What nicknames do you give to your pokemon

[metapod23]

For the last game I had, my main party:

Infernape - Cheeky (because he's a cheeky monkey)
Golduck - Dafty (because Psyduck's daft!)
Luxray - Ben (because he's a mouse)
Graveler - Stoner (later replaced by Aggron with no nickname)
Dialga - Tardis (because he controls time like the Doctor's time machine!)

I also had the Abra, Kaaza, that I traded in-game for I think, that evolved into Kadabra.

 

[PokemonMasterRazir]

I usually do something witty.

Current Diamond file:
Infernape-Death Mach
Jolteon-Doom
[ShinySOFTRESET]Bastidon-Reaper
Gyarados-Killer
Salamence-Blood
Dialga-Fluffy

SO MUCH WIN.

 

[Ayselipera]

I never nickname my pokemon, but when I was
little I did. I named my onyx rocknroll. Hahaha

 

[Sweet Jasmine]

I always give Cute Names and i got Cute Pokemons like:
Poochie!
Sweetie!
Kisses!
Cherry!
Haha hope you like mines.

Usually I don't like nicknaming pokemon. Don't know why, it just bugs me. I always nickname my starters though, since they're a little more personal to me. =P So...
In Fire Red, my Blastoise is named Yin.
In Sapphire, my Blaziken is named Fire Blaze (I was young and stupid xD)
And in Pearl, my Infernape is named Monkey (it sounds stupid, but anyone who's read "Journey to the West" knows that it's actually EPIC.)

And one of my sisters has made it her goal to name every pokemon in her Pearl game after some food or drink. And so far, she's succeeded. xD

 

[Jehowi]

I give them nicknames, or at least if I'm able to give them nicknames. Half my pokémon team consists of traded pokémon :p

 

[DeathOfBlades]

Snorlax, Bronzong, and Blissey = Tank or Fatass.
Ferligatr = SteveIrwin
Heracross = Chuck Norris
Gengar = ******

 

[FalconJoker]

Team I currently run is called Deck of Cards:

King - Gyarados
Deuce- Tyranitar
Joker - Infernape
Jack - Flygon
Queen - Salamence
Ace - Scizor

[deliriouspurple]

[boost3r]

These are the nicknames i give my pokemons
Infernape - Blaze
Staraptor - Raptor
Lumineon - Winx

 

[Sweet Visions]

It depends on that type of Pokemon. For my main who I just like and bring everywhere (starter) I tend to give them a nickname like my pet's irl name.

 

[alisaie]

It depends on the Pokemon, really. :3 Some of my nicknames include these:

Persian: Fishstick
Clefairy: Fruitbowl
Sandslash: LORD SALSA ( My favorite one. <3 )
Oddish: Taco Salad
Raticate: Cheesepuff

etc etc etc. :3 I sometimes also name them after Anime characters and such. All depends on which game, and my mood when I catch it.

 

[BeachBoy]

I give my pocket monsters names after weather terms.

Too many to list, really. D:

 

[Vrai]

I tend to do one of the following:

a) name it after something I've eaten recently
b) name it something that it looks like
c) randomly select 4-9 letters that seem like they'd be a cool name

There are also multiple Pokémon in my FireRed that are named "Chair" for some reason.

 

[Giraffes? Giraffes!]

I usually name them after real life names, or dirty things. Which i won't name here. Other then that i sometimes name them random stuff i think up.

 

[Mr. Tabachi]

i liek to niknam my pokemonn poop and othe funnny names because i lol

im so witty

 

[Prototype Omega]

I generally nickname only my competitive teams as I like them to have themes. My 'play through' team, nah. I just let'm keep there normal names.

 

[Tanya1234]

None - I tend to let them keep the name they were given.

Same here... :)
I like to keep the real names.

 

[Raykon]

I rarely actually give my Pokemon Nicknames, but sometimes I give my favorite Pokemon my pet's name, but thats about it.
