Nicknames for pokemon

I'm a big fan of giving nicknames for pokemon. I would like to hear your nicknames

The last pokemon I nicknamed, was my Wobberjacky (Wobbuffet Jabberwocky)

My Blastoise is named "Squirtle".
My Charizard is named "Charmander".
and etc..

I called my Electrode "deepballs", but that was years ago lol.

I don't really name certain pokemon after a certain joke, I name them like this:
>Catch a pokemon
>Open Steam/Skype
>"Who was I talking to/playing games with recently..."
>Name get

So far, my notable aces have been:
Anon the Pidgeotto
Mahboi the Arbok
Spaghett the Lanturn
Joshy the Talonflame

I play with Nuzlock rules (meaning if a pokemon dies, its dead forever), so its actually really sad when an ace dies...
And I don't throw around the "ace" tittle; they earned it.

I can't fit "Larrys Fiesta Party on The House" into the all spaces. With that I have trouble finding names.

The last time I used a nickname was in my first playthrough of Crystal. Then I stopped.

Last Pokemon I nicknamed was the female Pikachu I caught playing Pokemon X.

I named her "Sachiko", after the antagonist of Corpse Party, mainly because they share the same voice actress.

I name them real-world names that tend to correlate with the pokemon in someway.
Charles the Char(mander)(meleon)(izard)
Richard the Pikachu/Raichu
Balboa the Geodude/Graveler/ Golem
Allen the Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam

So on and so forth... I'm boring sorry

My current party on Emerald is as follows:

Blaziken, Shack; a reference to the Shamo chicken which it's apparently based on.
Shiny Loudred/Exploud, Whisper; because delicious irony.
Gardevoir, Angela; since this particular one is female and Gardevoir's based on a Guardian Angel (among other things), I thought it was fitting.
Lairon, Hevee'metul; because it's a rhino made of metal.
Vibrava, Dragonfly; pretty obvious one this one.
Lombre, Lilly; it's female and it has a lilly pad on its head.


Generally my nicknames will be a reference to what they're based on or other external references. For example:

• Pidgeys I will always nickname Strawberry, because of that one NPC in Violet City in Pokemon GSC who owns a Pidgey with the same nickname. Plus I like strawberries.

• Xatu I name Totem, because it's based on a totem pole

• Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu will always be named Sparky

• Groudon is named Rog; before Ruby and Sapphire was released, I saw prerelease gameplay images R/S, and one of them was Groudon in battle with the same nickname. To keep up the theme, I also nickname Kyogre Reg and Rayquaza Ray.

• Geodude/Graveler/Golem, Derek. A G/S/C Pokemon Handbook I used to own had screenies of someone who used a Geodude/Graveler with that nickname.

• Tentacool/Tentacruel, Testacruel

. Self explanatory.

• Raikou is always named Raiju, Entei named Vincent and Suicune Aurora, its pokedex species.

Sometimes I might even get lazy and just use a piece of their names;

• Eeveelutions: Flareon Flare, Jolteon Jolt, Vaporeon Vapour, Umbreon Umbra, Espeon Esper and Eevee EV. The same would also apply to the newer ones if I'd bothered to get them on the newer games; Leafeon Leaf, Glaceon Glacius and Sylveon Sylph

• Legendary Birds: Articuno Uno, Zapdos Dos and Moltres Tres

• Hitmons: Hitmonchan Chan, Hitmonlee Lee, Hitmontop Top

I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Last Pokemon I nicknamed was a female Pinsir I sent out on Wonder Trade...It was named Circumciser...I was so pleased with myself at the time :)

I give nicknames to all my pokémon, except if they're just trade fodder.

Blaziken - KFC (Kung-Fu Chicken)
Machamp - Hulk Hogan
Gigalith - Bulwark
Cofagrigus - Ramses
Emboar - MISTER PIG
Magneton - The Matrix (of Leadership, for those not in-tune with Transformers).
Chandelure - Hestia
Golduck - Dude
Graveler - Rock'nRoll
Entei - Bastard
Raikou - Bastard
Suicune - Bastard
Pikachu - Thor
Ludicolo - Hombre
Bibarel - EH
Krookodile - Irwin


I can be terribly uncreative in these things.

I usually name them after games characters.

Sylveon - Pleinair
Venasaur - Rozalin
Lucario - Adelle
Arcanine - Fenfen
Crobat - Valzy
Delphox - Raspberyl

I know both myself and my friend have a habit of naming (or trying to) name most of our pokemon as LoL characters. Usually ends up with mixed results.
Geodude = Malphite
Nine-Tailes = Ahri
Rattata = Teemo

Here's a few that I've been using since the first and second gen games.

Raze = Cyndaquil
Nikola = Pikachu (it's fairly obvious why)
Darwin = Eevee (again, obvious)
Gene = Lickitung (see above)
Mary = Mareep (after the nursery rhyme)

Emboar = Zhu Ba Jie
Infernape = Sun Wu Kong

Everything else, I just match the first letter of their final evolution and I try to associate the first name that comes to mind which is gender applicable.

Squirtle - Shellshock (The first Pokemon movie, I remember the girl who owned the Blastoise, nicknamed it Shellshocker, and throughout most of the series, Shellshock was the only thing that could fit as a nickname.)

Lugia - Aero (Because of the move he has, Aero Blast)

A lot of the other nicknames are pretty self-explanatory (e.g. Pidgot - Sky, Froakie - Jutsu, Eevee - Evo, etc.)

Mine is from Indonesian language...

Greninja -> Koddo' (from the word Kodok, it means frog)
Delphox -> Rubbakh (from the word Rubah, it means Fox)
Chesnaught -> Qeqar (from the work Kekar, it means strong)


Some are form english language. Yveltal -> Legacy. Mewtwo -> Legaia (I miss the game Legend of Legaia).

Kanghashkan = Big Mama.

I'd rather name Noctowl or Hoothoot Big Mama.

My Pokemon all get stupid Shakespeare names. I'm that guy.
