Pokemon: Nicknames

[yoshi12]

So do you nickname your Pokemon? I nickname them if I think of something clever. I usually name them based on a random anime Character.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

No, almost never. I just like to stay with the original names. But I could if yoshi15 has some suggestions.

I think I used to a bit when I first played Pokemon, but stopped shortly after that.

Well, for flareon, I named it Amatarasu which is Japanese for the goddess of the sun. I got the name from a Naruto move.

For Espeon, I named it Tsukuyomi which is Japanese for the god of the moon. I also got this name from Naruto.

I name some pokemon after the 7 sins/Homunculus from Fullmetal Alchemist based on their characteristics.
*Pride
*Greed
*Sloth
*Wrath
*Envy
*Lust
*Gluttony

Those are some of my nicknames.

For the first runs (when I don't have the pokemon names memorized) I will leave them the same, but after I know the names I nickname every one that I catch just for some lulz. Ghastly = Purp Urk is some guaranteed laughs.... unless you don't get it, which I don't blame you.

 

[N.P.C.C.]

No, instinctively i just don't do it. I mean, i'd have to think up one awesome name before i did but that never happened before.

My nicknames just vary on what I think of the Pokemon, if a Pokemon reminds me of something else, I'll just call it that. Sometimes it's Bust a Groove names, etc.

I always name Primape Zaboomafoo

 

[Snowy620]

I nickname them if I plan on having them in my final team.

 

[caleb333]

When I played Firered, I named all my pokemon after their ability. eg. Charizard=Blaze, Zapdos=Pressure

 

[Snowy620]

That's stupid.

Occasionally. Mainly I come up with a name that corresponds to what I did recently. Say I'd written a story and the main character was called Sytheco, and I caught a Scyther, I'd name it Sytheco.

And my B/W team will probably be based on Okami gods i.e. Smugleaf=Sakigami, Tepig=Moegami, Oshawott=Nuregami, Blitzle=Gekigami, Vanillish=Itegami, etc.

 

[Ecks Dee]

I sometimes used to name my Pokemon human names cos I felt like it.

 

[Chubbo1793]

Nah, I've never nicknamed them. To me, it's a waste of time.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

I rarely do, but I already did and I'm doing it with Axew from Black & White!!!

 

[ILoveWaffles]

I never do, but I did do it before for teh lulz, I remember giving Honchkrow the nickname "Godfather" and other names along those lines.

 

[waluigi48]

I keep the original names because I'm not creative.

 

[Espeonvision]

Nope, never, prefer having their actual names.

 

[H-J Kaabii]

Pretty much never.

BTW shouldn't this be in the appropriate board now?

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Pretty much never.

BTW shouldn't this be in the appropriate board now?

I agree. It's been in the Nintendo Board for a while now. Needs to be moved.

In the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, I name my Pokemon after charcters from Brawl.
