Scizor: RogueRouge - In Gen 2 my cousin needed help naming her Scizor. I suggested "Rouge Rose" but misspelled it ""Rogue Rose." She's an X-Men fan so it worked out.

Swampert: DeltaForce - Pun on the Chuck Norris movie and a river's delta.

Gengar: Ursula - One of my favorite Disney villians. Gengar's not a Water-type but it's personality and body shape match.

Darkrai: Winnowill - After the "ElfQuest" villianess.

Shaymin: Cheech - It is a high-flying Grass-type after all.

Mamoswine: Nanoswine
Jynx: J!NX(.COM)
Cloyster: Clayster
Froslass: Frosless
Glaceon: Glasseon
Walrein: Walrain
Abomasnow: Obamasnow

Reasons? Because they are all paradies of the original name and either invert the original name's meaning or relate to epic websites, or them being quite fragile and relate to (un)popular political figures.

I lol'd at Obamasnow.

Haters gonna hate
My platinum Team nicknames:

Prinplup: Pebbles
Drifblim: Balloo
Jolteon: Zappy
Houndoom: Woofers
Ambipom: Banana
Mamoswine: Missy

They are just random and came to me while nicknaming them, I think they are cute! Except for maybe Missy, who is the only femaile pokemon on my team. They aen't my favorites though, that honor goes to my old Yellow file which my idiot brother deleted to make his own after I told him he couldn't:

Pikachu: Sparky
Arcanine: Archie
Marowak: Bones

I think now that I have my Yellow back I'm going to try and recreate that team, though I got Cubone and Growlithe in the beginning from my brother doing the Mew glitch so it will take longer this time around... but I <3 Archie the Arcanine

Species: Leafeon.
Nickname: Syn.
Reason: He's a plant pokemon. So his name, is for Photosynthesis.
