Clever Pokémon Nicknames

[RainbowSylveon]

My current Leavanny is named Coriander. Coriander's a spice, Leavanny's a grass type... yeah. I tend to name grass types after different spices. I also named my Braviary after Thor's weapon in Norse mythology, Mjolnir.

 

[Urilikya]

I tend to take themes for naming my Pokemon.

For example, I named myself Caesar in my last White run, and I named my Tepig Brutus. From there I started naming all my Pokemon Latin names that are puns off of what they are. I.E. Galeo (helmet) for Shelmet or Canus for Lillipup.

[Lelis]

Let's say I'm really into Geography and usually my party's nicknames are related to that. I take into consideration the Pokémon's design and name them after geographic landforms or regions/countries. For exemple, I once had a Hippowdon named Niger, because its type, color pattern that reminds of deserts and its ability Sand Stream. Intense sandstorms are really common in Sahara and the Sahel, both regions where the country Niger is located.

On my current Platinum walkthrough at this point I have:
Infernape name Sahel; a Gastrodron name Sudd; a Rotom named Cairo; a Staraptor named Magreb and a Roselia named Gambia. I still haven't decided my other mon.

but sometimes the names are pretty random and even kinky lol. Better stop here :flinch:

 

[The Froakster]

I named my most recent female Snivy after Severa from Fire Emblem, it's something about the personality of Ash's Snivy that reminded me of Severa.

 

[Mooites]

Hitmontop: D-Trix (a bboy known for his crazy headspins)

 

[The Froakster]

Feraligatr- Aquaclaw
Moltres- Pheonix
Umbreon- Apocolypse
Gyarados- Stupid (in my first file, didn't know magikarp would evolve into gyarados)
Chimchar- Chichar (official son of Chim Chim and Char Char)

 

[qixz]

just got a Parasect with sweet scent, spore and false swipe. called him Pedosect.

not a very clever one but thought it was a funny one

 

[Pain Split]

On a few of my files:
Weavile- Fang, or more recently, Scythe
Bisharp- Dagger
Vulpix- Flare
Golem- Armstrong
Crobat- Radar or Cloud
Houndoom- Cerberus
Gengar- a lot of stuff. Usually Fear, Shade, etc.
Dusknoir- Cloak
Altaria- Wing
Sharpedo- Hazard
Sableye- Havoc or Insanity
Breloom- Life, Health, etc. on account of its massive healing capabilities.
Shuckle- Shield
The list goes on.

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

Just restarted my Black 2 ROM, and here are my NEW nicknamed Pokemon:

Hebi (Servine)- Japanese for "Snake" (Pokedex says it's a Grass Snake)

Okami (Houndour)- Japanese for 'Wolf' (it's a black wolf)

Marino (Dewott) - Spanish for "Sea" (It's a water-type, and that name sounds cool.)

Kusa (Grovyle) - Japanese for 'Blade' (It knows the move Leaf Blade)

Mizu (Croconaw)- Japanese for 'Water' (Another water-type...)

Shori (Victini)- Japanese for 'Freedom' (WAS gonna name it Victory, but changed my mind)

Mimi (Audino)- Japanese for 'Ear' (It's hearing is VERY sensitive, so....)

Dendo (Elikid)- Japanese for 'Electric' (i would have done "spark plug", but it was WAY too long)

Watage (Mareep)- Japanese for 'Fluff' (It's a fluffy sheep!)

Doku (Seviper)- Japanese for 'Poison' (Needed an evil-meaning name, so i chose that. Plus, Seviper is a Poison-Type)

Kinoko (Shroomish) -Japanese for 'Mushroom' (I know, i know. It's lame.)

Yatai (Magnemite)- Japanese for 'Float' (It floats using anti-gravity!)

Kaihou (Butterfree)- Japanese for 'Butterfly' (Once again, lame.)

and NO i am not Japanese. i just happen to like looking it up.

 

[cheren2345]

Also restarted my Soul Silver ROM. Here are my New Nicknames!-
Current Team:
Chimchar (F) [Monkeyking] (I think it's an AWESOME name I thought up)

Quilava (F) [Kimira] (I think it's a very pretty name, for one of my fave Pokemon on my team)

Combusken (F) [Fire-Red] (Yes, the actual name of the game. I'm that obsessed w/ Pokemon)

Ivysaur (F) [Leaf-Green] (Again, the name of the game. But this time it's 'cause I always choose Bulbasaur in Leaf Green. Always.)

Wartortle (F) [10,000 yrs] (Named 'cause of the Pokedex entry in one of the GBA games)

Leafeon (F) [Earth-Day] (I am a MAJOR 'save the environment' girl, and Leafeon is a a grass-type....)


Others:
Sandshrew (F) [Sandball] (Don't ask. Idk WHY I named her that.)

Aipom (F) [Playful] ('Cause Aipom is playful, and stealing Ash's hat...)

Pachirisu (F) [Sparx] (Taken out of a story I read. It was actually named for a Pikachu, but I figured it could be used for any electric-type.)

Oddish (M) [Oddball] (Don't ask. I have NO idea why I named it that. I think I was running out of names...)

Poliwag (F) [Poli-Swirl] (That. Name. RULES!)

Gulpin (F) [EatSome] (More...?)

Ditto [Daycare] (Use it for breeding)

Bonsly (M) [Crybaby] (It cries....)

Shellder (F) [Shelly] (Pathetic Name, I know!)

 

[Wispy Willow]

(Don't actually have this) Mightyena - Link/Wolf Link because it looks similar to Wolf Link from Zelda Twilight Princess.

 

[Silverwynde]

Yesterday I traded for a Golurk, simply because I liked its nickname. It was named Optimus. Too bad he doesn't know Transform but maybe I can reteach him Rollout...

 

[cheren2345]

i actually used an Animal Crossing: New Leaf town name gen. for my Pokemon's names (Lame, i KNOW!). here are my party Pokemon for White:

Servine [Foxfield] (i thought it was a pretty name for a female Servine).

Panpour [Icelight] (I'm not sure WHY i gave him this name, as i HATE that Pokemon.

Charmeleon [Redbrook] (ALMOST the name of my town in my New Leaf game. this Pokemon is Red, so why not give him that name?)

Porygon [Skydrop] (Also am frustrated w/ this one. Gave it the 1st name i liked.)

Espeon [Sunbrook] (My fave Pokemon in my Party, she has the ability Magic Bounce. her nickname is also the EXACT name of my town in New Leaf.)

Keldeo [Starwind] (Mythical Pokemon, mythical name. Too bad it can't be in Resolute Forme in White.)

 

[Scoobsterinc]

Cyndaquil (F) Cydney

I like this one because its named after sydney which is one place I have always wanted to go too.

Ditto - Poke-Prime

Don't ask I just thing of the transformers every time I get a ditto.

 

[Lelis]

[Water Max]

I have nicknamed a level 1 Giratina from Sinjoh Ruins Neutrino because Cynthia says "This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..." in Sinjoh Ruins and neutrinos are made from colliding matter with antimatter.

 

[SquishyFace]

I'm planning to name my Sylveon "Dovahkiin", since he will be the bane of all dragons.

 

[MagicSauce]

I usually give my pokes really pompous sounding names like Wadsworth (the slowbro) and Reginald (the Kingdra) my favourite nickname though if my Morbidly obese snorlax called "&aDietCoke"
