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....
>>29202049
pls add the option to rate them as fug/aero-ass
>>29202122
will do, anon
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.
I named my Cloyster Cloy Vey once
>>29202049
For Cubone:
Batman
Bonerang/Boneranger
>nicknaming a pokémon
>ever
Pokémon are not pets. Don't bring that weak shit into this.
Splippyfop for Suicune. Reference to the old Crystal guidebook.
An old nickname rater site had someone wanting to name their Kyogre SongOfStorms but it didn't fit. It does now with the new character limit.

I always call my Lucario/Riolus "Cobalt" due to the blue color, and the steel type
>>29202049
Croakndagger for Greninja.
I call Magicarp Kyle or Colby or Corbin or some other retard name. Girls get released because who'd want a female Pokémon??????
>>29202049
Yo, I dig this. My imagination is shit and the name rater is as shitty. Please make this happen, you would be a boss.
Will drop son nicknames later.
Mariguana
the Usual
RK9 for Arcanine
>>29202846
I usually name mine opium actually, I like to think the yellow balls are poppies
Manny Rivera the Litten
Snubbull/Grabull: Bruno
Back when people still didn't really know anything about Gen 2, they thought Snubbull was a Pokegod named Bruno.
>>29202049
i always name my quagsire dickhead. im a horrible person.
>>29202049
I like nicknames that feel like alternate species names.
>Beedrill
Waspear or Thornet
>Sudowoodo
Fauxliage or Falsawood
>Sableye
Gemineye
>Whiscash
Fishure
>Rotom
Voltergeist
>Emboar

Muttstache
>Beartic
Polarbeard
>Greninja
Frogue
>Talonflame
Pyrogrine, Horuscorch, or Bonflyer
>Aegislash
Hexcalibur
>Palossand
Sandghastle
>>29203081
I had a talonflame named Flambusard. It had flame body so I used it for hatching eggs.
>>29202049
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
>>29202617
I've been calling my Lucarios Luca and Rio all this fucking years and you show up with this. What a fucking waste
>>29202049
I'm not sure if you've told anyone you know about this idea, but its really stupid. This app doesnt need to be made. Spend your effort and talent creating something of value.
Where can we follow the progress? This is something I would like
I have a few names I reuse depending on species/type/etc. Autistic? Probably, but it's fun.
Scyther/Scizor is always:
>Lucy or Lucille
Tyrantrum/Haxorus
>Rexaur (T Rex / Dinosaur)
Fighting/Ground/Rock type
>Gerudo
>Larken
>Stane
Ghost/Dark types
>Laplace
>Bella
>Coraline
>Innes
Water Types
>Paleto
>Quentin
>Charlie
Dragon types
>Orion
>Volkoff
>Sirius
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.
>>29203804
An audience of 12 autists does not warrant the execution of such a shitty idea, anon.
>>29203804
This. It's not a stupid idea if people hold at least some interest towards the idea, and there is a clear outline of individuals who are willing to utilize it.
>>29203888
No, theres not. Theres a number of people on /vp/ that want to share their (shitty) nicknames. Nickname threads happen all the time.
>>29203888
Also i'd probably call my Wigglytuff Apple because of my many playthroughs of Mystery Dungeon.
>>29202049
Heidreigon - Muppets
Galvantula - Tarantesla
Volcarona - Mothra
Clawitzer - B.M.C.
>>29202049
why?
>>29203950
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.
>>29204031
fuck, I forgot to post it.
I can see why people don't nickname their pokemon because almost all of these names seem dumb to me.
>female Shieldon line
Shielderella
>Spoink and Grumpig line
Hogoblin
>Growlithe line
Barkules
>Ponyta line
Infericorn

BillBillBill>Forretress

I realise these are all bad.
I very much like these >>29203081
>>29204031
>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.
>>29204235
>Stop wasting your time on this
>Whilst I waste my time telling you to stop
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.
>>29204235
this. thread hidden.
>>29204235
I'm bored. You're acting like I'm spending my life savings on this. Wouldn't bother me if literally zero people used it.
>Trapinch&Vibrava&Flygon
Kalahari for female and Gibson for male, after deserts
>Venipede&Whirlipede&Scolipede
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
Using anything other than Smosh nicknames ???

Malamar - Upsidown
Krookodile - Moxy

Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask enemy. It's cry sounds a lot like Garou's howl.

I think it's a good idea OP. I was searching for a good name for a Duskull just the other day.
>Magikarp - SplishFish
>Sandshrew/Sandslash - Stilgar
I wind up naming a lot of ground pokes after Dune characters, but this is my favorite.
>Vulpix - Kidpix
Kidpix was a fun Paint-esque program way back when. Sounds like Vulpix. No deep meaning or anything.
>Duskull - Santo
Wound up naming my Duskull Santo because his skull reminded me of El Santo's mask.
>>29205378
>Tangela - Fry guy
I'm glad I'm not the only one who named their Tangela this.
>>29202049
DICKS on everything
>>29204059
What kind of tags are you including, or are they user submitted? Are the names going to be added manually or automatically? Are you allowed for comments on the nickname's page?
>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.
Metagross - Mittens
Animation has him picking up his feet awkwardly.
Cloyster - Rockefeller
Looks mischievous and is always hard.
Aggron - Cuddles
Is very fluffy.
