Shiny Hunter
The Miskatonic River is a fictional location in H.P Lovecraft's universe. It runs through the city of Arkham, a fictional location infamous for a history steeped in supernatural and occult phenomena.

Is this the story with those river monsters reclaiming the city by night

Hi, I've strated this gen to put Nicknames to my competitie pokemon. I need help namig 4 of them and please comment your oppionoin about the Named ones. The "inspiritaion" behind every nickname is Popular Culture but I also aacept suggestions about other things, specially the ones that have scientific or mythologic explication. Here they are:
Goodra - Dino (For the pet of the Flinstones)
Politoed M- Poliswag (This idea came when it was still a Poliwag)
Jolteon F- ??
Grenija F- ??
Meowstic M- ?? (I tought of KatyCat as of the fans of a Pop Singer but it didn't convince me since he is male and the name sound like a female one)
Mawiles -

Jolteon could be named after some female rock band leader... like Joan Jett? =]
Greninja could be Gabi, after that Rio 2 character. <.<
Meowstic should be Mr. Pawns, or Mr. Tingles. Any Mr. something fits them so well! xD
I have planned many names for Mawiles, but they are a bit too obscure for your intents, so I'll keep them to myself. >.>

@The Mustache

Maybe Snaustache? (Snauzer + Mustache) Or Russel? (Sorry, not original as taken from Jack Russle Terrier) Or maybe even Taché? As in, the other half of "mustache" changed into a nice sounding name.

As for nicknames, has anyone ever put in a nickname and then realize they misspelled it? Like me with ElecticSea the Eelektross. I meant to spell ElectricSea but forgot the r. But I learned that it wouldn't have fit if the r was in there. XD

I liked Shazan I saw somewhere.

Scott?

Can anyone think of a good nickname for a Shiny Flygon? I am hunting for one at the moment.
Bono Vox (if male)? Because of the orange sunglasses. =P

My favorite name I've given any of my Pokémon is calling my Luxray "Raiden".

Normally I give mine a dog name like Fido or Rocket.


Any ideas for a nickname for a male shiny Milotic (that can attract every female because of it's ability), right now it's name is Toshiro but I need a better one and for a shiny male Breloom?

So many hot guys ideas in mind... If you don't want (the unoriginal) Wallace for that Milotic, maybe Don Juan (lol another Milotic user!).
Breloom is Maroon. Maroon 5 if you likes the band. x)

Hey I don't mind hot guys names! XD I thought more about a male manga character name (thus the name Toshiro and before it was Hyorinmaru) but Wallace can be interesting and Maroon too! At the beginning I wanted it to be named Amanita because it's my favorite mushroom but it sound too feminine to my taste.

Name the Milotic "Barney" or "Quagmire".
