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.

Minverva is such an awesome name, Crystal. And Milkweed along with Xena were my favorites.


I never said what I named my Pokemon for Black. :O


My cool Jellicent is named Shakespear. Yeah, there needs to be an "e" at the end, but it didn't fit. =/ Luckily, it still sounds the same.
My faint-hearted Archeops is named Chrome. Taken from the word "chromatic."
My aesthetic-changing Sawsbuck is named Na-Tsu. A reference to a favorite anime of mine and it also means "summer" in Japanese, I believe, which fits with Sawsbuck!
My ice cream cone, Slick. :D
My eel, with legs, Elektross, is named Gamma. A reference to that favorite anime series of mine, as well. And it fits since he's an electric type.
And finally my awesome Emboar, Osiris. God of the afterlife! Also, Oscar...Osiris.
