  • 6/10. I dig Mindbender a lot though!

    Pokemon: Zigzagoon
    Name: HM B****

    'cause... what the hell else do you use it for

    5/10 - funny name but poor zigzagoon!

    I have a female Dragonair named Therru. She's named after the girl in The Tales Of Earthsea anime who is a dragon. I thought it to be fitting

  • That's a beautiful name~ :3 9/10

    My Dratini (male) is named St. Julian. He's named after a character in Clive CUssler's novels who is a marine history expert. :3

    My Eevee is named Twist because it reminds me of a twist ice cream cone.

  • 7/10 for Seedala. Pretty name for an ugly pokemon :)

    Willow - Rapidash. There was some weird connection in my head to charcoal... willow turns to charcoal

    Also, Willow from Buffy is my favourite character from anything ever. Ever.

  • 8 to willow. Not something common- a good thing.

    Also, as for-
    Augusta-Pidgeot- You can see why in the name
    Kinekico-Kadabra- I thought of it when I caught it. It sounded good,so there it is.
    Chery Bite-Cherubi- For what it is.

  • Augusta: 6.5/10. It's unique, but I feel as if the other names are better.
    Kinekico:7.5/10. I like this one a lot!
    Chery Bite: 7/10. It sounds pretty good. :)

    Pokemon: Parasect.
    Nickname: Homeskilly.
    Reason: I always thought of Homeskilly when I saw Parasect. Although it's in the sprite where it looks like it's smiling (I think the FR/LG sprite). The name grew on me ever since, and made Parasect one of my favourite Pokemon.

    Homeskilly: 9.5/10
    Cool name.


    Dragonair, female
    Silhouette
    Reason: Because. I just don't know why. It's what I named my Dragonair in my game.

    Politoed, female
    Ribbita
    Reason: Well, Politoed is a frog, after all, and frogs go "ribbit ribbit" (otherwise those little kids are lying), and Politoed reminds me of Ribbita from Megaman battle network.

  • Person above gave no name...

    The Pokemon: Gengar
    The Name: Nightmare
    The Reason: Yeah, it's generic, but I love Gengar and I just thought since he liked spooking people, and scaring the crap out of them, I'd name him Nightmare. Any time I use a Gastly or any other ghost type that I like, I name them Nightmare.

  • It's quite a cool name, goes with the spooky theme. 6.5/10

    Pokemon: Gorebyss
    Name: Alice
    Reason: Well it's a girl, and Alice is a girl's name, but also cus to me Gorebyss looks like it's sort of not-all-there or in dreamland, just like Alice in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll.

  • Hehe 7.5/10 Alice seems like it would be a good name for a Gorebyss. (But can't Gorebyss be male?)

    Pokemon: Houndoom
    Name: Dante
    Reason: When I look at Houndoom I think of a hellhound, and then I think of hell, and when I think of hell I think of demons, and when I think of demons I think of Devil May Cry...

    Dante's a fine and "hell-ish" name. But one thing and another just doesn't fit. :/
    "Ifrit" or something would be fitting more than "Dante".
    8/10

    Name: Klesta
    Pokemon: Skarmory
    Reason: Dunno... I've been playing FFTA2 too much lately, methinks. 'Sides, Klesta's a birdie. It won't hurt, no? :D

  • 9/1o

    Name: Sparkette

  • Sparkette 4/10 Just...yeah.

    Pokemon: Male Lickitung
    Nickname: Lucas

    Doesn't he look like he would like to lick lollipops all day long? What else would that tongue be for? "Lucas" seems like a good name for anybody who likes lollipops.

  • ...4/10 Mew's hair is so fine that it needs to be under a microscope to be seen...I don't see how it would be fuzzy...

    Pokemon:
    Snorlax
    Name: Haymitch
    Reason: If you've ever read "The Hunger Games" or "Catching Fire" then you will know why xD
