Nicknames!
« on: November 17, 2013, 20:45 »
What nicknames have you given your Pokemon? I'm planning out my team right now and I'm going with a music theme!

Talonflame - Rouge (male)
Comes from the Loveable Rogues, who I am a big fan of ;D

Mawile - Lorde (female)
Mawile is a fairy, but I have a feeling that she is a bit evil as well, which is the impression I get from Lorde. I have a feeling she's got a darker side which sometimes shows in her music.

Malamar - Nizlopi (male)
Malamar is an awesome Pokemon, but the typing is a bit strange. I wanted a name that reflected that in some way, and Nizlopi sounds equally cool and weird.

Blastoise - Bastille (male)
Bastille kind of sounds like Blastoise and I think it suits it. The 'stille' part reminds me of cannons for some reason too  :o

Gogoat - Lilygreen (male)
I listen to a lot of Lilygreen and Maguire and Lilygreen is my favourite singer from the duo. Lilygreen also suits Gogoat as it is a Grass type.

Mamoswine - McBusted
Okay, so I'm actually so excited that McFly and Busted are getting together, so I couldn't resist not naming one of my Pokemon McBusted! Mamoswine is a massive Pokemon, and McFly and Busted were both MASSIVE back in their day, so it just seems to fit  ^.^
Woohoo :P

I nickname /everything/. This game does not have a theme, although I may have to have a game with egypt as a theme... or an eventual team. My current team, however is:

Winnie - Crobat (A standard name on any of my teams)
Gary - Venusaur
Blaziken (because event. Boooo)
Skye - Lapras
Robin - Delphox
Lucy - Granbull
-~-
Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

This is my second time I did a theme team.  The first time was in Black.  I nicknamed everyone off of Mega Man characters in that game.

This time it was Fire Emblem Awakening characters!

Greninja - Lon'qu (the closest thing to a ninja in both Pokemon and Fire Emblem)
Pidgeot - Stahl (Average flying type named after a character that was described by another as "Totally Average in all ways")
Raichu - Mariabelle (I caught a female Pikachu and decided to name it after the blonde troubadour since both CAN cast lightning...)
Blastoise - Kellam (Blastoise is a tank.  So is Kellam)
Florges - Sumia (Sumia does all sorts of flower petal fortunes so she gets associated with the Pokemon always holding a flower)
Aegislash - Chrom (Really, I named it after Chrom because they both wield swords in battle and I wanted someone to be named after the main character...)
Gary was here.  Ash is a loser.

I like to nickname everything, even stuff I'll never use.

Like I thought calling Espurr "Mystic Mog" was the funniest thing ever, even though I don't like Espurr at all...

My nicknames are puns on celebrity names, play on words or phrases, and Egg moves or the forme or color.

I actually made a really crappy TMNT team (mostly because a lot of the guys are strictly NU)

Blastoise - Leonardo
Carracosta - Donatello
Torkoal - Raphael
Torterra - Mikey (too long for Michelangelo)
Raticate - Splinter
Bisharp - Shredder

I think the worst member is obviously Splinter...

 I want to call my Mienfoo "Austerity" but I'm not sure if the name's too long.
