Your Favorite Pokemon Nicknames?

[hazabaza1]

A while back I found my Pearl game. I decided to load it up and check out my box.
Turns out I had a Starly going by the name of SHITTYCOCK (yes all caps) just sitting there.
That was fun.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The only time I've ever nicknamed my Pokemon was on my second playthroughs of Heartgold and Leaf Green.

Leaf Green team:
1. Charizard: Igneel (After the dragon of Fire from Fairy Tail)
2. Aerodactyl: Aeroleous (After the greek god of wind)
3. Starmie: Lucian (The name lucian can be translated to illusive or illusion and since Starmie is part Psychic it works.)
4.Sandslash: Roll (After Hibari's Hedgehog from Hitman Reborn.)
5.Golem: Daigo (I got lazy with this one, Daigo is the Ruby champion Steven's Japanese name, which pretty much means stone.)
6.Raichu: Raiden: (After Mortal Kombat's Raiden)

Heartgold team: (These were all named after characters from Phi Brain, Puzzle of God.)
1. Meganium: Da-Vinci
2. Forretress: Edison
3. Crobat: Gaileio
4. Magmortar: Einstein
5. Dusknoir: Newton
6. Politoed: Nonoha

I named my pokemon after certain characters in other places, due to a "similar" personality I imagined each one having.

Empoleon - Grif
Swampert - Bill
Tyranitar - Tali
Xatu - Thane
Dusknoir - Niko
Honchkrow - Archer

Scolipede - Alcatraz
Starmie - Mr. Gutsy
Mienshao - Elena
Haxorus - Garrus
Starraptor - Nick
Weavile - Macmillan

Sceptile - Slash
Hydreigon - Legion
Chatot - Dovahkiin
Butterfree - Zoey
Gardevoir - Grace
Typhlosion - Dexter

Extras who "are on the team":

Garchomp - Allison
Rhyperior - Marty
Noctowl - Sauron
Volcarona - Samus
Braviary - Ferris
Lucario - Chase

5$ goes to the individual who can label at least 20 of where each of these names came from.

 

[DragonStorm247]

I once nicknamed my Gyarados "Pikachu".

 

[ImperialSunlight]

I generally name my pokemon after mythological... things.

For instance, my competitive team:

Ninetails - Helios
Dragonite - Aethon
Espeon - Abraxas
Infernape - Pyrois
Sawsbuck - Phlegon
Vaporeon - Eous

Named after the Greek god Helios and his horses. I thought it was fitting for a sun team.

I also named my Black/White 2 team HOLLY WOOD, DOMINO, EVAGRIA, SENTRY, VIC and SIRIUS after characters in Coheed and Cambria's "The Afterman".

 

[Shaved Apple]

I saw somebody had a Jynx named Britney Spears. And a Fortress named WTFAMI.

 

[an annoyed writer]

Back when I still played I named my trainer "Fuck me". That led to some awesome conversations. Incidentally I do the same in every Legend of Zelda.

On a related note I watched some GameGrumps recently and they named one of their pokemon "George Lopez".

Extras who "are on the team":

5$ goes to the individual who can label at least 20 of where each of these names came from.

Okay I took a potshot at this list.

Thats 17 points.

Editted to see the results.

I am disappointed by the lack of Smugleaf. Best nickname ever. I don't remember who it is but the guy with the smugleaf portal gun has the coolest profile picture ever.

Ummm, sometimes pet names for the dogs and cats like Wolfie. The rest I think are typically portmanteaus or puns I can't remember and/or are bad.

 

[Ljs1121]

I typically don't do nicknames, but in my last SoulSilver run, I named my Espeon Espa Roba. I thought it was quite clever.

 

[Jfswift]

I named one of my pignites, "bacon"

 

[Eccentric Lich]

I named my Lucario "Megaman" because he's a blue, he's fighting/steel type, and he shoots blasts of energy from his hand.

 

[EHKOS]

Usually I'll name a dark or ghost type Anubis. My fire type's name is always Burnace.

A "bad" pun? No such thing, sir! No need to be ashamed of your puns, share them with us.

(In case you couldn't tell, I rather like pun nicknames).

I'll have to remember that one. It fits so well, now that you explain it. Dang, now I want to nickname a Bisharp as Protoman

 

[Shockolate]

ThunderSpider.

I used it for my Joltik/Galvantula, and it just rolls off the tongue.

I like it so much I use it as my ID for League of Legends and Origin, because my usual choices, "Shock" and "Shockolate", were taken.

 

[Mr Binary]

I named my Tepig 'Ganonpork'. I found it rather funny or witty, especially with his final evolution. I have others but, probably not good enough to post though.

Spoiler: Ganonpork

Actually, I have another which is pretty awesome. Zebro, the Zebstrika.

Spoiler: Zebro

 

[C2Ultima]

I wanted to be a priest, so I named my Arceus "God" and my Manaphy "Holy Water".

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

I wanted to be a priest, so I named my Arceus "God" and my Manaphy "Holy Water".

Let's take it one step further; Shedinja can be Jesus! He's the resurrected shell of Shedinja, and the halo certainly fits.
