When i traded Jasmine for her Steelix in soulsilver (i happen to love Steelix, probably one of my favorites) and realized it was a male, i had a female steelix in my party already since the begining and nicknamed her Ruby. So Jasmine's was Rusty and mine was Ruby and they had cute little onix babies at the daycare :3

My current favorite is a Probopass for a steel monotype team I'm doing named Mrs Nesbit ("Don't you get it?! You see the hat?").

^That reminds me, I have a Probopass named Jordon. Sort of an inside joke. I have a friend named Jordon who, for the longest while, had a red nose, cause of allergies or something. He was adorable because of it, unlike Probopass, but I still think it's fitting.

Awsome names :)

I have only named a very very few pokemon names in my time of playing these games. But these two of my current team will always be remembered:

Gengar M - Viking - I just love the shape of that word... the v, then the i and k. and because I'm a national romantic of course :D
Magneton - Storm - Well... imagine a storm.... a thunderstorm....

But I haven't come up with good names for my:
Kingdra M
Scizor F
Typhlosion
and Yanmega

:(
And we're soon going to beat the E4. They've got to have names by then!
 

Lucario770

What's in the box?
Spook the Gengar. Don't know why I like it, it just fits.

My friend also traded me the coolest named Pokemon ever. Tootles the Blaistoise.

Aww. I already named them. I liked the sound of Sadistic Bug though... If I should train a pinsir, that'd be the name!
