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.

Thanks, Oscar! Minerva is one of my more inspired names. =3 I like the name of your Jellicent a lot!
Celia, names from Knights of Round are always fun. I've used a few myself. (Obviously.)

Now, I thought I'd share my names from Black and White! Quite a few of these were pre-planned, but there are some spur of the moment ones, too. <3 Lots of references in these names. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
