Lampent = Deep Purple (because of the purple fire)
This strikes me as kind of funny since Deep Purple is also the name of a band.
Corphish/Crawdaunt-F.L.U.D.D.(She's a girl,and F.L.U.D.D. sounds like a girl to me)
Barboach-Whiskas(She has whiskers,and I lack creativity)
LOL on F.L.U.D.D. Funny enough, I have a Barboach named Whiskas too.
Vensaur: Venus de Vinestho
Garchomp: Michelle Bachmann
Smeargle: Francis Bacon
Talonflame: Tuck Frickroom
Klefki: Keykey's Delivery
How do these names even fit? As I recall, nicknames can only be 12 characters long... maybe you abbreviate them or something?
What's a good nickname for a (male) Noivern?
I named mine Batman... you know, since he evolves from a bat and looks all cool and black. I think it's a pretty good name. Na na na na na na na na... Noivern! XD You could also try Nightfury (it's a black dragon after all) - though I've seen other dragons with that name too (I usually give it to Hydreigon).
So I just caught/bred a whole bunch of Pokemon for Pokedex completion, and continued my habit of giving everyone nicknames. Here are some of the ones I came up with (red = female, blue = male, black = genderless):
Dugtrio: Holy Moley
Electrode: Explodium
Lickitung: Raspberry (if you know what "blowing a raspberry" is, you'll understand why)
Zoroark: Furina (a Roman goddess associated with thievery and crime in general)
Fearow: Fake Ho-oh
Wobbuffet: Punching Bag
Wynaut: RiteBackAtYa (when it evolves it specializes in retaliation)
Mareep: Lumina
Doduo: Roadrunner
Wingull: Smee (Captain Hook's first mate)
Ariados: Shelob (the giant spider in Lord of the Rings)
Tentacool: Cruella
Magnemite: Faraday
Lombre: Macarena
Monferno: Hanuman (from the tale of the Monkey King)
Also, in my last post I described my Dangan Ronpa-themed team... Since then, I obtained three more Pokemon who fit the theme:
Monokuma the Spinda (after the demented villanous teddy bear, since Spinda acts all crazy - and the character is black and white, like a panda)
Hifumi the Munchlax (the character is an obese otaku and has some catlike features on his face)
Togami the Ditto (the character has an impostor in the second game)
