The Nickname Thread!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I always give them human names

so lets say Staraptor♀- Sarah

Actually in hindsight, giving them human names does seem a bit creepy now that I think about it

Bob (my Venusaur) used Vine Whip :shocked:

[Sir Sterling]

Treecko - Drundger
Luxray - Jawror
Mightyena - Prunker
Pidgey - Fervor

I do not recall giving nicknames to my other Pokemon. Although when I was younger I would give my Pokemon nicknames based off of how people would react to them. That is how Horsea who could use Smokescreen got the nickname "MY EYES!" =P

 

[Emotion.]

A few of my recently hatched/caught ones-
Snorlax- Gaz
Mudkip - Al
Cyndaquil- Snow
Chikorita- Flux
Larvitar- Night, and another called Sandstorm.
After trying to hath a good natured Bagon (TOO MANY BAGON! ARRGHH!), I used so many random names (Yes I name every one that I hatch :L).
On ROMs I tend to go for even more random names, like Dave, Terry, and them types.

 

[Caelus]

These are the names I recall using in my Diamond file:

Luxray - X-ray (A play on his name, and I think that's where Luxray got its name from)
Starapter - Aether (Named after the Greek God of Air, Aether; though it fitted him)
Dialga - Tiempo (Named him after the Spanish word for time)


That's all I remember.

Rapidash-Mercy
Haunter-Stefan
Ponyta-Adam
Pikachu-Sophie

[Sudeki]

Everyone else has awesome names xD, I rarely actually name my pokemon, and if I do its only once there a final form and I want them in my party and I change it from say, "ABRA" "Abra" I hate how they make the pokemon names all caps -_-.

 

[Calvo819]

i finally got my own Milotic.


i named her Konata.

anyone get the2 reference? >:3

 

[Legendario]

i don't usually nickname pokemon but if i did i'd give them one with a meaning.


Snorlax - Egg (he hatched from an egg when i got him)
Riolu/Lucario - Riley (Riley is the one to give you the Riolu (egg))
Starly- tall grass ((in pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum)like most people a starly is their first catch because it's really the first pokemon and it's found in tall grass)

and many more names and all with reasons

my fav nickname for a pickachu/pichu/raichu - mansion (you find it in the pokemon mansion)
