The official Name Hater

[Ironbound]

This is amusing. What is not is the inane and absolutely irrational name for a fire-dog.

Go on, tell me why you think a Ferrothorn named Tribulus doesn't make sense. For those unaware, 'tribulus' is Latin for a caltrop (or spike, the sharp things that are used in the move 'spikes') and is also the scientific name of a genus of thorny desert plants. What better a name for a thorny plant-monster that is clad in, and uses, Spikes?

[IntSys]

Simple, IT'S CLAD IN METAL.


A Tentacruel named Agate.

[Ironbound]

...your point?

Anyway, that's less creative, and less apt, than calling a Sceptile 'Jade' or calling an Onix 'Onyx', since agates are not necessarily purple or blue, like Tentacruel. Or if you meant to draw a comparison other than that of colour, I still fail to see what a lump of coloured rock has anything to do with a jellyfish.

Since we seem to be on about that sort of thing, I may as well call my Kingdra as 'Queendra' since it doesn't like gender stereotypes.

A Crustle called Mr Krabs and a Volcarona called The Fire Nation. Y'know, "When the Fire Nation attacked."

[SonOfRed]

Im not feelin it Mr krabs.

A Beedrill named Buntd, and if you don't get the reference then an Emboar named Capitalist

[Narckarth]

Beedrill is hardly a cake. Also creativity is so nonexistent that it's made me a bit grumpy.

A Rapidash named Ruin.

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

That nickname ruined my day.

Primeape named Drunk Punk.

[Tempest]

How original... no one else has ever though of that...

Lucario named Sirius

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

Did you Siriusly think that was a good name?

Flareon named Garlic Bread.

[Jacobliterator]

Literally no idea how garlic bread and Flareon are connected.

A Drifblim called Fred Zepplin.

[Lugruf]

I can't hate that. It's just perfect.

A Sunflora called Flowey.

[Drymus]

Keep your Undertale names out of Pokemon.

An Arceus named God.

[Lugruf]

God died. Keep your religion out of pokemon.

A Pachirisu called Patxi

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

I have no idea how to pronounce that.

Mawile named Tsundere.

[Jmanultrax1]

Boku no pico

[Tempest]

A what now?

Salamence named Typhoon.

[Dragon116]

Salamence learns no water attacks, as far as I know. So that's kinda a misnomer.

A Deoxys-Speed named Smooth Criminal

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

Are Pokemon even subject to laws like people are?

Butterfree named I Have Feelings.

[Lugruf]

Butterfrees don't have feelings.

A Hydreigon with lonely nature called The Lonely Dragon

[Dragon116]

I think that nickname is too long. Isn't the max 12 characters?

An Excadrill named Hank.

[Bewilderer]

These are pokemon, not people!!!!!

A Rhydon named RideTheWaves.

[Lugruf]

Not the best name for a pokemon with x4 weakness to surf

A Noivern called Sanic

[Bewilderer]

I'm sure that both Sanic and Noivern are offended by that naming.

A Torterra named World Turtle

[Dragon116]

I think you named it after the inspiration for the design. It's like calling Pikachu "Mouse" and thinking it's creative.

A Lumineon named "Kanye West"

[Bewilderer]

Lumineon can't be Kanye West because it doesn't like fish 'sticks'.

A Skarmory named Razor.
