Nicknames

>>26118570
I always name my Arcanines 'Fukani'.

I always nickname my Pokémon with the name of another Pokémon species. My Mewtwo, for example, is called Boldore.

I got pissed off chasing down Moltres in Y so when I finally caught it I named it Richard because it was such a dick to catch.

>Behemoth
>Water type Kraken\Poseidon
>Grass type Weed reference
>Electric type Zeus

I usually just pick the first name that comes to mind that I think sounds cool. For example, doing a Nuzlocke of Blue and my team nicknames are as follows:

Delta the Blastoise
Oracle the Alakazam
Spectre the Haunter
Sheherazad the Ninetales
Fractal the Aerodactyl
Diabeetus the Snorlax

I'm thematic 90% of the time. Mythological monster or heroes, movie/series/anime characters, anything goes.

For example, I named my last team after the Stardust Crusaders JoJo characters :
>Garchomp = Jotaro (main, badass pokemon)
>Venusaur = Joseph (grass type, vine whip thingy)
>Talonflame = Avdol (fire bird)
>Aegislash = Polnareff (sword)
>Rotom-Wash = Kakyoin (oddball and versatile, water tank)
>Azumarill = Iggy (mascot)

I don't nickname my Pokemon because I'm not 9 anymore.

I don't normally nickname but when something dumb comes to me, I might nickname something like my Venusaur is called "Cabbage" and my Porygon2 is called "duck.exe"

>you don't want your pokemon to feel like they really are yours alone
I guess you didn't dress up your character in XY either.

I usually nickname my bro's after cars they remind me of, because I'm a massive petrol-head.
Either that or usually characters from TV shows I'm watching at the time.

>>26118570
I just choose a nickname that fits.
though, i usually name pokemon after my favorite food-dishes.

Adding on to that, on my last BW run I had a theme going of geographic locations they shared traits with, for example Everest the Vanilluxe (for obvious reasons) and Uluru the Crustle (because he's a huge rock)

>>26118570
I got an Aegislash named Narpas and a Lucario named HngKngPhooey, other than that my nicknames are as bland as Yukiko Amagi
