Pokemon Nicknames

Status
Not open for further replies.
I didn't see this in the FR/LG forums so.

What did you nickname your Pokemon

Feel free to ask for help nicknaming your pokemon too.

For example

I named my bulbasaur on Fire red Paskeeto because I think thats a name that fits him well,
I called my squitle on Leaf green Iceman (for obvious reasons)
And my charmander on Fire red PokeZeazn ( because i could't think of a name)

I think a thread like this might already exist. But whatever...

(These are all the pokemon I've caught, not just the ones I'm using)

Zapdos: Toast, because at the time I caught it, I was making toast. >.>
Kabutops: Rolly, because Kabuto always reminded me of a Rolly-Polly.
Blastoise: Blurper, because my dad told me to. >.>
Persian: Cakes, because at the time I caught it, I don't know why, but I remembered the episode of the Cosby Show when Bill was talking about a pet name Claire gave him in Highschool or whatever, and he said it was "Cakes".
Jolteon: Jellybean, because at the time I was watching Malcolm in the Middle and it was the episode where that fat guy let Dewey watch over his cat, Jellybean.
Snorlax: Bilbo, because Snorlax always reminded me of Bilbo.
Ponyta: Fred, because I know a lady who has a horse named Fred and it's the sweetest thing ever.
Pidgey: Slave, because it was my Fly slave until I got a Farfetch'd, with the pre-nickname of "CH'DING"
Parasect: Nickey, because when I caught it I was thinking about my friend, Nick, who I haven't talked to in a while...
Primeape: Cocoa, because it was a girl, and... well, it should be obvious.
Hitmonchan: Jackie. Jackie Chan.
Lapras: Skank. Loooong story, and probably not appropriate for these boards....

And that's it.

Okashira-- Eh. They're okay. I personally don't prefer the "serious" nicknames (As you might have been able to tell by my nickname list), since it's a pokemon game, but overall they'd be decent names if you were making it serious.

Except I don't like Daemon for Houndoom. I don't know why. :/
 

Freeze Knight

super cuno
Fearow--> Skyterror
Starmie--> Starfire

These are the only nicknames I gave to my Pokemon...
I'll post more when I nickname more of them...
 
Mewtwo - Psy-Clone: Should be obvious. It's a psychic clone :eek: Also a clever spin-off of the word cyclone. And I like clever nicknames :p

Moltres - Io: The volcanic moon of Jupiter, and the only volcanic moon currently known. Signifies uniqueness and strength, which is what I'm aiming for.

Lickitung - Carnation: It's a female, and thus, I decided to name it something involving the word pink. Carnation works well for that.

Unown C - Curiosity: I tend to name my Unowns after a quality in a person, such as my Unown S, Secrecy. Curiosity, though, is fully EV Trained, and it has HP Fighting with a +Attack Nature. I thought it deserved a special name.

Glalie - Voor-mhass: The name's something of a spin-off of the name Voor-hees, god of something-or-other(Sike Sanr suggested that name for Glalie). But I actually didn't name it with Voor-hees in mind. It actually came out unintentionally 0_0 It just occurred to me one day, and I figured that since I had a Modest Snorunt I could train, why not? So I did. Voor-mhass will have a counterpart, an Adamant physical Female Glalie named Viir-maess. And then the two shall breed to create a mixed Sweeper ;) Its name hasn't been determined yet, but I think Cryo would be a cool name(suffix meaning Ice).

Hitmonchan - Jackjumper: This is one of my more clever nicknames, IMO. Since Hitmonchan's English name is based off of Jackie Chan, I wanted something involving Jackie or Chan in its name. Chan really didn't work at all, so I focused on Jackie. When the shortened version, Jack, came into my mind, I somehow linked that with the deadly ant of Australia, the jackjumper. Jackjumpers are swift, fierce, and they hit hard. Just like my Hitmonchan. So, I named Hitmonchan Jackjumper to symbolize speed and power(jackjumper), and adeptness at physical strength(Jackie Chan).

Minun - Difference: My soon-to-be Modest HP [Ice/Grass] Minun. I'm working on hatching it in Emerald, with limited results thus far. But when I get it right, I'll begin working on Sum, who, as you might guess, will be a Plusle. Sum will be Timid, and his Hidden Power will be the opposite of Difference's. In battle, their Abilities will power each other up, and they'll be my main Double Battling force.

Some future nicknames I have in mind for future Pokémon are Atlantic the Kyogre, Skulkraken the Gyarados, and Pyre the Charizard. Atlantic because it's a great song by Thrice and fits Kyogre's vast image, Skulkraken because that was originally going to be Gyarados's English name, and Pyre because it's a non-cliché name involving fire(I might add on some word that involves air, though, to note on Charizard's other Type).

I only give nicknames to my most important Pokémon. The ones above are Pokémon I worked on getting for days and days, and I want them all to have good names. Psy-Clone's significance is a Timid Nature, correct EVs, and a BoltBeam/Recover/Calm Mind moveset. Io's significance is that it is Modest, has HP Ice, and has Substitute. I haven't trained it yet, but I plan to soon. Carnation is Adamant, has proper EVs, and its MS is Shadow Ball/Swords Dance/Return/Brick Break. Curiosity has a Choice Band, is Naughty, has HP Fighting, and, again, proper EVs. Glalie is Modest, and its MS is Water Pulse(to be replaced with HP Special)/Ice Beam/Crunch/Substitute. Jackjumper is Hasty and has HP Ghost/Sky Uppercut/Earthquake/Rock Slide. Difference and Sum have been explained.

Overly-long post, yeah, but I tend to overdo things like that >=P

Okashira: I like those nicknames, perhaps because I know what they mean xD Daemon is an awesome name for Houndoom, considering it is something of a demon.

To be honest I have never nicknamed a Pokemon... ever.

If I ever caught a Shiny, I would probably rename it.

My favorite nickname I ever gave was to my Mewtwo, I named him MookieRah after Jason, who until Recently was the best Super Smash Brothers Melee mewtwo player in the world. That title now belongs to me ^.^ I couldn't decide on an appropriate name for my Mewtwo after that, in Smash tourneys I call him Loaf after my friend's cat... because well... he looks like a cat. I renamed him Mewtwo instead.

Sandslash - Kaiser
Venusaur - Hyrdoponic
Alakazam - Melinko
Gengar - Phantom
Raticate - CapyBara

All I can think of right now...
