Title: Good Pokemon nicknames?
Post by: Barry B. Benson on May 26, 2017, 22:01: Thought of any good Pokemon Nicknames? Post 'em here!
My personal favorites (some are my own creations):
Hanzo- a character from Overwatch (Decidueye)
Abrakadabra- Abra+Kadabra=Alakazam (Alakazam)
Falco- from Star Fox (Talonflame OR Staraptor)
MGM- Metro-Goldwyn Mayer (Solgaleo)
Pile of Crap- what this Pokemon is (Zubat)
Potential- because when it evolves, or in Wishiwashi's case, schools, you're gonna see some trouble! (Magikarp, Feebas, OR Wishiwashi)

Everyone knows who Robin Hood is...

This thread is almost redundant considering we already have a name rater for this but that's such a tired discussion so I'm just gonna put something forward that I couldn't exactly submit to the name rater as I don't have a specific Pokemon for the name.
Anyway while I was playing HeartGold today I found that in the nickname box you have just enough letters to name your Pokemon SensualKen...

I stole that from this tweet by Bob Mortimer:

I mean, I was joking about the sophisticated part... but fair enough, I did write that post at 2am after a tiring shift, so maybe my brain wasnt working well enough to make that clear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wrote mine at 5am after a very tiring shift so maybe my brain wasn't working well to get the joke 😂😂

Post by: Combrando on June 12, 2017, 22:00: I got a few ones that I thought of for my favorite Pokemon, and just some random other names I came up with. I'll try to explain them if I can
Decidueye: Nightstalker (reference to Destiny. It is one of the Hunter subclasses that shoots a Bow and Arrow, and Decidueye's design reminded me of my Hunter Guardian from Destiny)
Chesnaught: Guardian (Despite me just talking about Guardians in Destiny, this is not a reference to Destiny. This is a reference to Halo 5: Guardians, and the fact that Chesnaught uses Spiky Shield.)
Jumpluff: Fluffberry (Fluff is obvious. Berry because his body looks like a blueberry to me)
Magnezone: Xalax (Xalax is the name of the planet in Lego Racers 2, and Magnezone looks and sounds like a UFO)
Cloyster: Exuberant (Reference to Halo 5: Guardians. I'm a huge Halo fan, Cloyster's round shape with a little ball in the middle reminds me of the Monitors from Halo. Exuberant is short for 031 Exuberant Witness.)
Exeggcute: Order 66 (If you don't get this reference, then you've been living under a rock. Or you've just never seen Star Wars Episode III because everyone says the prequels suck. Also because it's a terrible pun.)
Heliolisk: Sanghelios (Another reference to Halo, this time it is the homeworld of the Elites.)
Shiny Heliolisk: Band Camp (Shiny Heliolisk looks sunburnt. The Band Nerds will know what I'm talking about.)
Magneton: Trinity
Chatot: Fortweetsimo (Terrible pun. I apologize.)
Jangmo-o: Jangmo Fett (Another terrible pun. I apologize.)
Gyarados: Garyados (You know what? I'm not going to feel sorry for these puns. I'm proud of them.)
Omastar: Homestar (Reference to Homestar Runner)
Klefki: Keyzer (Reference to Wario Land 4, and the little key ghost you have to find in each level)
Lickylicky: IckyVicky (V-I-C-K-Y. The sound of her name makes the little kids cry.)
Doduo: Terry&Terri (Reference to Monsters University)

I know this was a lot, but I don't care.

Post by: Captain Jigglypuff on June 12, 2017, 22:12: I have four more:

Reverse names for Alolan variants.
