What is your favorite nickname you have given to a Pokémon?

[a230]

I can't really put the nickname I gave here. Their are really limit in term of acceptability haha. I like to imagine peoples face when they see their names online haha.

I still have a couple of Pokémon with acceptable nicknames. Like my female Infernape from BDSP called Caulifla from Dragon Ball.

I never nickname my Pokémon, but I used a female Fearow named Kill Bill and an Electrode named Boomer for my FireRed Nuzlocke...

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Best nickname I ever used was for a female Exploud. Decibelle.

I called mine Lyle, specifically after the singing crocodile that got a movie the same year S/V came out (though some of y’all might’ve guessed that).

So, nicknames. They can be used to build bonds with Pokémon, pay homage to their inspiration, or just be silly! So, what is your favorite nickname(s) you have given to a Pokémon?

I have two: the first was my first Pokémon I nicknamed, my shining pearl chimchar. Without the knowledge of many peoples distaste for humanoid starters, I named it something along the lines of “Human?!?!?” I think this one is funny in retrospect, as I blindly stumbled into many peoples biggest complaint about some starter Pokémon. I think my actual thought process went something along the lines of “oh hey! Monkeys and humans are kind of similar! This monkey looks especially humanoid! I should name it something to do with that!”

My second is my indigo disk incineroar, which I named “Hulk Hogato”, just a fun port-manteau to reference its inspiration.

So, I named my mudkip sausage. bcz i thought mudkip, kip, kippers(im british), sausage, SAUSAGE THE MUDKIP

This is really silly but... Ruby, for my Flareon. It just clicked immediately and now she's an important part of my original character's team (or well, my OC that exists only in my head and in no public spaces, lol). Sometimes the simplest nicknames are the best. :3c

Shoutout to Alejandro the Skeledirge. I might have pictures of him I can share later.

I rarely name my Pokémon, but one name I feel comfortable with is: Tyna and Tayná - Tyranitar (Female).

But beware. Tyna is very irritable.

I’ve only nicknamed Pokémon for nuzlockes and personally my favorites are
Ares the Ceruledge, named after the god of war and courage; fitting since it fainted against a Pokémon that had two super effective attacks and almost won too
Xiangqi the kingambit, named after a version of chess from China
Demeter the Dachsbun, named after the goddess of harvest, grains and the like
Terpsichore the Oricorio, named after the muse of dance
Clotho the Spidops, spins the thread of human life

 

[CatExe]

The best one I've come up with is Jellicoe the Drednaw, named after the commander of the British Dreadnoughts during WWI
