[Typhlosion In Repose]

Anyone make up cool nicknames for their pokemon?
Here are some of mine:
Blaziken- Aeries
Sceptile- Congo
Milotic- Hydroplex
Metagross- Gilgamesh
Tyranitar- Chronos
Salamence- Gankutsuou

 

[Argy]

I name my Pokemon after their Japanese names.

Blaziken: Shamo (Bursyamo)
Skarmory: Aeris (Airmd)
Pelipper: Pellie
Wobbuffet: Sonny (Sonans)
Chimecho: Chiri (Chirean)
Tropius: Trippy

 

[The Realist™]

Throughout the years:

Fire Starters: Blaze

Water Starters: Rainstorm

Treeko and up: Leaf Blade

Houndoom: DeathStrike

 

[Habunake]

I usually give mine normal names based off their English names...

Occasionally though, I spice it up.. Nosferatu my Crobat is an example.

I usually don't bother with nicknames, unless it's a Pokemon I'll be trading to another game, then I like giving them stupid names. Here's some of the ones I have/had.

Peeram- Mareep
Odd Radish- Oddish
Dungbomb- can't remember what it was

Giving my Pokemon names is one of my favorite parts of the games. My naming patterns are completely random, but I tend to draw from natural stuff that fits the Pokemon, mythology, popular culture and anime characters.

Names I've given my Pokemon:

Ash, Charcoal, Hermione (different Charizards)
Marlboro (male Camerupt)
Hephaestus (male Torkoal)
Colorado (male shiny Gyarados)
Qinglong (male Gyarados)
Rainbow (female Kecleon)
Remus (male Mightyena)
Echo (female Gardevoir)
Soccer (male Glalie)
Arachne (female Ariados)
Jessie (female Arbok)
James (male Weezing)
Yukio (make Butterfree)
Ninden (male Ninjask)
Jack (male Cacturne)
Icarus (male Pidgeot)
Tiida (male Azumarill)
Atem (male Sableye)
Sunstorm (female Castform)
Horus (male Xatu)
Iori (male Noctowl)
Osamu (male Swellow)
Masaya (male Manectric)
Bruce (male Crobat)
Shakkou (Claydoll)
Wally and Linda (male and female Pikachu)

I'd name more but then we'd be here all night. These are just the ones that make me giggle the most.

Currently, I'm trying to catch a Pikachu with a Light Ball in Emerald. This resulted in thirteen Pikachu, of which three are female and ten have Oran Berries. In a fit of silliness, I decided to name all the male Pikachu (save for one I named L) after characters in Prince of Tennis, in the order of the English alphabet. So I have Akaya (Kirihara Akaya), Bunta (Marui Bunta), Choutarou (Ootori Choutarou), Gen'ichiro (Sanada Gen'ichirou), Horio (Horio Satoshi), Inui (Inui Sadaharu), Jiroo (Akutagawa Jiroo) and Kaidou (Kaidou Kaoru).

I'm silly and nicknaming Pokemon doesn't do me any good.

 

[Rukaria]

My Metagross is named Meta. My better Kyogre is named Kyo. My other Kyogre is named Gre. One of my Groudons is named Don. One of my Rayquazas is named Ray.
My Armaldo's name is Orithan. xD

I only name pokemon once they get to level 100. I have no idea what to name my gardevoir, though...(I was thinking Psy Chick or Venus...)

 

[Turtle Tamer Kammy]

I had a Salamence named George once. Also a Swampert named Simon, and when I was in middle school, I always had a Nidoqueen named Lavender and a Pikchu named .Sparks. :3 Right now I have a Charizard named Hideki and a Raichu named Sparks... old habits die hard, I guess.

 

[GreatLiver]

I don't normally nickname my pokemon, but for MD I've been doing it just to give them some originality.

 

[Typhlosion In Repose]

Anybody know what you are giong to name your D/P starter?

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Yukio (make Butterfree)

Mine too! I've also got a Wurmple named Oikawa.

I should find something to name Hiroki. Maybe a Growlithe or something.


Anyway, right now in my LG party I have Jumbo the Donphan, Violet the Tropius, Desmond the Trapinch, Junpei the Lanturn, Yosa the Grimer, and Puka the Pikachu. So my names are kinda across the board.

 

[Turtle Tamer Kammy]

I name my Pokemon after their Japanese names.

I've been thinking about doing that for DP since I'm so used to seeing their Japanese names on here already and I rather like 'em.
