My Emerald team:
Linoone: Rossetti ~ After Christina Rossetti, a Victorian poetess.
Grovyle: Satoshi ~ After Ash/Satoshi from the Anime, as he had a Treeko/Grovyle/Sceptile.
Sableye: Belle ~ I was watching Beauty and the Beast at the time. And I think Sableye is cute.
Swellow: Sapphire ~ I dunno. It just seemed to fit when I caught baby Taillow. :3
Kirlia: Dickens ~ After Charles Dickens. I was reading Oliver Twist.
Swablu: ...Swablu. I forgot to nickname him. >_<
Some select Platinum:
Torterra: Edward, after Edward Nygma. (Props if you know who he is.)
Luxray: Kord, after Ted Kord, AKA Blue Beetle.
Togekiss: Dorian, after Dorian Gray. (The book, not the awful new film. :|)
Garchomp: Decameron. It's a book of Italian short stories.
Honchkrow: Shinji, after...well, you know.
Regirock: Jindai, after...again...I need a Reiji to have the trifecta. XD
Lucario: Cookie. My baby Riolu looked like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
