Title: The name master nicknames rated
Post by: The name master on July 11, 2017, 09:56
Post me your nicknames.

First the species, then the nickname. Then an explanation underneath for the name.

I'll Insult them like the name rater.

Also please insert an image of the nicknamed pokemon above it, so I can tell what it is and save me a tiny bit of time.

Example:

Porygon - Poly
As in Polly, as in Polygon, as in Porygon. (it'll only work if you want a "female" Porygon)

Feel free to rate this one! :)

I'm just going to assume this nickname is too dumb for an explanation! Not that it would've made a difference with one!

I'm failing to understand how you think you can get away with a 14 letter nickname, regardless of generation. You can do better!
Spoiler: show
Not!

Feel free to rate this one! :)

If you had a BRAIN, you'd realize that Porygon never have genders, nor do Porygon2 or Porygon-Z.
Also the fact that I took time out of my day to look at this piece of crap gave me a seizure, just like that one episode of old Pokemon...

And that is why I would put that female symbol at the end!

Goodra - Goopy
Blame Jacksepticeye! He gave me the idea from describing Toad's voice as being "goopy" in one of his Mario Maker videos! Better than anything on the name rater page!

1. I do know how to spell, it's EEEEEEEEERRRRGGGGHHHH, I'm so triggered, and

I am actually terrified. Not of this unfortunate Bulbasaur, but of your nicknames. How much more terrifyingly bad will these nicknames get?

If "the Duskull" is part of the nickname, way too long!

Dusty as in gathering dust for how unused and ignored it is?

Swampert - Kawako

(https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/anim/normal/swampert.gif)

Kawako or Kappa are yokai creatures found in traditional japanese folklore. The name being made of kawa or river and wappa or variant form. The most common form of a Kappa is that of a child size frog creature with a shell with blue or green scales. I thought this name fit because Swampert looks like the creatures as well as being 4'11 which is the height of a Kappa.

Kawako is a horrible nickname!

Kappa is also a horrible nickname for Golduck, but it isn't any better for Swampert (or any pokemon!)

You post these nicknames, saying they're "kinda" good and expect me to say how great they are? Why do I do this?

That is a nasty, uncreative and unoriginal nickname for Bellossom!

To explain Nixon, it sounds like vixen. A vixen is a female fox.

These puns are hardly un-president-ed (unprecedented, google it) but at least I gave it a go!

Trashy doesn't cover it! What about all those poor non shinys? And aren't we lucky there's only a 1/8192 chance of encountering a shiny? Not really. Still much too big!
