I breed Pokémon for my boyfriend's random playthroughs. These are the charming delights that I bred for him recently:

Spoiler:


Why is Corsola called "Pink Crayon"? Its French name is "Carayon" and I keep reading it as "crayon" lol

You can post pics or you can list 'em out! Also, what are some of your favourite nicknames? What are some other-region official names that you really like i.e. Vulpix in French is "Goupix"

I have a list of nicknames I would like to use for my Pokemon, because by the time I get a Pokemon I end up forgetting the nickname I was going to use.

Litleo/Pyroar: Sundiata, after a 13th century Mali king.
Budew/Roselia/Roserade: Locusta, after a roman chemist made aristocrat, famous for poisoning many people including Claudius.
Lillipup/Herdier line: Carnegie, after a Scottish philanthropist.
Meinshao: Wu Zetain, an Empress of China.


I have several more names of historical figures that I admire or look up to, but don't have any Pokemon attributed to them, yet.

I named my entire Black 2 team after a TV Trope called the Five-Man Band. It has the only team in which I liked all of the names I picked out for these guys.

Spoiler:




Besides that, I've also nicknamed a few other Pokémon in many different games. Two of my favourites nicknames are Tank the Torterra and Donna the Honchkrow.

My Pokemons' nicknames tend to be.... Unoriginal.
In my most recent new playthrough I have:
SoulSilver Project: Remake Silver Team
Furo-Croconaw
Nono-Noctowl
Catia-Zubat
Gego-Gastly
Toto-Togetic
Uoho-Eevee (Bonus points for anyone who can guess what he'll evolve into XD)

Although sometimes it's better. Like my usual nicknames are the first letter of my siblings' names in order.
F, P, J, N, M, S, with the trainer named after me, the oldest. XD
An example of this is Y:
Felix the Chesnaught (Felix is usually my rival's name though)
Pippi the Pidgeot
Jem the Venusaur
Num the MeowsticM (Short for Numa Numa or Nummlez)
Muu the Snorlax
Soor the Aurorus (wasn't sure what to name him, was going to go with Soot and accidentally wrote Soor, much better XD)

I also occasionally use anime names, like my FireRed Omega Random Challenge with Katekyo Hitman Reborn! names.
Lambo the Electabuzz
Gamma the Butterfree (was gunna go with Uni but he was a guy sooo....)
Yamamoto the Swampert
Haru the Typhlosion (I wanted Gokudera the Typhlosion.... But oh well. Is it weird I ship her and Swampert despit not shipping their namesakes....?)
Reborn the Dodrio (>D)
Mini Mosca the Heracross (Still have to catch him.)

I feel nicknaming is a very cute feature; in real life, we tend to name our pets, and our situation is sort of the same here, and I believe this helps add more realism.

Unfortunately, however, although I'm a fan, I don't take advantage of this system too much, and wind up leaving my Pokémon as they are. Last time I had nicknamed anything, if I remember right, was about six to eight months ago; it was Charizard which I've been able to get a hold of in Y version, and I've named it Fidragon--play on the words fire and dragon.

There are also few more Pokémon that I did have set nicknames to over the years, but I can't put my finger on what they exactly were right now, sorry to say; wish I were able to remember.

Some of my nicknames that I'm proud of.

Blaziken - Ares
The God of War in Greece. His Roman counterpart is Mars and the element of the planet Mars is fire.

Infernape - Wukong
Named after Son Wukong. All he needs now is a power pole, oh wait wrong adaptation.

Emboar - Porkchop
A giant pig on fire (cooked pork) with fighting attacks (chop) and yet named after the food.

Donphan - Stampy
Named after Bart's elephant from The Simpsons.

Skarmory - Kamikaze
copy & paste: Kamikaze is the Japanese wind deity, and that corresponds with the fact that Skarmory's a flying type Pokemon. However, Kamikaze is also the name of a war jet, corresponding with the fact that Skarmory's a steel type.

Garchomp - Armaggon
Named after the mutant land shark enemy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Rotom Wash - Kenmore
The household appliances company because y'know, washing machine.

Jellicent - Pringles
Male Jellicent reminds me of the Pringles guy.

Greninja - Zabuza
Zabuza was a water-style ninja from Naruto and Greninja does the exact same pose that Zabuza does when doing an attack. See here.

So i was looking at some of my previously completed save files.. I'll list some of them and the important explanations as well:
The reason why I mention so few because I'm only sharing what i feel like its worth the explanations.

Ruby:
Spoiler:
Burn Rooster, lvl97 Lonely Blaziken
= When i started playing Ruby a few months ago, I was also in that whole Megaman X series vibe, which i happened to name a lot of my pokemon in my save files since i thought, well the names of the Mavericks are damn cool. Burn Rooster is one of the maverick bosses from Megaman X8 (The last good Megaman X Game after anything before X6 and X7), and a Blaziken happens to be a blazing chicken. He was my fateful starter and was the first starter (and pokemon in ANY SAVE FILE THERE IS) to reach such an absurd level thanks to the sheer feeling of "badass" just playing him and wrecking the entire Ruby Elite Four + Steven with him.

Dinorex, Lax Groudon
= Groudon reminds me of a dinosaur, in particular a T-Rex (before I saw Tyrantum) but because he also uses a variety of fire types. I named him after one of my favorite Megaman X5 bosses, Burn Dinorex.

Alia, Modest female Gardevoir (best Garde Hoenn)
= I picked up this baby as one of those lucky encounters back in my Ruby save file and i had no knowledge with natures until I realized that Modest was the BEST nature for Special Attack. Anyway, I named my Gardevoir after Alia, the Reploid navigator who aids X and Zero in their adventures.


Liquid Crystal:
Spoiler:
Renekton, the Naive Feraligatr
= Pretty basic. Named after the LoL character. I also named my Feraligatr as Renekton back in Gold.

BrockLesnar, the Naughty Machamp
= I didn't see that Nature coming. All I wanted was to name a Machop after Brock Lesnar, famous for being the first WWE Wrestler to become a UFC Heavyweight Champion, as well as his neck muscles and deltoids.


Now in my current Platinum file:
Infernape: Wukong
Obvious reference. I may be referencing the LoL character, who happens to be a reference of the Monkey King of Ancient Chinese Lore.

Luxray: Kendra
It was a she, and a brave female she is. I named her Kendra since i was thinking of african-american runners. I wanted a male Shinx but I just had to capture a female one and be happy with it. For some reason, Kendra sounds really nice on a female Luxray. Luxray

Scyther: Slashe
A Fancy re-spelling of an otherwise REALLY COMMON and mundane nickname to give to any Scyther. I was thinking of Guns and Roses during the time I caught this guy.

MALE Roserade: Spankwire
I have a Roselia in my Emerald file named Yuri, so i decided to name HIS distant cousin be named Spankwire since I really wanted a female Budew to raise but I couldn't find such. He has a Rash nature so he definitely deserves the nickname.

Pachirisu, Follow Me
I bet everyone already knows the reference.
Spoiler:
For those who do not: The VGC 2014 World Champion used a Follow Me Pachirisu to help his garchomp survive an otherwise fatal Draco Meteor, with the Pachirisu ACTUALLY SURVIVING THE HIT to win his beloved title


Buneary (will eventually evolve it to Lopunny): Rouge
Its my own personal mockery of some of the Sonic's furry fanbase. Lopunny is one of the common pokephile targets and Rouge is one of the common targets of Sonic furry fetishes.

Togepi: Mr. Egg
The egg that Cynthia gives to the player, born with a Modest Nature and decent IVs. Its my small dedication to MunchingOrange's Pokemon Omicron let's play where he has a Togekiss who's carrying his team really hard.

Speaking of Zeta and Omicron, a fan game that I happen to love, I'll share some of those nicknames as well. The interesting ones. I haven't played that in a while but I still remember the more memorable nicknames i gave to some of my mons.

Spoiler:
Magmortar: Avdoll (Female)
= Named after one of the main characters in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Chapter 3: Stardust Crusaders. Avdol is the Stand User of Magician Red, a fire type Stand. But because the Magby i got was a female, I decided to pun out Avdol's name into a feminine version of it and stick by it.
Spoiler:
In Pokemon Zeta and Omicron: Magby, Bellsprout, and Horsea are the starter pokemon
