......Did you name your swampert after Ruby's swampert (from Pokemon Special)?

 

[SapphireL]

I nickname all of my Pokemon... :X I'll just list a few...

Santiago/Torterra: My starter. I dunno why I decided to name him that, but I think that name sounds cool...

Diego/Torterra: This is Santiago's son. Diego is my lv.100 Torterra. I don't really have a reason why I gave him this name either...

Hungry Bob/Swampert: No comment...

Alpha/Uxie: The first pixie I caught.

Beta/Azelf: The second pixie I caught.

Gamma/Mesprit: The third pixie I caught.

Tempest/Lucario: I thought it was a cool name for him...

Carbon/Weavile: It's also kinda random... but she is a Dark Pokemon... and carbon is dark...? lol

Jet/Yanmega: She's fast! lol Like a jet!

Guava/Garchomp: Yay! I like this name for her. :3

Hickory/Staraptor: And I think that suits him well...

Acuzio/Armaldo: It means 'sharp' and Armaldo has sharp claws... lol

Zhi/Infernape: I can't remember exactly what this name means. It's the name for some sort of flower. I dunno. I think it suits her too.

Florence/Feraligatr: Very nice for her imo.

Anvil/Metagross: Seems logical.

Squishles/Wigglytuff: ...I dunno where that came from, to be honest. :X

Yea, it's awsome!!Manga>Anime FTW

Anyway, I caught an adamant Jigglypuff, but I don't know what to nickname it. Purin is to short( so is Zuzu, but I accually like that name), I was thinking Puddin',IIRC, means Purin in Japanise(not to sure, can someone tell me it's translation, if any?)

 

[Tsunami-zen]

Lucario : Anubis
Electivire: Voltage
Gliscor: Lilith
Skarmory: Steelwind

My other two are traded, so ^^;

 

[Firemouse]

I nickname most of mine but my favorite set are

Flareon - Ifrit
Glaceon - Shiva
Jolteon - Ramuh
Vaporeon - Leviathan
Espeon - Carbuncle
Umbreon - Fenrir

I always like nicknaming mine because then they become less pure numbers and more something I can take pride in if I raise them right.

 

[jwla]

I do normally name my team members, but, for some reason I never got around to it. Mine are as follows, and might need the added explanation.

Infernape is Capsam (from the capuchin monkey and flame, the S bridges the two pieces)
Skuntank is Arophit (from aroma and mephitidae, the family skunks come from)
Hippowdon is Barrpota (from barren and hippopotamus)
Abomasnow is Izzree (from blizzard and tree)
Floatzel is Seamus (from sea and mustelidae the family otters come from. I do pronounce it Shay-mus, though)
Drifblim is Zepph (from zeppelin and haunt)

 

[Xain]

I nickname most of mine but my favorite set are

Flareon - Ifrit
Glaceon - Shiva
Jolteon - Ramuh
Vaporeon - Leviathan
Espeon - Carbuncle
Umbreon - Fenrir

Heh, pretty cool...a friend of a friend named all of her eevee squad after Greek gods. Carbuncle is great for espeon.....as for fenrir for umbereon.....coulda gone with Ark (dark summon i believe....fenrir is earth/wind....though he could be dark in FF11...) or better yet Atomos. (atomos is actually very fitting considering what a conventinal Umbreon does)
You know someone has named their salamence Bahamut.

[spawngod316]

I don't nickname very much. I named my Electrivire "Thor" and my Breloom "Candy"

 

[***Latios***]

naming pokemon shows their personality or yours!

but sometimes i think of naming my pokemon after famous people

examples (did this in emerald)(i dont know how to spell some last names)

sceptile: Arnold (swarsinatter)
gardevoir: lindsey (lohan)
mightyena: Eddie (murphy)

 

[LunaDancer]

My nicknames are more stupid then clever...
Weezing-DynamicDuo It made sense to me
Gallade-Bushido That name pwns so much
Aerodactyl-Ptero No need for explanation
Rhyperior-Bowser For some reason she reminds me of him
Slowking-Yadoking Couldn't think of a better name
Snorlax-Choji Name makes enough sense.
