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 usually make up names on the spot, but occassionally I plan names. I usually name my scythers "Sepia" (I forgot the Goddess' name in AP was "Sephia", but I liked the name and kept catching female scythers)

As for my new pokemon from white: (I tried to nickname quite a few with varying success)

Dewott: Gakupo (I swear only my brother gets the reference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalacry.gif) )
(Shiny!!!) Joltik: N (I'm a N fan and it kinda looks like a blond N, cute and fuzzy.)
Lilipup (now a Herdier): Lili
Pansear: Smokin' (suprisingly thought up by a relative)
Pansage: Hangin' (I want a Panpour that I'll name "Chillin'")
Munna: Feliks (It's male, I adore Hetalia, and there's no "x" in the Polish alphabet)
Tranquill: Franklin (It reminds me of a certain turkey)
Blitzle: Thor
Woobat: Qwerty (look at your keyboard)
Audino: Kokone
Tympole: Timcampy
Throh: Nick
Leavanny: Leif (Erikson)
Petilil: Yuna ("hibiscus")
Sandile: Sandy (lack of inspiration)
Darumaka: Dharma (like that old show)
Tirtouga: Minoru (reference to a character whose voice actor also was Donatello from Ninja Turtles)
Minccino: Mocha
Vanillite: Vanille
Deerling: Shiki ("four seasons")

That's all I got for now. I'm on my way to the 6th gym. See you soon!

Edit: Thor is a Zebstrika now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasmile.gif)
