Which do you think suits the nickname of "NomNom" more? Lickitung / Lickilicky or Snorlax?

-Terywj
Both are quite good for that name really with Snorlax's eating habits and Lickatungs huge tongue for stealing snacks =p

But i think Snorlax suits it more but its close

I promptly wasted a ton of time trying to just catch Articuno since I have no particular use for it, and nicknamed it "Popsicle" since it carries the Rash nature.

...and wasted over 30 Dusk Balls trying to catch it.

In the JP versions of Pokemon games, I always find symbols that look like letters and name Pokemon using those.

Very fun :p

"HERA" (random Japanese letters that made it look like HERA) the Heracross, for an uncreative example :p

Edit: Put the letters into a translator. It turns out I used a bunch of Katakana, hence got gibberish. "And Moyahe"

Zapdos: Static (My cousin's idea of a original name)
Furret: Scrit (No idea)

Shoddy

Houndoom: Flesh Fire (Kinda creepy and cheesy)

Very nice Chill. I like quite a bunch there. I can see you put a lot of effort into them. I Nickname every pokemon that I use in battle. I got 2+ boxes of battle pokemon. I'll see if can post them up later. For now I'll just post my Steel pokemon. I'm a self proclaimed Steel Gym Leader. :laugh:
<3 Jasmine

Steelix (Shiny:Gold): Oro (Spanish for Gold)
Metagross (I have 2): Blutonium (The Metagross with Explosion) and Metalex (Metagross without Explosion)
Scarmory: Dyna Blade
Magneton: Magnetzapr
Registeel: Titanium
Scizor: Crimson
Jirachi: Starski
Aggron: Triton
Forretress: Boomer (Explosion >.>)
Mawile: Trixie (Dunno why... probably 'cause my Mawile is female and classified as a "Deceiver" Pokemon in the Pokedex.)

I'm stuck in Generation 3 right now... -.-

I'm TRYING to nickname every single one I have, but that's really difficult.

I did, however, name my Lopunny Chun Li and my Machamp Armstrong. 5 cool points for anyone who knows which one on their first guess.

But when I'm done, I'll have a good... Hoo boy... 200 nicknames or so, I THINK.

I had a Combusten (sp) named Kane, and then I had a Starly named ****er.




Also, did anyone name their started Pokemon after what it would eventually evolve into? For example, I named my Squirtle Blastoise just so I could see the words "Blastoise evolved into a Wartortle."

I think the strangest nickname I ever named one of my pokemon would be Tamagotchi my Gliscor. Honestly I don't really know why I chose that name in the first place but it stuck. But of course, seeing as I name every one of my pokemon, there are most likely other strange names as well.

Also, did anyone name their started Pokemon after what it would eventually evolve into? For example, I named my Squirtle Blastoise just so I could see the words "Blastoise evolved into a Wartortle."
When I was younger and first got Yellow version, I claimed to have named my Gastly 'Gengar' because "I wanted him to feel special since he'll never evolve."

And also, if anyone in my group of friends had a Dragonite on the original Pokemon games, they were obligated to name it Barney.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that's a Machamp?
It is, I'm just illiterate. :bee:

Making nicknames for all of my guys is such a chore sometimes, is there an easy way to make a decent nickname for these things? :laugh: I mean I'm almost out of ideas at this point.

By the looks of it, I've named all of my stuff from the first and fourth generations, and almost all of my stuff from the second generation... I'm completely out of ideas, so I'm just reworking names. xD
