5th Gen What kind of nickname are you, how do you represent the Pokémon you do~

[Ho-Oh]

By now, some of you may have played through the games and already caught many Pokémon. For now, I'm not interested in what your team is or how many you've caught; but what you've named them. Considering B/W has quite a diverse range of Pokémon, there are many nicknames you can come up with. Before you respond, be aware that there is a thread in Pokémon General Gaming, asking why you nickname Pokémon in general, if you want to discuss that, then do so in that thread - this thread is only based on what you've nicknamed certain B/W Pokémon. - or plan to nickname.

Now, what are some of the most interesting names you've named your B/W Pokémon? Have you maybe called something a certain way because you dislike its Japanese name and you prefer the fan-made name? Or maybe another reason? If you haven't played the games, what do you plan to nickname certain Pokemon? Maybe call Victini "victory" because it represents that? Or are you planning to name certain Pokémon based on someone you know what you think represents that Pokémon? Alternatively, you could just give them a Syd nickname.

 

[Boarbeque]

I name them actual names like Jared, Tom or Sally etc.,

 

[Livewire]

I have a bunch of planned nick-names. For starters, I plan on naming my bachura after you, tbh. xD

I have more epic names picked out, these are some Ive thought of.

Maggyo will become Flounderp.

This will become Garbagemon until I think of something more creative.

Whenever I catch one of these, It will either be dubbed Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins. xD

 

[Ricochet Orange]

80's. For the 80's disco. I havent caught one yet but I'm in the route I think they appear in.

Bloby. It's a floating blob.

Medic. It's the healer Pokemon.

Clam. Look at the body.



I also might make a joke team with themed names. One I made was a joke team of a bunch of Machamp. "We will", "Own You", "Because", "We", "Rock". It was a joke team with all the exact same stats and movesets. The sixth member of that team was "MACHAMP" the Hitmontop.

 

[Sydian]

Churine is forever Seed bby<3 :) That is all! -flies away-

Usually I name my Pokemon after my fanfic characters, but this time I might go for an anime/manga theme this time. Already named my Pokemon after Fullmetal Alchemist characters in Emerald, so I might go for Black Cat for B/W. Pretty much this is how I'll name my planned Pokemon team:

Train, because he's the main character in Black Cat and this guy is my starter. :P

Sven, only because of the Pokemon looking cool with glasses. :P

Eve, because it's a pretty name and this Pokemon is pretty.

Jenos, because this Pokemon is very fierce.

Creed, only because this Pokemon looks crazy, haha.

Kyoko, because the character can use fire attacks, and this Pokemon is a fire type, so yeah. :P

 

[Surmonter]

I don't nickname Pokemon. :P

Except one (family).

Nickname: Gaga

It's the Lady Gaga of Pokemon. :D

 

[Ravecat]

Lear
Because he is royalty, and obviously a king, which reminds me of Shakespeare's King Lear. The ghost typing influences this also, not that Lear is ever a ghost but because of the themes of the entire play.

Megazord
Named after Power Rangers! :D

Nathaniel
I had a hermit crab named Nathaniel, who was named after Nathaniel from War of the Worlds. I also had Beth and The Journalist, so if it was a girl it would be Beth, and I might just call it Journalist anyway.

Clockwork
Obvious reasons, I would think.

Terrorpin
Because he's a turtle, but he is scary. :3

Jellol
Named after a fakemon I created; the two don't really share any features besides the fact they're jelly-like.

 

[Mew~]

I always nickname my starters somthing like one of there powefullest moves, I called my Typlosion in SS Eruption and I want to change my Daikenki's name to HydroCannon but on the japanese game theres not enough space for the letters so ima wait for it to be released here :)

 

[PlatinumDude]

Here are some nicknames I thought up for some of the Isshu Pokemon (though I may not use any of them):

Emboar: Porky (after Porky Pig from Looney Tunes)

Daikenki: Kenshi/Battousai (after the main character in Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X)

Muurando: Sugar (after my sister's dog)

Yanakki: Elvis (after Elvis Presley because he has Elvis' hairdo)

Kenhorou: RoadRunner (after the Roadrunner in Looney Tunes)

Zeburaika: Marty (after the zebra in the Madagascar movies)

Gigaiasu: Chromastone (after the alien in Ben 10: Alien Force)



Doryuuzu: Grand Mole (after Neo-Spacian Grand Mole from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)


Zuruzukin: Eminem (after the rapper/singer because both look gangster)

Desukan: Ramses (after the Egyptian pharaoh)

Abagoora: Crush (after the Finding Nemo character)


Rankurusu: Gummy Bear (it looks like one!)


Shikijika/Mebukijika: Bambi (after the Disney character)


Shubarugo: Lancelot (because it's based on a knight)


Shandera: Skellington (after Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas)


Agirudaa: Kakashi (after the Naruto character because their faces are hidden)


More to come.

 

[GaXeL]

1.) Baskin 2.) Dairy Queen 3.) Ben & Jerry
Zurukuzin shall be named!!! "Lookin' like a foo' wit yo pants on the ground"

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

What a odd title, I think the grammar is off...What Nickname are you, lol, oh sorry I just had to say this
Now for nicknames:
Tsutarja: Ivyss (Sounds like Abyss and has ivy in it :) )
Pokabu: Poka (short for Pokabu )
Majimaru: Nami if it's a female (I want a female one) or Umi if Male (They both mean Sea in Japanese)
I still have to think of more...

 

[Arc]

Since, I have full team down. Nicknames have all been given to them, so now I will present these Five-letter nicknames.

Jaroda = Smug- Everyone should know why he is named this.

Hihidaruma = Poop- Look at the Pokedex information for Darumakka, then you will get it.

Doryuuzu = DRILL- Originally I was supposed to have a Gigaiasu named GIGA, along with a other Pokemon named BREAK, so put those together and get GIGA DRILL BREAK.

Abagora = Elder- Elder Turtle, not original blah blah blah.

Denchura = 4Ever- Named this little girl after Forever, because Forever loves Denchura.

Sazando = High- Little dumb name, the name is supposed to make fun that this guy evolves to his final stage at Level 64.

 

[King Gumball]

I don't nickname Pokemon. :P

Except one (family).

Nickname: Gaga

It's the Lady Gaga of Pokemon. :D

You stole my planned nickname :D

But I think I will keep this

called Train Wreck coz thast is what it looks like.

Lady Gaga is my planned nickname as she can be a male.

Brittany.. Thought it up on the spot. Cute name for a cute pokemon.

Jarooda shall be called "Empress" Because she is a royal pokemon.

 

[fenyx4]

Hmm...as of right now, here are my planned nicknames for some Generation V Pokemon:

Enbuoo - Razorback. Alternate name for a boar. I decided on this and finalized it long ago when Pokabu was first revealed.

Daikenki - I'm still undecided. Maybe Samurotter or Daikenki...

Jaroda - Poison Ivy (Poison implies a threat, and ivy...is ivy, I guess.)


Monkey trio - Oakey, Soakey, and Smokey. They sound so cute! :) Courtesy of BleuVII

Might nickname the garbage Pokemon Garbagiga, still undecided... Courtesy of #Emochu.

Here some other names I might use should they not turn out as actual English names:

I've been browsing one of the Bulbagarden threads, and came across these proposed English names (I'm limiting myself from most of the Pokemon, so I can't post their Japanese names. But they shouldn't be too hard to figure out...)

Baboom - fire monkey (Hihidaruma or pre-evo)
Orangubang - fire monkey (Hihidaruma or pre-evo)
Arachtric - electric spider (Denchura or pre-evo)
Thorantula - electric spider (Denchura)
Crocodune - ground gator/croc (Meguroko)
Sarcophaghoul - sarcophagus (Desukan)

I would LOL if I ever heard a Pokemon Stadium announcer say "It's ORANGUBANG!" It's very fun to say as well! :cer_laugh:

Sarcophaghoul seems to exceed the current 10-character name limit; the only alternatives I can develop would be Sarcofagul or Sarcophagl... But those detract a bit from the original awesomeness of "Sarcophaghoul"...


Here's the aforementioned Bulbagarden thread:

Iront/Aianto - possibly Antantium. Courtesy of elarmasecreta.

Kirikizan - possibly Huricanger/Huracanger (reference to Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger). Always wanted to use that name in some context.

Crimgan - possibly SkulDrache (means 'skull dragon', as it seems to have rib-like structures on its abdomen).

Emonga - possibly Sparky

Ononokusu - Battle-Axe or Axehead; most likely the first one due to the axe-shaped tusks. Something with the word "axe" in it, for sure.

Not nicknaming any of the legendaries, AFAIK right now.


~LOL at the thread title reference...!

 

[Destiny.]

Pokabu: Porkchops
Tsutaja: Smugleaf
Miji(...): Sadface

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Pokabu: Porkchops
Tsutaja: Smugleaf
Miji(...): Sadface

The problem with naming Miji Sadface is that it loses it's sad face...unlike Smugleaf who keeps it's smile all the way though the last form has a monaliza like smile...

 

[Xatumi]

Kobe

Lebron

Rondo

Nash

KG

Jordan
