Done with worldly lies
I usually nickname my Pokémon, not all of them but if a good name pops into my head after I've caught one or if I already had one in mind then I will give it a nickname.
However, this gen I seem to be lacking inspiration for good nicknames and so most of the Pokémon I have don't have a nickname. I'm also trying not to re-use nicknames that I've used in past games which is also making it harder for me to come up with good new ones.
Most of the nicknames I use are usually just a play on the Pokémon's actual name/ appearance/ character and I don't change it even when it evolves and no longer makes much sense.
Anyway a few selected ones I have come up with in my Moon game:
Comfey- Chain (chain of flowers)
Happiny female- Joy (a happy emotion and also the Nurse connection)
Drifloon- Airhead
Zubat- Newyearbat (I caught it on New Years Day)
Igglybuff- Pop (yeah, sounds a bit cruel but...)
Roggenrola- Speaker (cos it looks like one)
Machop- Smaktup (as in smacked about!)
Cubone female- Skull Grunt female symbol (why not?)
Rockruff- Roksta (as in rockstar)
Magnemite- Getschooled (caught at the school. Hoping it will hand out lessons to its opponents)
Gumshoos (which I let evolve by mistake, didn't want it to evolve ever) - Dents (those teeth!)
Magikarp- M. Sea Rage (based on a real MC by that name. Will obviously sound better once it evolves. I've come up with good nicknames for Gyarados over the years: Fierce (another DnB connection), Fishous (viscous)).
