    • My current Pokemon nicknames.... those would be:

    M: Benny the Audino (I couldn't think of a better name..... fitting, no?)

    M: Ivy the Serperior (As a Snivy, his tail looked like ivy. Plus him being a grass-type, it fits. :))

    M: Judo the Sawk (WAH! It dealt with martial arts, so...)

    N: Tricky the Victini (I was at a loss for names. :\)

    M: Mamepato the Unfezant (I liked Pidove's japanese name better. Thinking of renaming him Phantom, as in Phantom of the opera, due to his facial mask.)

    F: Thunder the Zebstrika (I thought of naming her Sparky, but it wasn't cool enough.:cool:)

    (P.S. M= male, F= female, and N= no gender.)

    I plan on nicknaming Reshiram once I get it. (not telling you what the nickname is... yet.)

    UPDATE: Actually, I have my Reshiram now. Wanna know what I called it?

    .....I nicknamed it.... Sephiroth. (The white hair. ><)

    Really random things that pop into my head at the time of capture. I named my Litwick Spark. Why? I don't know, but he ended up evolving into a powerful Chandelure, so I'm happy. :3

    Theme naming?

    So, my friends and I have been doing a little thing for B/W where we took the names of the Pokémon we want to be on our team, and name them according to a specific set. For example, a friend of mine is doing famous trolls (trolls in the Internet sense XD), and I'm doing plants. My current team is:

    Lis -- Servine (From 'fleur de lis', a motif I seem to see on the Tsutaaja line -- STILL NOT CALLING IT SNIVY!)
    Rookwood -- Timburr (I had to name this one on the fly, and it's only later that I found out rookwood wasn't a type of tree. I kind of want to rename her Dogwood now, but...)
    Kudzu -- Venipede (Kudzu is a vine known as 'the mile-a-minute vine' or 'the vine that ate the South' because it grows fast and grows hard; it's aggressive like a Venipede.)
    ​

    How about you, PokéCom? (Of course, if you don't have a theme, just tell us your nicknames >:3)

    • Oh, theme naming! I love those. I didn't go with themed names this time around, although I do give everything a nickname, which results in a weird collection of joke names, references, and mythology. I did convince a friend to name her whole team after cars, though.

    I followed a naming scheme in my heartgold; they were all named after TMBG songs. (I then sorted them via album in my PC.) And in Platinum, most of my ingame team was named after monsters from Telefang.

    • I'm a science geek, so I name my Pokemon broadly under appropriate sciencey words :3

    Thus far:
    Vaporeon (Osmosis) - Osmosis, the movement of water
    Unfezant (MHC) - Major Histocompatibilty Complex, a carrier molecule
    Hydregion (Tonsil) - First thing that came to mind, seemed to work
    Galvantula (Purkinje) - After Purkinje fibres, electrical conducting fibres in the heart
    Zekrom (The Face) - No relevance, just sounded cool
    Kyurem (Hypotherm) - Because I couldn't fit Hypothermia

    Have others, but they're currently in Amanita's PC and not sitting right in front of me :3
