Nicknames!

[PurplePurrloin]

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

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 

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 

[Wolstenholme]

My team (to be) have a Mythological Gods theme.

Heliolisk - Ra
Hydreigon - Iris
Typhlosion - Vulcan
Skarmory - Alecto
Alakazam - Odin
Dragalge - Mars

[Meowstic Royalty]

Alakazam - Houdini
Hydreigon - I eat babies
Scrafty - Zeke
Chesnaught - Bombshell
Gengar - Oh crap he (Oh crap he used Shadow Ball! Yay for joke names.)
Garchomp - Reaper

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

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

[Mew King]

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...)

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Robin - Delphox

I like this nickname xD

I haven't nicknamed many this time, but I have:
Sinestro - Blaziken
Grayson - Talonflame
Kal-El - Lucario
Hal - Venusaur
Bruce - Noivern
Joker - Sableye
Fyrefly - Charizard
Zod - Ditto
Lex - Metagross

[Clairefable]

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...

[SaRo|Rapidash]

I have more now:

Fabian - Wigglytuff
Antonio - Clefable
Napoleon - Grumpig
Flynn - Garchomp (Flynn Rider xD)
Quinn - Tyranitar
Sparkles - Salamence

And I will have
Glimmer - Dragonite

[Captain Jigglypuff]

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

[the bread dragon]

my nicknames are bloody awful, like leonardo the squirtle (NINJA TURTLE REFERENCE WOOO)...

[OfficerJenny]

that's what I was going to name mine.... but I chose SpinDr instead.

[Mew King]

my nicknames are bloody awful, like leonardo the squirtle (NINJA TURTLE REFERENCE WOOO)...

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...

[SirBlaziken]

On Ruby, I have this:

Blaziken - Knuckles

You had better get the reference.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

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