Hi, I'm pretty new here, and I've wanted to post a nickname for a Pokemon. Several, actually. However it seems that the database is literally always full every time I try. Is there a specific time, or date where there's less submissions? I hate to be picky, but I'm quite good(in my opinion) at coming up with nicknames, so I'd like to get them rated. :/
-
I think it's cause the name rater retired (or is retiring, I can't remember.) Either way, don't hold your breath. And welcome, by the way. We always like having new members here. You should check out the IRC chat if you have the time, I'm on sometimes, and others, such as Lord Raven and dragoncat are on pretty much always.
-
Those behind the Name Rater are busy and unfortunately this has caused a backlog with the amount in there. I'd wait it out because it will get emptied eventually, in the mean time you could always stick around on the forums =]
-
Aha, thanks, sorry I took so long to reply.
(Also Lord Raven that sounds veeeeeery familiar to someone on another forum I go to... Same username and everything.)
-
When will they be able to be back up and running? Cause I have a lot nicknames I would love to share.
-
Yes, me too!
-
It was last updated in November, and before that September (many times in September, actually, must've been in a name rating mood), but it's kinda just random when it's done afaik, but I would've thought it'd be updated fairly soon, and when it is that clears a bit of the backlog.
-
Yeah, I just joined this forum as well a few days ago, because I thought it'd be fun to see what the Name Rater thought of some of my favorite nicknames.
Disappointed that there is a backlog.
-
You guys should make a forum game, "rate the Pokemon & nickname above" to pass the time.
-
there should really be a notice on the name rater page about this because theres honestly a new thread asking this question every week and theres only so many times you can answer a question before it gets annoying.
-
all you really need is a higher iq to understand why it isnt working lmao
-
god lol
thats true too. i have bad reading comprehension at times but honestly i dont know whats really hard to understand about "the queue is full"? its right there in writing.
unless this is the new meme only newbies are in on and the jokes been on us all along.
-
only acceptable pokemon nicknames are dudeskull and yellowducky
-
Dudeskull is a LAME name. it may be a good name for a gangster but not for a pokemon!
-
The name rater liked a few of mine which were F. (F standing for Furious) George the Primeape, Pincushion the Cacnea, Xerox the Ditto. He also had no problem with Tom Jones the Hitmontop and Lucy the Togekiss which also knows Sky Attack and is a reference to Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds. Marjory the Garbodor also seemed to have fared well.

Dude what are you talking about? The psyduck you traded me you named it yellowducky. Thats even a more lame name!!
-
yellowducky is comedy gold are you kidding pun was intended

I think my main concern is how this guy even rates these names. Granted, many of the nicknames are very bad, some even down right an abomination. However, there are plentiful of decent nicknames and you read the rating, it comes of overly snobby. Maybe I'm a dim wit, and failed to see it as satirical humor rather than a valid nick name rating, but there are times the Name Rater does approve of nicknames... they are few and far in between, but how he deems them good befuddles me. Some nicknames he claims are unoriginal, and some really unoriginal nicknames are given a good praise, just because it's fitting. I guess I'm thinking about it too hard... but it would be neat seeing a community driven nickname rating system. But then the Name Rater would be out of a job. XD
-
it was more than one rater and also being a jackass was his shtick. tbh i just got mad when sentret rated mine. i wanted my ass dragged constantly by those feisty raters but sentret was always there to tell me i did an excellent job. i for one am furious.
i wouldnt mind a community driven one but thats been recommended before and i figure the admins have a reason for not picking it. usually their reasoning seems to be "cant be bothered" like no shade but thats generally how i read it.
why not do a thread in forum games for it... like, rate the nickname above you. still community driven i suppose.
-
Seem like it would work, as of recently, I don't think they'll have the NameRater running up again any time soon. Might as well. Plus I do the side of why people like the more critical approach, getting an appraisal from a pretty picky person is like finding a shiny pokemon. XD
-
It looks like the database was updated recently and it's already full again. :( :dry:
-
It's like I have to keep hitting refresh and keep my fingers crossed DX
-
I have made a forum in general pokemon discussion if you're interested.
I await you're nicknames.
