Clever Pokémon Nicknames

Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I don't intentionally think of coming up with clever names. The names I come up with are either random or just plain wacked.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Derp the Slowpoke and Pinkie Pie the Ponyta.

... These names I make aren't clever at all, I know, they suck. :V
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I named my Crobat "Keese"(I'm sure you got the reference.) I'm not sure if it's clever or not, you decide. :p
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I wounldn't call it clever, but my favourite nickname I've thought up is Shadylian the Totodile.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Rafflesia the Vileplume, as Vileplume is pretty much based off a rafflesia.
Phil and PhilipKD, the Flaafy and Mareep respectively after Philip K Dick who wrote 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'
Sun Wukong the Infernape, named after Sun Wukong from 'Journey to the West'
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

my nicknames usualy wind up clever referances to random things.

and by clever, i mean insanely vauge, once i was going for a Dr.Who referance and wound up with Captain Ahab the magikarp.

and the most clever one i can remember is Mozzilla the Ninetails. getit? getit?
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

In Diamond, I have a Chatot named Charap. No idea on the name origin, but it's a neat name for a Chatot :)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I called my Omastar in Red Helix, based on the fossil he's from.

I also named my Slowking Emperor, a name I really like.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Few days ago I got a Togepi hatched in my LG, and named it "Eggman".

... Yes I'm serious, I named it that. Obvious reasons why. :V
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

My female Electivire is named Diva because of Motor Drive.

I named a Tailow Lift because its Japanese name is Subame and if you read it in Spanish it means "lift me" or "raise me".
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I named my Chimecho "Astarael" from The Abhorsen Trilogy. 'Cause it's a bell. :|

My Espeon is named "Lumen" and my Umbreon is named "Nox". Perhaps not so clever as it is obvious.

I also named my Dratini/Dragonair/Draonite "Falkor" from The NeverEnding Story. Also from The NeverEnding Story I named my Tsutarja/Snivey "Auryn" after that snake emblem in the book.

This is kinda weird, but I named my Darumakka/Hihidaruma "Greg". Like Dharma and Greg. Anyone?

I think my most clever nickname is Bluetooth the Feraligatr.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

When I caught a shiny Chinchou I named it Jon Stewart because I thought shiny Lanturn would also be green. They're purple but I still kept the name.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

OH YEAH!!! ALL OF YOU CAN'T CONTEND WITH THIS!!! I named my toxicroak Toe-Jam.

@ LucarioGirl: That's kinda funny considering that the chatot that you get from an in-game trade is nicknamed Charap.

What about naming a Tailow, "Swift" :D
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Heyhey, this one's good. I have some...

Cerbera the Espeon (Cerbera's a flower, which blooms at day)
Cooperia the Umbreon (Cooperia's a flower which blooms at night)
Ampera the Jolteon (Opel's new electric car hehehe)
