Clever Pokémon Nicknames

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

I added a new name theme for my HG. All my loved team members that I can name will be called something+taro. So far I've got:

Psytaro(Eevee, hopin' to evolve into Espeon)
Chibitaro(Quilava)
Treetaro(Turtwig)
Yoketaro(Togepi)
Mimetaro(Sudowoodo)

I'm trying to find a Sentret to name either "Sentaro" or "Raccotaro". I'm too lazy to bike all the way back to New Bark and they never show up on my Pokewalker. Anyway, whih name do you guys think is better?
 
Re: Pokemon Nicknames! What have you named your team and what meanings do the names h

In my SS this is my team, most of them just represent their specific quailties or are mocks of their real name

Scizor - 70s Red - might change it RedForeman - Because i love That 70's Show

SPYRO the Charizard
DUSTER the Venomoth
FINN the Seadra
TEMPEST the Hypno
1UP the Parasect
JAMES the Jolteon (In my hometown, the inventor James Watt is kind of a big historical figure. It felt clever at the time. I renamed him to something shit like AMPS.)

Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

Haven't really thought of any clever names. I came up with Emboar for Tepig/Pokabu, but I was far from being the only one to think of that name, and it ended up being one of the romanizations for Pokabu's final evolution, anyway.

Fjords the Empoleon.
Zephyr the Pidgeotto.
Kenshin the Scizor (after Rorouni Kenshin).

Here are some of mine:
Garchomp(male): Viral; after the tenga toppa gurren lagann character who was part shark and fought in desert areas
Salamence(female): Sally; for cuteness and lolz
Lucario: Ozymandias; named after one of the most famous egyptian kings, Lucario has design elements from egypt
Bronzong: Aspis; named after the bronze sheilds used by ancient greek hoplites, Bronzong functions a defensive role acting like a sheild.

Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

I named a Tentacruel "UGTBCTBK". Why, might you ask?
It's short for "You got to be cruel to be kind"
Kinda lame, I know. There's also the fact that nearly every Magikarp I catch ends up being named "Wishoffish" (Wish of Fish).
 
Re: Clever Pokemon nicknames

The name of any physicist - Any member of the Dragon Trio. I prefer Einstein for Dialga, Newton for Palkia, and Hawking or Morgan-Mar for Giratina.
'ThelVadam or Arbiter - Palkia. Why? It sorta looks like the Arbiter.
Eldritch (as in Eldritch Abomination) or Lovecraft - Giratina, which, well, pretty much is a low-grade Eldritch Abomination, and was possibly influenced by Lovecraftian horrors
Precious - Giratina, just to be ironic
Vesuvius - Groudon
Meditran (a shortening of Mediterranian) - Kyogre
Alpine - Rayquaza
Flametorch - Moltres
Conductor - Zapdos
Deepfreeze - Articuno
Giygas - Spiritomb
Insomnia - Snorlax
Kaiba - Reshiram (Hmm, it's a dragon-type and it's white with blue eyes. Same as Seto Kaiba's signature card)
Wheeler - Zekrom (black dragon type with red eyes. Same as what was once Joey Wheeler's signature Card)
