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.

So, I reset my games a while ago, and I've been meaning to share all my new nicknames. I've got a ton, so I'm just gonna do it in small bursts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif) I'll start with my nicknames from FireRed and LeafGreen. By the by, should anybody want me to explain a name in detail, please do ask! I use a lot of references and stuff and I love to talk about nicknames in general. =3
