I combine other users' nicks and insults in one Pokemon.

I usually change my naming schemes a lot but I always name these things Rebecca.

 

I once asked what to nickname my Suicune that i just caught in Pokemon Fire Red, I asked in /tr/ server, Never Again, I don't wanna share what Happened. i Remember Bamarah was there. I named it Water Horse.

 

= LightGod

 

Why not Kingdra or the family? o.O Makes more sense.

 

huh what do you mean?

 

Because Kingdra and family are seahorses...

 

oh yeah right. Well I didn't really have a Kingdra in Fire Red. Also I Named Suicune Water Horse since it ran on Water.

 

Should've named the Suicune 'Kingdra'
Pokepuns
Crappy Pokepuns

 

My Pokemon nicknames are literally just the first thing that pops into my head. My Genesect is nicknames Rake..

 

Generally I make nicknames based on the pokemon (or add 'y' to the end of a word, for example Ghosty or Firey when I want to be original). But always call Bronzong 'bellend' and Marowak 'boner'. Yeah, I'm original.

And we haven't even got onto Metapod with called Penis with Harden and string shot...

 

I used to name a lot of my pokes after like Rockman characters too since thats like my favorite game series.

 

I call one team all by war implements eg. Nuclear Warfare, Sniper Rifle, Commando, etc. I also made a team of "Gods" including Ra, Hyperion, Nemesis, etc.

 

I had an Altaria named Candyfloss in my Ruby. It kicked ass.
In-game, I always name every pokemon I catch/aquire, examples are the Empoleon named Icebreaker, Shroomish named Mr. Muffin, a Wingull named JonathanL and a Kadabra named Uri.

 

Some of my Pokemon in Black 2...


Panzer
Hydreigon and its family were originally designed as cyborg tank/dragons, but that was scrapped. When they were revived, they were then based on Slavic dragons and that Japanese thing with 8 heads (can't remember its name). The treads on its body are reminiscent of the original tank aspect. Therefore, I named it Panzer after the tank the Germans used in WW2.


Krakatoa
It's based on volcanic remains, and in every game it's been found in a volcano. So...yeah. Krakatoa.

 

I sometimes name mine after Megaman characters, ex:
Primarina–Splashwoman
Magnezone–Magnetman
Porygon→Porygon2→Porygon-Z–Lan
Sometimes I do them after planets, or sometimes they're puns off of their names, ex:
Togedamaru–Maruko
Vikavolt–Vic
I've taken to naming some Ultra Beasts after characters they resemble, ex:
Nihilego–Anti-Lillie
Pheromosa–Not-Lusamine
Xurkitree–Not-Guzma
But more often than not, I just give them ordinary names.
Also, how do I nickname in the teambuilder?
