays
wishiwashi: Merlin (a reference to the wizard teacher)
Spoiler:
get schooled

mimikyu: haven't thought of one yet
oricorio: stays
lycanroc: Howlycan or Lycanthroar (because rock-ruff)
