I hadn't really thought of what to nickname my team until quite recently, and whether I would go with a theme or not. I ultimately settled on giving them Spanish names, which are as follows (only five because I still can't decide on a sixth member):
Fuecoco//: Salvador (M) or Soledad (F)
...
A corgi would do well as the early route Normal-type a la Rattata/Sentret/etc. (though it might step on Lillipup's toes), though I'm curious to see if we'll get regional variants again, now that they've been established by Sun/Moon.
And I agree, if they make 100 new 'mons, I would be happy.
I really want to get a male Tsareena and call him Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, but that's too long, so I'll just call him Katya.
(hooray for drag queen references amirite?)
A friend of mine managed to find two shiny Buneary within 3 or 4 encounters using DexNav, but then failed to find any more after chaining over 100, so it still seems entirely random to me.
I just read a comment on Facebook about Silvally's RKS System ability.
RKS. Arceus.
Subtle.
(which I guess shows why it's called AR System in Japanese)
EDIT: Damn, Greninja'd by Vinx :P
In Null/Silvadi's defence, it's a synthetic Pokémon, so it makes sense to me that its "evolution" doesn't seem as drastic.
Also, Jararanga seem kinda overdesigned to me, but I think I'll get used to it. Also, that shade of yellow is making me think of Haxorus.
Oh god, that would be terrible XD
If anything, I think maybe each UB could represent an evil team, but just as a call-back or something like that. Having any actual connection to those teams would just be bad. For example, the UB based on Galactic could be called UB-(number) Creation, since...
I just had a totally random thought:
The two new Ultra Beasts are Expansion and Beauty.
Team Aqua/Magma's goal was expanding the seas/land, and Team Flare wanted to create a beautiful world.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but then, CoroCoro does say that UB-01's codename might be...
I'm with @Lone_Garurumon, Jangmo-o definitely seems like it's going to be Dragon/Steel, especially after looking into its name. Its English, Japanese and German names all refer to jingling/rattling, and I imagine metal scales and/or wings would create such a sound.
As far as nicknames go, I have only settled on Vika for Vikavolt, Fishy Queen for Bruxish (because it looks like a drag queen version of Basculin), and Scoutmaster for Alolan Meowth (because someone said it looks like it would talk like Paul Lynde, and the first thing that came to mind was this:
)
Didn't use as much alliteration as I thought I would, but it was still fun:
Bug: Devastation Swarm
Dark: Infinite Shadow
Dragon: Draconian Impact
Fighting: Buster Knuckle
Fairy: Supreme Shimmer
Flying: Skybreaker
Ghost: Phantom Nightmare
Ground: Grand Tremor
Ice: Absolute Freezing
