Calvary the Empoleon: I was reminded of the calvary. She's a girl! :D
Rayleigh and Riley the Lucario: Riley's obvious, and Rayleigh is for all my female Lucario. O.O
Hikari the Blaziken: Why not name her this?
DeathsDoor the Darkrai: Yeah, yeah. I'm horrible, but doesn't the name fit? ^^;
I'll think of more. My brain's not in tonight. xD
Oh!
Balthasar and Beatrice the twin Glaceon and Leafeon(respecitvely): Just cause I love those names...and they're fraternal twins. :D
Empoleon: Enchantrix
I had wanted to use this one for a long time. Enchantrix is my starter.
Lucario: Lyla
Pronounced LEE-La, I got this name from Cocorosie song, called Lyla.
Staraptor: Steelbeak
The tip of his beak was gray.
Luxray: Spynx
I misspelled sphinx, but I guess it looks okay. Right?
Heatran: Kalshazzak
Going against my policy of not naming stuff with book names, Heatran fit the description of the demon, Kalshazzak, from the first Harry Dresden book, Storm Front.
Giratina: Diablo
I'm pretty sure it means devil in Spanish.
Grovyle: Malawissa
In a book I read (The Waterstone) 'Malawissa' meant a tree that stood strong and tall in a storm.
M2 (Mewtwo)- Named after the M2 Bind from Pokemon Special
Dragon (Charizard)- Because Charizard can learn Dragon-type moves
SPEEDY (female Venusaur)- My first Venusaur was quite fast so I named this one SPEEDY thinking that she would be fast too.
Pearl party Pokémon
Red (Gyarados)- Named after Red from Pokemon Special, of course! :D
Leafy*heart icon* (Torterra)- Simply because it's a Grass-type. It sounds more suitable for a Bulbasaur though.
Space (Palkia)- Palkia is the deity of space and I really couldn't think of anythind else XD.
Tara (Staraptor)- All the evos in this line have "star" in their name and the Hindi word for star is tara.
Hmm. All my nicknames are "unofficial" because I dont name them in game.

Kip - Marshtomp - Sounds cute! :3
Mush - Igglybuff - Well, it is the Marshmellow pokemon.
Eclipse - Darkrai - I just had to name it this. I love it!
Star - Ralts - Ralts backwards is Stlar. Take out the l, and you get Star. Stellar would've worked too, but I didn't like the sound of it...
Soo.. Yeah.. I like short, cute names that you can say so fast it sounds even cuter.
