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.

Man, you mentioned the name Q and that reminded me... I always name my Unown after the letter they represent. (And I always catch every darn Unown variation there is because I am weird like that.)

I also nickname every pokemon I catch/hatch. I just didn't want to inundate everyone with a list of over 600 names. (And those are only the ones I have currently, if I still had some of my old files from way back when, there'd be more.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I also did a similar thing with hatching Eevees, though I was actually trying to hatch a female one, not a shiny. (I've found there's a higher chance if you breed your female eevee with a ditto... but even then it's not 100%.) I don't even want to go into all the nicknames in that box... there are just too many. >.>
