Clever Pokémon Nicknames

Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

CONDOM Great name.

LOL :D I don't know much about product names outside Finland, so I couldn't know that. Actually, I was more concerned about if the name Slitz had a negative connotation. But anyway, we actually have an ice cream product line called Magnum here in Finland :p
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

My Pidgeot is called Carbonara :D

Don't ask why.
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Scizor-Redsteel: for obvious reasons
Steelix-Solid snake: because its a solid snake
Psyduck-66: because it took me 66 friggin trys to get a timid one
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Mine is weird. No flames, please. ;)

Feraligatr - Kenji - Out of tradition
Pidgeot - Shigeru - Out of tradition
Ninetales - Takeshi - After Brock
Togetic - Kasumi - After Misty
Slowking - Kouhei - After Conway
Anpharos - Satoshi - After Ash (Hey, at least he's an electric type)

Come to think of it, I sure as heck got lucky when it came to gender. *Forgot other games*
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Well, since I'm waiting for the merry day I'll get SS, I'm replaying the Gen III remakes.

So:

1. Venusaur (M)- Zaurus, like in "saur" from dinosaur.
2. Raichu (M)- Sparks, no explaining need.
3. Butterfree (F)- Liberty, from "freedom"
4. Ninetales (F)- Vicksy, from vixen.
5.Poliwrath- Rath, from wrath of course.
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Megainium: Chiki
Ho-Oh: BIG BIRD (lol)
Gyrados: GYRO
Snorlax: OM NOM NOM (rotfl)
Mamoswine: Isabelle
Jirachi: Jirachi :)P)

In my current team:
Archaeon the Acanine
Sounded cool.

Dayruiner the Gyarados
Does it need explaining?

Shockrocka the Gardevoir
You know that feeling of awe you get when you experience something amazing? Like a powerful feeling that stuns you for a minute, like when you've listened to a life changing-ly awesome song? Yeah.

Naomi the Milotic
Old Hebrew name meaning Enjoyment. It fit at the time, but in retrospect...

Wednesday the Flygon
Wednesdays remind me of the color green. Green is my favorite color. Flygon is green.

Dubious the Absol
Dubious means of doubt. Like you're not sure, you don't know. I gave it this name because of the mysterious nature Absols have.
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

My current noob Platinum team-

Empoleon- Emperte (Its Japanese name)
Luxray- Zara (A Slavic name meaning beautiful aurora of morning star)
Staraptor- Amy (The first name thought of when I thought of female Staraptor, lol)
Toxicroak- Mosh (My cousin's tag name)
Roserade- Either Shū if the game has the ū, or Shuu if it doesn't, I can't remember... (Drew's Japanese name)
Rapidash- Pistol (From some old Western)
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

I named my magikarp Kenny so when somebody kills it I can say "OH MY GOSH YOU KILLED KENNY! YOU BASTARD!!!"
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

I'm going to start working on a themed party very soon. It's going to consist of:

Thardus, a Regirock
Quadraxis, a Metagross
SporeSpawn, a Forretress
Chykka, a Yanmega
Kraid, a Tyranitar
Ridley, an Aerodactyl

The theme? Metroid bosses, of course.

Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

I like to name my pokemons obnoxiously;

Staraptor - H5N1 (Bird flu strain)
Snorlax - Bamf (That youtube video of two guys talking about snorlax...)
Infernape - Pogeyman (gotta catchem all!)
Swampert - Iherdulike (mudkipz)
Blastoise - Imdying (squirtle)
Kyogre - Cheapo (Self-explanatory I think :-/)
Palkia - Pewpewmon (See above)
Gardevoir - Scenechick (She looks like one?)
Absol - Emo*** (See above)
Butterfree - Filaria (Human parasites...)
Pidgeot - Diptheria (Diphtheria, a deadly disease that resurges often... like Pidgeys everywhere)

Then I have somewhat normal ones;

Nidoking - LeBron (King LBJ)
Kadabra - Kazza (No real reason)
Kricketune - Piccolo (Instrument)
Dratini - Gnarly ('cause they're cool)
Scyther - Altair (Assassin's Creed)
Jolteon - Tivo (I don't know why, I just wanted to :p)
Pikachu - Zeus

I need to come up with some normal names :sweat:
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Charizard - ZIPPO
Pigeot - WING
Nidoking - KING
Kadabra - PSYCH
Raichu - SPARKY
Vaporeon - RIPPLE
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Swampert- Murloc
Murloc are a species of humanoid amphibious fish like creatures from the Warcraft Universe.

Crobat- Vamprah
A little change in Vampire.

Gyarados- Myrmidon
I think they actually are Achilles' soldiers or something but I named him after the Naga civilisation's Heavy Melee unit from Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.

Still naming the rest.
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Crobat- Vamprah
A little change in Vampire.

Isn't Vamprah also a BIONICLE character?

Anyway, I normally don't nickname my Pokemon, but I'm thinking of nicknaming my HG team (and I might not):
-Feraligatr - Ripjaws (alien from Ben 10)
-Tyranitar (can't nickname, since I traded it from Platinum)
-Scizor - Sakura (the character from Naruto)
-Kingdra - Bracken (fellow user of BMGf)
-Dragonite - Edo-kun (another user of BMGf, till she changed her name to Giovanna Rocket)
-Ho-oh - Fawkes (the phoenix from Harry Potter)

Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

I never used to give my Pokemon nicknames, as I'm not very good in coming up with original ones. But I did try xD Here is my HeartGold team nicknames, none with any real meaning xD

Typhlosion(f) - Firefly
Meganium(m) - Basil
Noctowl(f) - Calypso
Quagsire(m) - Bead (the name just kinda stuck :/ )
Ampharos(f) - Peach
Dragonair(f) - Sapphire
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

I started a Blue Version and named my party some odd names. ._.
"Robotnik" the Ivysaur, "Balboa" the Geodude, and "The King" the Zubat.

It's been a couple years since I played that file, I wonder how Robotnik's doing?
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

Easy.

Wingull: Pimp Jet
when it evolves into Pelipper: Pimp Jet Mk.II

and my legendaries have to be the most uninteresting names ever.
Kyogre: Fish
Rayquaza: Steve
