Wolfox 2093 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Nicknaming Pokémon is probably one of the oldest features of the franchise, and if you ask me one of the best. Now, Nicknaming Pokémon is not always easy. Some Pokémon are just harder to nickname for some people than others. So now I ask, what are your Sigature Pokémon nicknames? Disclaimer: this is not nicknames for your Signature Pokémon, but nicknames you always.usually use. Here are a few of mine: Shiny Gardevoir = Lucina (My favorite FE Princes, if not gaming princes. she also has Blue hair. Roserade = Summer (Reference to Summer Rose, mother of Ruby Rose. Who is the Main Protagonist of RWBY) Togekiss = Flügel der Freiheit/Flügel for short (it means Wings of Freedom) Infernape = Zuko (should make sense) Emboar = Iroh (Same reason as Nape. And Iroh is chubby like Emboar) Serperior = Sniper (My first starters nickname. I just can't do anything else for it) Klefki = Key Resonator (reference to Jack Atlas and his Resonator monsters) Azumarill = Truck (It hits like a truck. nothing more to be said) Mega Charizard X = Firewall (reference to Firewall Dragon) Mega Charizard Y = Topologic (reference to Topologic Bomber Dragon) Yanmega = Heather (SHELLY!) Scolipede = Diesel (idk. I'm bad at nicknames) Samurott = Jack (Captain Jack Sparow. Samurai Jack. It writes itself) Venusaur = Fizzlebeef (the true savior of Mankind) Mimikyu = Kevin (the singer of Ghost town is called Kevin Ghost. Mimikyu is a ghost) Primarina = Azura/Shigure based on gender (FE Fates nicknames) Lycanroc Dusk = Sif (The Great GreyWolf from Dark Souls) And those are all the ones I could think of at the top of my head.

MadHappy 30 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well, the list would go like this: Infernape - Jericho, or Y2J ( go figure ) Shiny Haxorus - Taylor Aegislash - Krivbeknih ( I know it "Kremvh" would've been more fitting, as Kremvh is the melee weapon, and Krivbeknih is the book, but it sounds better ) Lycanroc Midnight - Shepherd ( from MW2, a loose end ) Luxray - Logan ( mostly due to the hair, reminds me of Wolverine ) Dragalge - Hemlock ( the poison ) Samurott - Zeke ( from InFamous ) Garchomp - Cole ( from InFamous, also. I know he used electricity, but heck ) Archeops - Archer ( I was watching "Archer" when I was thinking for a name ) Metagross - Excelsus ( from MGR Revengeance, due to its 4 legs ) Braviary - Patriot Pidgeot - Hendricks Mandibuzz - Sephora ( From the "Alien" movie ) Lucario - Mayday ( Female ) or Richter ( Male ) Steelic - Jasmine ( Female ) or Colossus ( Male ) Swampert - Everglades And there are more, but I think these are enough.

kjsylacs 0 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Blaziken - Soryu - variant of Shoryuken, Ryu and Ken's signature uppercut Swalot - Poisma - the poison skill from Persona Alakazam - Cognitus - from the word "cognition" Steelix - Metal Gear - from Twitch Plays Pokemon Nidoking - Fonzie - also from Twitch Plays Pokemon Gardevoir - Aria - I guess that's the first thing that came to mind when I thought of her nickname, since she's a fairy and all Charizard - Shinryu - the dragon from the FInal Fantasy series Metagross - Maverick - from the Mega Man series Blastoise - Kamui - partly inspired by Naruto, partly because it's close to "kame", japanese word for turtle Link to post Share on other sites
seki108 1226 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I usually forget to nickname things or can't decide on one. These are the only two I've used more than once. Haunter/Gengar- Spooks- it's so stupidly generic that I love it. (mentioned this next one quite a few times, but one more time shouldn't hurt) Gardevoir- Granzon- named after the black-hole creating mech from the Super Robot Wars: Original Generation(s) series, matching up with Gardevoir's Pokedex lore Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Finn 256 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Metagross - Centurion (shiny and not shiny) inspired from the Dwarven Centurion in the Skyrim. Cobalt (not shiny) metal. Promethium (shiny and not shiny) metal. Gardevoir - Samantha (shiny and not shiny, female) because this is a common name for psychic people and I love this name (don't ask me why). Ambipom - Apocalypse (shiny and not shiny, male or female) because it's deadly as hell (except for ghosts). Nidoking - Nidoboss (shiny and not shiny) because it's a boss in the battle. Omastar - Lord Helix (not shiny, male) you know why. Salamence - Zinnia (shiny and not shiny, female) because Wynaut? Torracat - Whitney (not shiny, female) because she was my european shorthair cat and she is now in my heart. Luna (shiny, female) because somehow she is a mostly siamese with some european shorthair characteristics and she is my cat. Koffing - Coffee (doesn't matter) read Arbok. Arbok - Starbucks (doesn't matter) read Koffing Muk - Poop (doesn't matter) because it sucks, it's design is bland, it causes mutation and it's my least favorite Pokemon excluding Marshadow (also, read Vaporeon). Vaporeon - Radiation (doesn't matter) because it's a Eevee that was mutated from the Muk when it went inside a polluted water with one of them inside and turned into a catfish (also, read Muk). Marshadow - Dictator, (doesn't matter) because it's too OP and unfair that I hate it to hell, it's also the Pokemon I hate the most. Please, ban it from Uber, it's strong as hell. Battling against one of these is the same as getting 1000 years of hell in a very unfair way. Victini - Goltini (not shiny) because I've mentioned some times about him, it was part of a test in Pokefusion. Stunky and Skuntank - B-Face (doesn't matter) because it's self explanatory, I don't need to explain this (name is reduced). Quagsire - Bertha (shiny and not shiny, female) because of Bertha from the Sinnoh Elite Four. Scrafty and Toxicroak - Hooligan (shiny and not shiny, male) because they look like hooligans. Also, one of their types is Fighting-type, and since hooligans are strong, it makes sense. Magmar - Heisenberg (not shiny, male) because his flame have the same smell as methamphetamine, and since Heisenberg is a big producer of methamphetamine, this makes his name like that. There are many more names despite these ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Aessence 15 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Nidoking: The B0ss Blastoise (has to be female): Big Mama Zangoose: Killercat (<3) Primarina: Brioncé (#teampopplio) Solgaleo/Lunala: Nebby (that's so cliché, but I can't not do it xD) Arcanine: doesn't really have a fixed nickname, but whatever the name will be, it'll HAVE to have "Doge" in it. aaaand that pretty much covers it. Don't remember any more right now. Link to post Share on other sites
