Galladiator 1 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Noticed that pretty much everyone here nicknames their pokemon, I never did before reborn but I've had some fun coming up with themSo, what's your favorite nickname you've thought up?mine: Mozilla (Delphox) cuz its a firefox, applies to ninetales too. Nevermore (Honchkrow) "the raven" reference. Sharknado (Sharpedo) not all that creative but I still like it. Thanatos (spiritomb) The greek god of death, cool for any ghost type Kevin (Durant) just had to do it. Siddhartha (Medicham) Link to post Share on other sites
Hymdall 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think my favorite is a series of horrid horrid puns for the Elemental Monkeys. Searing Pain for Simisear, Pour Soul for Panpour, and Sage Wisdom for Pansage. Link to post Share on other sites
Arisato 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have the nicknames for my Reborn 'mons in my signature, but I'll list them here anyways :^) Most of them are jokes bc I don't take nicknaming seriously at all. GottaGoFast (Blaziken) - Speed Boost, 'nuff said. Kafka (Meowstic) - named after that German guy who wrote nightmare fuel novels. No Hands (Noivern) - self explanatory. Lord Helix (Omastar) - I'm sure everyone and their mothers gets the reference. Happiness (Raichu) - a mockery bc leveling up the happiness stat so Pichu could evolve into Pikachu was painful and I barely had enough $ for a massage. Thugnificent (Scrafty) - named after The Boondocks character, for obvious (and stereotypical) reasons. Also in White 2 I have a Skarmory named MetaRidley and a Lapras named 5/100 (5%) bc I spent 3 hours under the village bridge trying to find and catch one. Link to post Share on other sites

Aroos 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I called my empoleon Neptune, just because it has that fancy trident head and its a water type and all... Link to post Share on other sites
Vandaeron 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Let's see. Most of my older pokemon were based on bands, but the only particularly creative one I can recall is a Kangaskhan named Princess, so named because her father was a Nidoking. I also once had a Skarmory named Shin Kazama, a pilot from UN Squadron/Area 88. As for the bandy ones, I had Manowar the Nidoking (who was once my namesake here) and Gamma Ray the Yanmega (before it was cool.) Pretty sure there were other band-based names, but I can't remember. Then some of the older and more droll ones were BeoWolf the Arcanine, and Heavy Metal the Aggron. Link to post Share on other sites

Sin! 17 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I named my Diggersby, DiggersbyTho. thank y'all for your time. Link to post Share on other sites
Ironbound 110 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I had a Starmie called Pulsar (because a pulsar is a star that spins and emits beams of energy, like Starmie) I also had a Ferrothorn called Tribulus, because that's not only the name of a thorny desert plant, but is also the Latin term for the caltrop, which is the pointy entry hazard in the move 'Spikes' which Ferrothorn has. A bit nerdy, I guess, but they kinda make sense, right...? Link to post Share on other sites
TimTim 0 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I am not creative with nicknames but i will nickname them regardless for the bonds between trainer and pokemon. I nickname my pokemon based on anime, manga and tv series characters and tropes, like my Noivern having Dothraki as its nickname(Game of Thrones) etc. Link to post Share on other sites
