    What are some nicknames for pokemon you caught that you thought were just clever, or worked so well with the pokemon that it was just funny...

    I always catch a Gastly and name it "Pooter"
    Also I always for some reason name my fire starter (if I choose the fire one) Peanut
    I get a Bellsprout and name it Leif

    I dont like duskull but If I caught one and used it I would name it Grim
     
    its pretty lame and everyone probably knows it, but on my last playthrough of silver i named my slowpoke speedy
     
    I named my Charizard Pyro/Pyra... o.O
    And, like everyone else, I named my Gengar Nightmare.
     
    I let my brother go on my sapphire game for a while and he caught a really high level Walrein and he asked if he could name it. I didn't really mind what it was called so I let him. But he ended up calling it a really rude name and I did mind. So I couldn't really use that pokemon.
    Also on Sapphire I got Torchic as a starter and called it Cosette. I had just seen Les Miserables.
     
    Ditto to you Gale.
    And sometimes I name them with cool nicknames.
    So like my Sharpedo is: "SharkyFangzz" Lol.
    They're very unimaginative nicknames.
     
    I gave my Tropius the name, Tropicana like the drink or Numel the name Ah-Nu-Nu

    but other then that I gave my Pokemon Japanese names or nicknames of the Japanese names


    :t354:TG
     
    Well, I would be mean and breed boys of Pokemon others would want and trade them over Wi-Fi's GTS. I would name them terrible names and make sure they're boys so they can't breed them unless they have a Ditto or another Turtwig. xD I am mean, but I loved it.
    I can't even tell you the names for these Turtwigs because this is a kids site. xD
     
    I nicknamed my Blaziken in Emerald 'Colonel', as in Colonel Sanders, the KFC guy. Sounds cool and has a good pun, so I like it. I also called my Breloom in that game 'Sylvester' since Breloom's like a boxer and Sylvester Stallone played Rocky...

    Finally, I'm going to name my Torterra "Terrapine" since it's what I originally thought its English name was going to be, and it's a rare triple pun. (Terra=earth, pine=trees, terrapin=scientific term for turtles)
     
    I called my Psyduck, Peking...

    Get it?... Cause um... It's like... Peking Duck.... Er.... Yeah....

    :D
     
    I think everyone's used 'God' as a nickname at least once whilst playing a Pokemon game, just to see the message: 'God is evolving!' XD

    Most of the 'amusing' nicknames I've come up with are actually pretty lame. 'Numa Numa' for a Numel, for example.
     
    Let's see, my Pokemon nicknames...

    Arcanine- Schneider, after the orange-armored Liger Zero in Zoids. Liger Zero Schneider's signature move was also oddly similar to ExtremeSpeed.

    Claydol- Pompeii, after the ancient ruins of the Roman city. They have actually found clay dolls in Pompeii, so...

    Xatu- Chozo, after the psychokinetic bird aliens in Metroid.

    Magnezone/Electrode- Voltech, a combination of "voltage" and "technology"

    Tentacruel- Medusa, pretty straightforward.

    Dusknoir- Eidolon, as "eidolon" is another word for a ghost.

    Gliscor- Jaeger; after naming Arcanine Schneider, I wanted to have a Jaeger and Panzer on my team. Since my Gliscor was by no means a tank, I chose Jaeger.

    Bronzong- Panzer, 'cause it's a tank.

    Lugia- Ruhiel, after a purple-and-white Lightning Sky robo from the Custom Robo series.

    Marowak (female)- GHOST. Do I need to explain this one?

    Porygon-Z- uberhax.exe. Do I need to explain this one?

    Metagross- Quadraxis, after the four-legged mech boss in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
     
    A Mudkip was named 'Winter', since that was when I started my game.

    I gave that same nickname to my Leafeon!
    I also have:

    -An Electrode named Pokeball (I laugh when it comes out in battle--"Go! Pokeball!")
    -A Pinsir named OUCH!!
    -A Koffing named Cigarette
    -A Grumpig named Miss Piggy
    -Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf named Zelda, Ganondorf, and Link, respectively. The three reminded me of the Triforce when they stopped Dialga/Palkia from destroying all existence.
    -A Ditto named Nympho (because I often use it for breeding)
    -An Espeon named Akamaru (They look sorta similar, don't they...?)
    -A Swampert named Skippy (I named him so because of the fact that he's a mudskipper, but it's funny because it also happens to be a brand of peanut butter)
    -Plusle and Minun named Ami and Yumi (the J-pop duo Puffy)
    -Gallade and Gardevoir named Arthur and Guinevere
    -An Azumarill named Bob (because his tail bobs up and down in the water)
     
    Umm... i usually just write the first thing that pops up in my head(even since, if it's a Pokémon i'll be using in my team i think a little first...) like:

    Palkia = Gandalf
    Luxray = Bryngelsson(the pipe-man in my house)
    Infernape = Greve Olaf(The villain in a book i just read, "greve" means "lord" in swedish)
    Roserade = Monalisa(the painting... i just thought Budew looked like a Monalisa)
    Sudowoodo = Milan(The guy in my school who goes around in the computer room and check so no one porn-surfs, and says he's gonna kill everyone)
    Milotic = FLORFELO(PalParked from my Ruby BattleTower Team)
    Pikachu = Pikapain(James in the anime...)
