What Do You Name Your Pokemon?, 'Cause I can't find a topic like this already Options

[Crystal Talian]

I was just curious. I always nickname my Pokemon when I play, I like to know what other people name their Pokemon. I also like to know if anyone who plays the games nowadays even bothers (especially people around my age). I couldn't find any topics about this already, so I decided to make my own!

Anyway . . .

Do you name your Pokemon? What do you name them? Why? Any names you really like?

I'll go through a few of my nicknames - I just started some new game files.

I have a charmander named Pepper. I usually name my charmander Firestorm, but this one was a girl so I decided to change things up a bit. I named my chimchar Firestorm instead.

I named my pikachu Jupiter. 'Cause the Roman name for Zeus is Jupiter . . . and he throws lightning bolts!

I totally blanked and ended up calling my mudkip Pisces. Yeah. The fish constellation.

The only other one that comes to mind right now is Artemis, my poochyena. I named it that because it's a dark-type and I associate dark-types with the moon . . . and Artemis is a moon goddess. She's a hunting goddess too, so that works great for poochyena.

I name every new Pokemon I get/hatch. Every time. They basically get named whatever comes to mind or sounds good at the time. As an example, a month or two ago I tried my hand at just hatching a zillion eggs to see how long it'd take me to get a shiny. One box full of Mareeps ended up being named Insanity, Adlez, Buckeye, Lambchop, Griddle, Tim, Puyo, Elli, Nibbles, Ezz, Lime, Rice, Smurf, Q, PeterOlson, Nazz, Pingle, Tweed, Fowlmouth, Siya, Wooly, Mais, Zanzibar, Accountant, Margaret, Kyung Soon, Malcolm, Francis, Lois, and Hal. I'm more or less completely unsure how I got most of those.
