What kinds of nicknames do you give your Pokemon?

[Ace~Sasaki]

I used to name my pokemon, not anymore though. However, I do know a boy who named his Happiny "Delicious" ...o_0... Be afraid. Be very afraid...

 

[[aRG*]]

i give my pokemon real name nicknames.
My current party is:
Heracross - Harry
Salamence - Alastor
Skarmory - Avery
Suicune - Sylvester
Togekiss - Grace
Metagross - Big Bob

Dont ask me why, but i like giving them just plain real human names.

 

[Charmageddon]

I often name my Pokemon after my favourite television characters or other pop culture figures. For example, my Pearl team right now includes a Misdreavus, Roselia, and Bilbarel, named Willow (BtVS), Cordelia (BtVS/Angel) and Gwen (Torchwood) respectively. I also have a Monferno called Bubbles and a Kadabra named Derren (Brown).

 

[Alexithymia~]

I like to give my pokemon the japanese names, or a sweet little variant~

My Houndoom is called Heru~

[Stellar]

Usually references to an anime or a game. At one point I had a team named entirely after the brush gods of Okami.

Right now, I have a Gengar named Tenebrae, a Jolteon named Tonitrus, and a Dragonite named Ba'ul. Points for someone who knows what they're from. xD

 

[KitFox]

I dont give my pokemon nicknames. At least the ones im gonna keep. I just give them horrible names and then trade them in the GTS.

 

[pika keeper]

Something related to them, for instance:

Groudon = Earthhalf
Kyogre= Seastorm
Haunter= Hypno-Boo

Blah..

 

[Houndour2004]

I only have one in FireRed.

Squirtle is named Speed from the turtle in The Swan Princess.

 

[Bombah!]

Normally I don´t give my Pokémon Nicknames.
BUT, whan I played Colosseum. I named every Pokémon -ball, like Bubbleball, my Mantine, Psyball, my Meditite, and Milkball, my Miltank^^

And when I beat Diamond, a friend gave me pearl (he didn´t like it, so I got it for free XD), and I named my Pokémon by their english names. The German are, compared to the english ones, ...bad...

Examples:
Bidoof - Bidiza
Piplup - Plinfa
Turtwig - Chelast
Purugly - Schnurrgarst

Sounds pretty stoopyd, right?

 

[The Scientist]

I usually give some of my pokemon Metroid-ish names because I love the Metroid games.

My Vaporeon's name is Maridia and as soon as I get a Pokemon that can learn Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, and Charge Beam, I'm going to name it Samus. :D

Octillery, Clefable, and Dragonite should be able to learn all those moves. Porygon is close, but I don't think it gets Flamethrower.

My Xatu's name is Chozo for reasons that should be obvious. I also have a Metagross named Quadraxis.

Besides that, these are my active Pokemon:

Arcanine - Schneider
Bronzong - Panzer
Gliscor/Yanmega - Jaeger
Dusknoir - Eidolon
Tentacruel - Medusa
Magnezone/Electrode - Voltech
Togekiss - Egg
Ninjask - Ninja Egg
Lugia - Ruhiel
Groudon - Gorenghast
Kyogre - Aquamentus

There are others...

[Miz en Scène]

I rarely give nicknames. But when I do, I use japanese nicknames.

 

[Logiedan]

I give my pokemon nicknames that are descriptive,random. Sometimes for mythical beasts or gods. And sometimes Japanese names or their japanese names
Example:
At the beginning of most pokemon games I catch a bird pokemon to help along the story like Pidgey,Starly,Tailow. Eventually I always name them Aquilla.

 

[Yams]

I usually choose something common in the names of their whole evolution line, and add a Y to the end. Toxicroak - Croaky, Crobat - Batty, Roserade - Rosy, etc.
