Your most embarrassing Pokemon nicknames

[xseed]

welp time to reveal my MOST embarissing nickname. more embarissing than bigmomma for snorlax. I named this little guy "prince charming" on pokemon showdown. why? I have no idea

 

[CptSwaggerPants]

Godlybo*ner, LlCruelJ, Dr Tease, Studkisses, Lil Payne and others similar.

Haha I love these: some of them are absolutely hilarious. Thank you original thread creator, you're wonderful :D

I'm uncreative, so most of my Pokemon just have a y at the end. Ziggy, the Zigzagoon Birdy the generic bird at the start of the games.. Geodude is Rocky or Georock :P

I have named Squirtle Sheldon and Axew Axel, which I thought was pretty cool though :) and a Crobat called Batzinga which imo is AWESOME :)

Also: Tubby the Snorlax :)

I can't really think off the top of my head of any particularly bad nicknames, but usually I play Pokemon with my Boyfriend, so we have a "your next Pokemon will be called ____" kinda thing, so I have lots of gender confused Pokemon, such as Alice the male Rapidash :P

This one isn't really embarrassing but I thought it was pretty silly. I was going through my PC in my Black 2 game. I came across a Drifblim that had the punniest nickname ever. I named it PacificBlim (Or PacifiBlim because of character restraints). I was choking with laughter. I completely forgot about PacificBlim. I guess I caught him right after I saw Pacific Rim in theaters.

Checked my old White save and found some real gems

• Miley - Minccino (uh)
• RAWRant - Flygon (wow I was not funny back when I was younger)
• Neo-Frog - Spectile (makes no sence)

 

[Grif of Hearts]

Gost the Haunter, Pokémon Silver.

Not only was it horrendously unimaginative, being named after the inspiration for the Pokémon, but I even had the cheek to spell it incorrectly.

 

[Baby~Eevee]

The most noobish sounding nickname I've ever given a Pokemon was "Giant!!!!" and that was to, you guessed it, Wailord. Even so, I find it more silly than anything really :P

Most of the nicknames I give Pokemon are supposed to be stupid. Otherwise, they're just normal like my Pidove, "Nick."

The cutest nickname I've given was my Mantyke, "Lil 'Tyke."

 

[pompayyy]

Tubby the Snorlax :)

Ha, I had a Raichu named Tubby in Diamond. Also an Ampharos named Chese (we meant to spell cheese XD) comes to mind. But to prevent future mistakes, I have a foolproof algorithm to making good names for pokemon: Just make the most Japanese sounding word your mind could possibly form, and make sure the first letter is the same as the as the first letter of the pokemon (ex. Zangooose = Zuriniad). Or just name it after a band.

 

[Ari Niko]

Some of these nicknames nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Worst I've nicknamed is a Ratatta "FEAR" back in middle school and using it in a competitive battle.

 

[DynalMaestro]

I loaded up my pokemon Emerald a few days back and my Swampert was name Big Ol Bert,I facepalmed and wondered what i was thinking when i was little

 

[Infinitum]

I called a Magikarp: Greatness.

Which was quite wrong...

 

[.:batto:.]

the very first nicknamed pokemon i owned was Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow.

Pikapoo the Pikachu...

 

[Gogoat Rocks!]

In pokemon Ruby,
Rabbit the Magikarp. what the Fudge cake was I thinking when I was little?!
"facepalm"

 

[CoffeeDrink]

Pengus! The Metapod, koff~

Don't even think of touching my Pengus! I've named so many Pokemon that it'd be hard to choose just one. I think the random ones that hold no purpose might be a bit embarrassing, but these are usually bred Pokemon I'll be releasing, koffi~

 

[NeonMewtwo]

In Pokémon Red or Blue (can't remember which version), I had an Alakazam that I nicknamed.....get ready for this...

The nickname was Pig?Latin...I look back on that now and wonder what in the world was I thinking?

 

[Blastin'Tyruntz]

Pokemon embarrassing nicknames, boy where do i begin...?
Want a wall of text?

Well back in the 4th gen, if you were seven i was...10? yeah something like that, I bought Pokemon Pearl because they ran out of Diamond and i had a load of money with me.
Because of that, i had developed a form of hatred towards every pokemon i caught, and that is why i got these nicknames:

Starly "Bird-X"....YEAH, Became my 1st lvl 100 and i was so happy i passed out.
Ditto "Gum" because he looked like a just spit it out of my mouth.
Onix "Unicorn" because i really didnt know what to call him....

AND...

Empoleon: "Anna"...it was a boy....DAMN.

But i had some good names thoughout the years like:

Derpeon the Eevee
Kaede the Chikorita
Holly sh*t the Riolu....
and others

 

[RockyPlaysWithPokes]

My most embarrassing nickname:

Tepig:

Never mind the fact that the Arceus-damned thing sucked when I first got it, I was an insensitive little brat a couple years back. I named the damn thing "Fatty." It was my first level 100, and I beat the elite four with Fatty (now an Emboar) as a solo runner. I was so ashamed I took him to the name rater in Castelia City, and changed his name to Joe. Then I shoved Joe into a PC box and since I beat the game, I saw the need to go crazy with an Action Replay.

 

[pokemasta92]

Even as a kid I never nicknamed my Pokémon. I just prefer calling them by their real name. I also get satisfaction in seeing the evolved forms names. Like when my Combusken evolved into Blaziken, I wanted to see the name Blaziken, not Torchy or something lol.

 

[Shenkkazoo]

Ooh god, when I was little I always used to watch my brothers play final fantasy so I decided to name my female charmander in fire red Sephiroth. In all caps.
I'd never even played final fantasy myself.

 

[ChipmunkGamingInc.]

Ah, the joys of looking back to your first Pokemon game and saying to yourself, "Oh, sweet Arceus, what was I thinking?"

But! That's not why I'm here. I'm here to report a cruel, saddening joke played on me. For the backstory on this, just go to the spoiler below... It's a sad tale. But still a better love story that Twilight.

My friend named a Beautifly "MISSINGNO." and traded it to over Wi-Fi so I couldn't read the nickname... Ugh, the pixelated monster...

Spoiler:

To little 7 year old me, butterfly Pokemon always had a special place in my heart because they were almost always the first Pokemon you caught. Yeah, I had my Piplup, travelling thru Sinnoh. Shinx? Easy out. Bidoof? Cool, but please. Starly? Not a chance. It wasn't until I saw a Wurmple for the first time that I actually caught a Pokemon. My Beautifly was my best friend as well as my Empoleon. Life was good. Empoleon, Beautifly, Dustox, Mothim, Staraptor, and Luxray. But Beautful, the cleverly named Beautifly (*facepalm*), always had a special place in my heart.

But little did I know that our fun would soon end...

Spoiler:

I just had to catch this pixelated abomination. But, this was not my idea originally, oh no. My friend's elder brother is the one who got my friend and I into Pokemon. He told me about the ultimate Pokemon, telling me this totally false story about how the creators of Pokemon wanted to make an ultra powerful Pokemon that could never be defeated, unless it was battling it's own kind. This Pokemon was the Creator of All, and it was the ancestor of all Pokemon, thus could learn all moves. They liked this idea right up until they were about to mass produce the game. Unable to take the Pokemon out without postponing the release date of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, they simply took out the sprite, but not the data, and replaced it with Arceus. That data was buried under a ton of coding, and never implemented into the game. Seems like a pretty legit and elaborate story for a twelve year old. I'm almost fourteen, I should know.

Anyways, I allowed him to alter my game with a GameHackerThing. I don't really remember what he used. Well, I caught He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Gah, I can't even bring myself to say it's name anymore. I was pretty proud of myself, until I realized...

Spoiler:

I'd lost my best friend to this thing of death. It had murdered my Beautifly with no regrets, or second thought. Then disposed of it's lifeless body into the pits of Pokemon Diamond Version where no Pokemon, dead or alive, had ever come out of. Countless friends have been lost to, dare I even say it's name? No, I can do this. Countless friends have been lost to the pixelated sprite of despair, this image of doomsday. These friends, innocent Pokemon that have done nothing to harm anyone, were stabbed in the back with a rusty knife, by this once-thought friend. They were destroyed, never to be seen again, their life was simply erased. Who this heartless hybrid half-breed of a Pokemon is, if it even is a Pokemon, no one will ever know. It's purpose, lost in the depths of coding. This creature of destruction's name:
MissingNo.

I hope you all enjoyed my short story/personal experience on how I lost my best friend to this THING. Yeah, I kinda rambled on at the end, but hey. I can get overly creative sometimes.
