The Nicknaming Thread

[Commander Blitzkrieg]

Empoleon: Stalin (Stalin means "Man of steel" in Russian. I might just be steel though, idk)
Torterra: Anguirus (Toho monster that resembles a Torterra)
Infernape: Flare or Firestorm (That's what I name all my Fire starters)

 

[Tri hawk]

I rarely nickname, but my Ditto is named Dugley.
The others are stupid stuff like Pikachu I called "uggly butt" (Excuse spelling, this was based on the Pikachu i had in Pokemon Yellow)

 

[Lucario Hero]

Recently, I have only nicknamed one Pokemon; I nicknamed my Zigzagoon Ziggy. Very original.

 

[Lickilicky]

lol; i didn't gave a nickname to pokemon in any game except for 3 pokemon in emerald
marshtomp: swampy
loudred: ASD
a shell witch i evolved into gorebys i don't remember how it's called: BIGSHELL
marshtomp and loudred were part of my E4 party

in the mistery dungeon, i named me(squrtle) napoleon and my cikorita partner hitler XD

 

[KingRaichu]

(commander BlitzKreig) Stalin isn;t even a real Russian name...it don';t mean nothing (I'm Russian) he was just a communist dictator (but it makes sense though lol).

i like giving human names to my Pokemon...like....i don;t know. i usually give them names from japanese anime.
*go Itachi!*

I named my machoke Chuck, as in Chuck Norris.

His name is way over used, but hey.

[xXBloodstainedLieXx]

I called my Lucario "Shadow" once I evolved my Riolu.

I usually gives nicknames to my main pokes I use though most ends up with random/weird/silly names, sometimes more realistic names. That or just what I see them as, like my Kangaskhan, they're big mommies with baby in the pouch...so I named her Big Momma. :/
The thing is I never see the pokémons as creatures someone trained but a rpg-styled group of six pokémons that happens to wander the world for no reason. It's weird like that.

 

[CataclysmX7]

I give my guys nicknames sometimes. I have a Pidgeot named Skydra and I named my ditto after my real name, because then it says I transform into stuff and attack. Its corny but fun. That's my thinking.

 

[Cool Frood]

Nicknames are awsome! I love to trade random-named ones

 

[Water_Duke]

I like Nicknames. I don't nickname all of my pokemon, but if I feel like it, I will nickname one.

Vileplume-Rafflessia(Vileplume's name in Protuguese[I'm Portuguese that's why], French, etc..)

Buneary-Mimzy

Ninetails-Cynthia

Pikachu-Kixapuch (It sounds cool, it's like the Kingdom Hearts thing because Organization XIII's names are anagrams of their human counterpart with an 'X' added somewhere)

I have a shiny Cyndaquil, and I was going to name it Basil, just because I thought it fit well, but then I remembered that Basil is green....so I was considering Mace, but i don't know anymore.

Any suggestions?

 

[Cool Frood]

I like the Japanese name, Hinoarashi. This means "fire storm."

I also like Basil, it sounds cute

 

[honey_clover112]

I nicknamed my Crobat, Frightful. And my Umbreon, Tsuki.

;006;

 

[xXBloodstainedLieXx]

I usually name my Typhlosion its japanese name before I always migrate it to my Diamond.

"Bakuphoon"

 

[Water_Duke]

I like the Japanese name, Hinoarashi. This means "fire storm."

I was going to use its' Japanese name, but I always nickname my pokemon Japanese words or names, so I was thinking Fruit, Flowers, or Spices and Seasonings. Plus, Dried Basil Leaves are of a reddish tint right?

 

[Fly8888]

My Staraptor is named Riley, I don't know why, it just came to me.
My Blaziken was named Chicken,
and my Swampert was named Muddy.

 

[LolEcksDee]

My Blissey is called Ignorance. Lol, like they say, "ignorance is bliss".

 

[Kass]

>: D Well, I just watched the first three episodes of Star Wars last weekend and while I was catching Heatran, I was joking with my friend that I should cll it Anikin. But I didn't because I really think that would've been in bad taste and I'll never use the pokemon anyway.

 

[Duraza]

haha, I was obsessed with 300 for a while, and named my new-caught Machop Leonidas
