Hey /vp/,

I'm building an app that lets people post, rate, and favorite nicknames for Pokemon.

I want to make sure it's populated with at least some nicknames before I release it.

So post nicknames. You don't have to, but posting a short description of why that nickname for the pokemon would be neat.

THANKS

Cesar and Rex for Chesnaught and Charizard

Named after a pair of brothers in Generator Rex, because those two were the starters I used in X. Although, in GR, Rex did glock Cesar in the nose at one point, so....

this is a cool idea, anon.

i mainly nickname my cat 'mons since cats are my favorite animal, the ones i can think of off the top of my head are:
a delcatty named duchess (based on the aristocats)
female meowstic named mewsette (based on gay purr-ee)
purugly named ginger (my cats name)

also, i just remembered nicknaming a giratina "killface" (as in frisky dingo) several years back, which is a strange thing to have done as a ten year old girl.

Always naming my Lapras as Lappen

I name my Smeargles after various, usually impressionist artists.

Claude Monet, Toulouse, Morisot, Tamara, Artemisia are a few I've done.

I know it's not very original, but I have fun doing it, and often learn about various artists.
>>
>>29203081
Ahhh I like those. I also had an alternate name for the Honedge line: Claymort. Pronounced just like claymore because mort is French for death
>>
Bless your soul if you're speakin' the truth about the app, OP.

I generally name things based on the first thing that comes to mind. Usually it's dumb, and it always changes per playthrough, but some staples are:

>Shelby
Sandile
>Arthur
Pidgey
>Sunnyside
Togepi
>Pippi
Clefairy

Here's a few for you, OP.

Cubchoo-Booger
Larvitar-Rex
Zebstrika-Lemonade
Noivern-Static
Charizard-Burnout and Rumble
Blastoise-Warts

I have a few names I reuse depending on species/type/etc. Autistic? Probably, but it's fun.

Ducklett - Mr. Neatbird, because it can learn both Fly and Surf so you don't waste a slot, which is pretty neat. Also it's cute.

Yes, this was my entire autistic reasoning when I caught one in X.
>>
>>29203525
I'm not OP, but several people in the thread have expressed interest. I think it's a kinda lame idea too but clearly there is an audience that would use it. I'll end up at least taking a look if its finished.

No, theres not. Theres a number of people on /vp/ that want to share their (shitty) nicknames. Nickname threads happen all the time.

Yes, but it's at least a guaranteed audience. If you say that people make nickname threads all the time, then there is a possibility that this will also be given some interest.
>>
>>29203525
Your opinion matters deeply to me, anon.

It's just a simple web app that works offline.

>>29203616
Eh, it should be done within like the week.

Feedback on the design appreciated. I'm clearly not a designer.

>>29203950
Main thing is that there really isn't an easy place that lists / ranks a lot of nicknames. And nicknamerater is absolute shit.

>there really isn't an easy place that lists / ranks a lot of nicknames

Right. Because there doesnt need to be one. There is no outrage that this place desnt exist, because most people coudlnt care less. If this was something people wanted it would have happened by now, and it hastn. It's a super niche idea that only the most autistic members of /vp/ would use. And at BEST this app will see traffic for a week and then people will forget about it/run out of memes. I'm trying to be a good friend by telling you to save your time and energy because this is a waste.

Maybe youre just bored and have nothing better to do with your skills, and that's okay.

Neat idea OP. Guess I'll contribute.

Chesnaught- Castor, after both the oil and the Greek hero.

Mega Charizard Y- Charcolt, after the old "Pokegods" rumor from gen 1

Trapinch- Doug, it's a good name for a fine young lady

Rayquaza- Glycon, after the snake God.

Dragon type- Gandora, after the key card to a gimmick deck I used to run back when I played Yugioh.

Serperior- Thorne, because plants+also it's an anagram for throne and Serperior is supposed to be regal/Royal.

Jadwiga for female, 'jad' means venom in my language but overall it;s a female name meaning battle or some shit.
>>
>>29202049
so this is cool and stuff but i just wanna make sure about something

please make nicks have a pokemon specific option just like how tf2tags has submissions for names specific to every weapon

named my pikachu from yellow Ritz because his final is Raichu (i wanted to have the first letter of his nick be the first letter of his final and Ritz are pretty good crackers)

Good luck op
I would, but I'm to embarrassed to share my nicknames, but they're mostly named after foods and sweets

>Main thing is that there really isn't an easy place that lists / ranks a lot of nicknames. And nicknamerater is absolute shit.
Hasn't been updated at all since April and I think the site itself is dead, but http://pkmn.net/?action=rater was a fun name rater.
>>
>>29202049
male:
Polaris for Empoleon (the north star), Barqi for Ampharos (I think it means electric light or something like that), Yoru for Umbreon (literally night in japanese), Ryuka for Lucario (translates into the name Lucas which is close to Lucario and there's also Ryu in there, you know, the streetfighter guy), Tiburon for Sharpedo and Garchomp (shark in spanish), Gandelph for Delphox

female:
Lucerne for Luxray (again something with light), Laelia for Meganium (name of a flower, kind of the same shape as the one around its neck), Luna or Yamini (night) for Umbreon

both genders:
Godzilla or Gojira for Tyranitar, Tabasco for Typhlosion, Tank for the entire Squirtle line

That's all I got for now.
