Clever Pokémon Nicknames

Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I named my Weezing LosAngeles.
If you get it...lol

Thanks.
do you mean because wheezing's prototype name was LA?


some names:
sableye=Diamond
Castform=blizzard
groudon=ruby, kyogre=sapphire and raquaiza(spelling)=emerals
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

shiny Bulbasaur = Evergreen

The pun meaning he's all green all the time. Like an evergreen/pine tree
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I named my Seaking "Shortlived". Why? Because, they go upstream to lay eggs. Salmons go upstream to lay eggs and die when their job is done. I figure it's the same for Seaking.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I name my Infernape Tarzan if that counts XD
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Tyranitar= OMGzilla
Magnezone= Foo Fighter (it being a term coined by american pilots in WW2 for unidentified flying objects)
Swampert= Axeman (mudkip based on axolotls)
Aerodactyl= Polly (I was listening to Nirvana Unplugged while building the team, seemed suitable)
Gliscor= DarkNight (The Johto episode where there's a Gligar based Batman...)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Maybe not clever enough, but these are some of my nicknames(m=male, f=female):
-Kadabra(m): Kelfa...this one was random.
-Absol(f): Enigma.
-Misdreavus(f): Misserie(Miss+Misery+Marie).
-Jynx(f): Cassiopeia, but I was going to name her Freezilia.
-Sandshrew(f): Elisand(Elisa+sand :dumb:)
-Drowzee(f): Dreamber(Dream+amber).
-Dratini(f): Coraline.
-Honchkrom(m): Valerius.
-Venomoth(f): Poison...not really original.
-Tentacruel(f): Górgona.

Those are just some of them.

lol Until now I didn't realized most of my pokemon were female.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Kadabra(M) - Houdini (lol :p)
Misdreavus(F) - Magic
Rampardos(M) - Ramageddon (I simply switched the A R and M in Armageddon to make "Ram" x3)
Squirtle(F) - Shelby
Pikachu(M) - Bolt (I'm sure hundreds of people already used this one :x)
Dodrio(M) - Avian
Clefable(F) - Limestone
Meganium(F) - Cherry
Pidgeot(M) - Pilot (always loved using this name :3)
Medicham(F) - Pinky
Ambipom(F) - Zaipalm (I honestly have no idea how I came up with this one ._.)
Floatzel(M) - Flabby (simple, yet adorable :B)
Azumarill(F) - Bunny
Sceptile(F) - Poppy
Cyndaquil(M) - Quimby (it's a cute name T^T)
Ampharos(F) - Beacon or Lighthouse
Victreebel(M) - Venus

There's a WHOLE bunch more, but I don't want to make an extremely long post. ><
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Some pretty hilarious nicknames on my Diamond team that I made up:

Marill - Cheese (I was bored :p)
Biberal - Dam it (MOST. HILARIOUS. NAME. EVAH!!!!)
Staravia - Free Bird (Get the joke?)
Quagsire - Smilebob (The simle part is because Quagsire always smiles, and the bob part is because it's a water Pokémon)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Pikachu(M) - Bolt (I'm sure hundreds of people already used this one :x)

Then this should not be in the Creative nickname thread, just saying. I like a few of the nicknames here though. Once B/W is released I may start nicknaming, haven't done that since Gen III.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I'm not that clever, but I have 2:
Torkoal - Balakot (First place to excavate a furnace, and Torkoal is basically a walking furnace)
Sharpedo - CheepCheep (lol)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Right Now I've got an all rock type team whose names all begin with the letter B:

Shuckle(M) - Benzene (After the chemical)
Corsola(F) - Boulotte (Character from the opera Barbe-bleue)
Aggron(F) - Bernice (She looks like a Berince)
Cradily(M) - Bokonon (From Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle)
Aerodactyl(M) - Beavis (heh heh heh)
Tyranitar(M) - Big Brad (He's large and in charge)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Pelipper=Pelipwn <Made that myself :p
Sceptile=WildVine<Saw on the internet
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Clefable - Pixie (Pixie is a description for her fairy-ness, and this is also her Japanese name, and even her cry vaguely sounds like "Pixie" too)
Tangrowth - Luigi (This one I only see, but it is decent since Tangrowth's normal colour is blue and shiny colour is green, colours of Luigi, but the spaghetti-like look on him/her makes some chuckle at its mention)

Thanks for reading.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Torterra=Marty, first pokemon I ever got
Magmortar=Maggie, explains itself
Luxray=Luxur, not very creative
Staraptor=BIRDofPREY, quite obvious
Heracross=Sheldon, don't ask
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I only give nicknames to my team pokemon, shinies and very special ones.

Right now, the ones with nicknames are:

Sensei the Infernape. Because he was my first pokemon in ages, and he was like a teacher to all the others.

X-Ray the luxray. Quite obvious...
Rosie the Roserade. Also Obvious.
Mencer the Salamence.
Rockzila the Tyranytar.
Atzelerate the Floatzel (Also my first shiny ever). Combination of Floatzel and accelerate.
Wattsquash the shiny Electivire. Watt and Sasquash
FalcnPunch the Shiny Staraptor.
Digital the Porygon-Z

Eckell the shiny Gliscor. My previous username before I learnt that it was a last name...
Krakatoa the Typhlosion. Krakatoa use eruotion.
Huitzi the Togekiss. Huitzi is The Nahuatl word for Hummingbird.
Titan the Heracross.
Shade the Umbreon.
Halley the Lanturn.

Those are all... Gotta think of some for BW, though I already have one:

Asterix the Aaken.
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

If anyone hasn't seen Eitaro's sig, Bidoof- Bieber (Failure and Abomination)
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Ones I like:

Infernape-Judo
Electivire-Metavamp
Metagross-Colossus (after super-computer)
Honchkrow-Honcho (unoriginal but fitting)
Gliscor-Scorpio

Ones I want to change:

Swampert-Hydro :/
Abomasnow-Chiller :/

Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

If I hadn't forgotten all my Kana by the time I got my Japanese Pearl 4 years ago, I'd have named my Torterra "Terradactyl," or something. It'd probably be possible considering that as faulty as Katakana is, it still takes up less space than Roman letters, but whatever.

My nicknames are usually not that clever (except maybe Darklight the Darkrai, if that qualifies), but my Blastoise is named "Machoman." Hur hur, random.
