Hi all
Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts. -

That actually makes a lot of sense.
I used to do that myself back in the Gen 4 days.

I already have three teams planned out, one for each starter. My nephew also visited me earlier today and wanted us to make more teams so I made 4 more with him and I've named them all. lol
Edit: Just realized I should probably say I know that is a lot, but I'm not sure how soon I'll actually play though all of these. The first one I run will be the Grookey team and after I beat the game with it I'll run the Sobble, then Scorbunny teams. Just wanted to share the names I had thought of.

First post, because I love nicknaming everything, and the leaks have me amped.
Cinderace - Jumpin' Jack (Flash it's a gas!) for a male, or Lola (Bunny) for a female
Corviknight - Quoth for a male (Discworld reference RIP Sir Terry Pratchett), Lenore for a female (lots of love for the Raven), or Nevermore as a general for either gender
Grimmsnarl - Lucifer or Oberon for a male, and Titania or Lilith for a female, Sidhe, Aku (from Samurai Jack) is also an option
Toxicity - Arsenic (since lead and arsenic compounds are used in car batteries)
Hatterene - Queenie or Majesty
Dragapult - either Nighthawk (after the F-117 stealth bomber), or Blackbird (after the SR-71)
Alternatives:
G. Rapidash - Mystic, or Amalthea (Last Unicorn)
Appletun - A. Gothic, Rockwell (Saturday Evening Post artist), or Fresh Baked
Barraskewda - Tomahawk (missile), or Torpedo

The people here who intend upon naming their Scorbunny after Gouenji Shuuya/Axel Blaze are valid, and I love you. I myself considered naming mine Axel for a time. Cinderace is the embodiment of the archetypal Fire Element Ace Striker in Inazuma Eleven.
However, I will always consider Blaziken Gouenji's one and only true Pokesona. Blaziken invented the Blaze Kick, was forged by it, the one true kicking fire starter, Cinderace is a mere imitator, thusly I will be naming my Cinderace after Kozoumaru Sasuke/Basile Hardy aka Gouenji 2 from Inazuma Eleven Ares.
(That and I don't think Cinderace's personality and demeanor match Gouenji that much, not that they match Kozoumaru a lot either.)
Since the game takes place in Poke-Britain I'll be using the characters' English dub names whenever I name my Pokemon after Inazuma characters, I'm not gonna stick to that as a theme for all my Pokemon though. So Scorbunny will be Basile if male or Bombasta (Scout character from Inazuma Eleven 3) if female. Technically Raimon Natsumi/Nelly Raimon is a Fire Forward in games where she's recruitable but I don't really feel like she has any major Scorbunny energy.
I also intend upon naming my Corviknight "Victor" after Tsurugi Kyousuke/Victor Blade if it's male, no real plan for a female one, whatever I feel like in the moment I guess.

A pouch? Because it's a marsupial?

I tend to name my Pokémon based around some kind of theme whenever I play.
For example, my current team for Ultra Moon are named after Naruro characters and when I did a Heart Gold Nuzlocke I was playing as Red returning from a long journey and taking the place of the Johto protagonist (long story on how I rationalized that in the story) and I named all of his Pokémon after gods.

Cramorant is too cute for words!
I might just give all my Pokémon names in the language I’m learning (Bahasa Indonesia). I like to give Pokémon names in other languages.

Usually I come up with a theme to name all my Pokémon. Fir example, I did characters from sitcoms I watched at the time fir White 2. I’m thinking maybe a Pixar characters but I’m not totally sold on the idea.

Isn't Morpeko based on a guinea pig or a hamster? Both of those are rodents, not marsupials.

I recently got an interesting idea to possibly nickname my 'mons after cities, something I don't think I've ever done before. Choosing cities that match might be a bit of a challenge, though.
