(with the exception of some legendary pokes...) I always NN my Pokemon (see my sig). I have a text file on my computer that has all my Silver NN cause I could never remember all of them :oops: , but I still need to type out the ones from my other games. Some of my favorites from Ruby are:
Absol1-Akbasher
Absol2-Kuvaszok
Mightyena-Bettacha
Swalot-Wyimrekou
Zangoose-Mondelrek
Zigzagoon-Derckly

I usually do. Every time I start a new game, I choose a different theme. I'm just playing it by ear right now. My Gold Version level 49 Crobat is nicknamed Crunchy, after a little secondary character in a fabulous webcomic called A Modest Destiny. Crunchy is a bat who belongs to a vampire called Fluffy. He looks almost exactly like the GSC in-party bat sprite. And unlike most, this was raised from a lvl 3 Zubat knowing only Leechlife caught with a Pokeball! I did not just use a Friend ball to get a lvl 35 Golbat in Victory road. I also have a Graveler named Steamrolla in Sapphire :eek: . Dunno what I was thinking then.

I nickname most of my Pokemon, unless I'm just catching lots of pokemon to get something, or I don't like the Pokemon.

The opposite of almost everyone here, I ALWAYS nickname my Pokemon. For example, my current team:

Male Dratini - Dearin
Male Flareon - Exverst (I originally thought Everest, but it came out like that.)
Male Nidoking - Nextell (Don't ask.)
Female Pidgeotto - Kerectik (After my cat, who we call Tik sometimes.)
Female Raichu - Meringue (The yellow of the Pikachu reminded me of Lemon Meringue Pie.)
Male Wartortle - Cincinnati (Originally Systematic, but I changed the name in Lavender Town.)

I have odd names for some of my Pokemon. Those are only the ones in my team. =P

=P
I like how you came up with the name Exverst....interesting..but how did you get a name like THAT???
lol thats funny....meringue....ha:crackup: *giggles to much and falls off the computer seat*:oops:

Volbeat/VOLBEAT

I name all my pokes, but I use a japanese word that relates to the pokemon. You can get some great names.

I have over 18 lvl100 teams, so I really cannot be bothered to fish out each team, and the pokemon names. T-T Sorry, just giving my views here.

I nickname most of my IMPORTANT Pokemon: Ho-oh/Overheat (you know, cause it's fire) Lugia/Tsunami (just for Hydro Pump) Swampert/Tim (random name) Kingdra/Mike (another random) Rayquaza/Ray (isn't it obvious why?)and about 35-40 Azurill/Marrill/Azumarill just because there a family. Oh, and from my Lg I just traded in: Riachu/Obi-Wan Pidgeot/Trooper004 (for a Star Trooper) R2-D2/soon to be Blastoise Eevee/Trooper(I forget the #) Hitmonchan/Trooper(I forget again)

Not that I'm a big fan,(I don't know who Qui-Gon-Jin is) but since Star Wars is big right know in the US, I just named my Pokemon and self after it.:wink:

I don't give my Pokemon nick-names. They don't sound right.

I only nicknamed one Pokémon on my Ruby version and that would by Groudon. I called it 'lame' so as you can see, it reflects it's abilities.

Watch Episode I. :p

Like Katera, I give my 'Mons Japanese nicknames if I can find good ones. I usually only name the 'Mons on my teams, or my favorite Pokemon. I can thank this mostly in part to my Japanese class in school and Japanese to English dictionaries!

Venusaur - Kinome ('Leaf Bulb')
Blastoise - Aranami ('Raging Waves')
Jolteon - Hinoko ('Sparks')
Milotic - Airashii ('Lovely')

Those are the ones I can remember. :oops:

lalala
11-07-2005, 03:16 AM
Lalala names her important pokemon after people Lalala likes. But only important ones, not all of them...

Lalala printed off japenese pokemon names but lost the sheet... also Lalala thinks you have to rename the pokemon if it evolved. Which is time consuming and annoying.

PB, there's an awesome online English to Japanese dictionary at http://www.freedict.com/onldict/***.html. Just type in a word (or words) and, viola - a possible, cool Japanese nickname. :wink:

EDIT: The word in the link is 'j*ap' (without the *)...I guess that's offensive.

I have only ever named one of my Pokémon. It was back in the Yellow version, where I named my Pikachu "Shipshock". I don't know why I did it, but I thought it sounded cool.

11-28-2005, 06:45 PM
Tropius - Shackada (Shack-a-da)
Swellow - Wartex (War-tex)
Blaziken - Acouma (A-cu-ma)
Kecleon- Cutra (Cut-ra)
Sandshrew - Granitit (Gran-i-tit)
Machoke - Hingeurt (Hin-gurt)
Pelipper - Vapour (Va-pour)
Trapinch - Ra (Ra)
Rhyhorn - Hornarntun (Horn-nar-tarn)

I just slap letters together, I don't think the words mean anything except for Vapour and Ra.

11-28-2005, 07:54 PM
I nickname Pokemon, but only the ones I use to battle. I usually give them NN's that reflect what they look like, or they're type or their personalities...like my Nidoking is NN'ed Tox, and my Rhydon is NN'ed Charger. ^^ It makes them more unique IMO.
