The number of Poseidons and Thors I've faced is unreal. At least name them after prophets or obscure deities like Zoroaster or Bai-Ulgan

I have a tendency of just nicknaming my pokemon after the things they're based on in my native language.
So right now I'm running an emboar called Svin.

I hope that was just a typo and you haven't mispelled all your nicknames when it should be feuer instead of feur.
Also, feuer sounds nearly identically in German to how you pronounce fire in English.
