I combine other users' nicks and insults in one Pokemon. Spoiler Heatran — Jin Of The Fail Gengar — t3 the noob [/HIDE] etc etc
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.
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.
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 usually just name Pokemon after friends. For example, (Old BW1 Team) Yache Landorus - Ripamon Chople Tyranitar - John Def. Slowbro - Dante Scarf Heatran - Finchinator (I usually nickname myself after the MVP of the team, idk why, just works.) SpDef Rotom-W - AWildIRSAgent Skarmory - Hitman
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?
