    I saw a Thread here that was similar but it's been locked that made me think of slang words that could be used in the Pokemon world.
    Tell me what you think and if you like them XD

    Pokéslang In The Sinnoh Region! - By Professor Genki

    Gift Egg (Adjective) An undesirable person/Pokémon, unpopular.
    Meaning: To give someone away at birth to any passerby out of a desire to be rid of them, like a Pokémon egg found at Daycare.

    "Like anyone would want to be friends with you, Gift egg!"
    "That trainer is such a Gift Egg, no wonder his Pokémon won't obey him"

    Lax/Laxing (Verb) To be lazy, do very little.
    Meaning: To do nothing more but to sit around and eat/sleep like a Snorlax.

    "I'm too busy Laxing to join you on your Quest"

    Twitchers (Adjective) Someone who twitches frantically in public trying to meet your gaze
    Meaning: An annoying Pokémon trainer that approaches you for a battle even if you don't want to.

    "Damn, I better be careful. There's a bunch of Twitchers up ahead"

    Dex/Dexing (Verb/Adj) Moving through an area inhabited by wild Pokémon. To fill the Pokédex.
    Meaning: To search an area where wild Pokémon can/will appear

    "I have to Dex through this area to get to the next city"

    Gloom Cannister (Noun) A Repel.
    Meaning: A horrible smell in a can that only Pokémon can sense, it repels wild Pokémon. It resembles the foul smelling Pokémon Gloom.

    "I just brought a Gloom Cannister to help me get past the cave ahead"


    And that concludes Vol 1 of Genki's Sinnoh Slang. Now you should be able to Lax while Dexing, ride with a Gloom Canister, steer clear of Twitchers, and avoid catching any Gift Eggs!
