I just do like in JJBA and name my mons after bands or musicians. My Swanna in Black 2 was called Surfinbird for example

I used to nickname my pokemon exclusively the first thing around me I notice.

>>24735702
I always reset to get a female fire starter then named her Blazie.

well defining a planet is about as difficult as defining a continent
like why is asia a continent but russia isn't? what are the parameters?
it's terminology that exists more so we can neatly categorize things, not because it has any logic behind it
>>24737946
The moon isn't a planet. It's a satellite.
Space has very defined boundaries for how things fit into other things.

>>24737995
Good for you. At least you nickname them.
I usually pick certain characteristics of the mon (at least two), search a translation of said words in different language for each one and fuse those, if they sound good.
Lately I've been just picking up historic figures that seem to fit or just random names, though.Yes, I fucked up not checking the gender of Piplup first, sue me.

That's why even the people who do space things for a living can't agree on Pluto right?

I nicknamed my Klefki "Nice Car"
I think the nickname I'm most irrationally proud of is naming my male Snivy "Vincent". I like nicknaming all my Pokemon, but it has to be some kind of clever reference or pun while also sounding like an actual name. I think way too hard about it.
>nicknaming your Swirlix Sugar
>>24738083
This is exactly the kind of crap I would pull. It's foreign, therefore it's a meaningful name, according to my brain.
>Sparky
>>24738083
>I usually pick certain characteristics of the mon (at least two), search a translation of said words in different language for each one and fuse those, if they sound good.
This man gets it.
I always ask my significant other to nickname my mons but it's always stupid names like "Ears" the Whismur or "Flaps" the Swablu.

>>24741891
>inkling
>>24737911
If I did this I would end up with a lot of Pokemon named "3DS".
Usually I spend a lot of time finding just the right nickname. It has to do with the Pokémon, where it comes from, what it means to me or any attributes it has. In my current AS playthrough, I have:
Richter, the Marshtomp (comes from the earthquake Richter scale)
Markarian, the Metang (named after a supermassive black hole)
Dude, the Vigoroth (seems chill)
Mauer, the Aron (wall in German)
I dunno, I just like them. Post more nicknames.

I've only done the generic "Blaze" Charmander nickname once. It was when I was meming with my friend and named the the three starters in Yellow marijuana related things.
Charmander
>Blaze
Bulbasaur
>Ganja
Squirtle
>Bongwater
>>24743489
>three starters in Yellow
>>24743489
Hilarious and epic my friend
>>24743516
Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are the starters you can choose from in Red, Green and Blue. You can only get one in those games without trading, glitching or cheating. You can legitimately get all three in Yellow without trading.
Three starter Pokemon=three starters
I know that they aren't actually "starters" but they're starter Pokemon
>>24741874
Something like that. I just like the feeling of them representing something different than usual. Kinda makes it easier to give them a "personality" of how things go on.
>>24741885
Do you also do that kind of stuff, anon? What names have you given to your mons?
>>24743308
Of course. Best servant in Zero.
>>24743715
Why's your Chandelure named Giov
>>24743720
Some historic shit I don't really remember linked to chandeliers. It has been months since I played the games.
>>24743715
>Best servant in Zero.
My nigga.
Truer words have never been spoken.
>>24735702
Back in gen 1 when I was 8 or so I used to nickname my Pokemon with names of other Pokes. Like, I remember having Lapras named Pidgey. The fuck I've been through when trying to get something from the PC and forgot which Poke was named what.
>>24743378

>>24737953
Are planets not satellites of stars?
Since I was young, I named my Pokemon in Blue after Greek gods.
I named my Crystal team after gemstones, which in retrospect wasn't very creative.
I named my Emerald team after famous painters.
I named my Platinum team after classical composers.
I named my White team after jazz musicians.
I named my X team after French writers.
>>24745994

>>24750548
Damn so funny, where did you learn that?
>>24750604
I need those names for Emerald, Platinum, White and X.I see we played the same four games.
I always go for puns or if I can't think of any I just go for someshit that sounds like GF would name a legendary
Onix- My cock
Jolteon- AA-battery
Diglett- Niglett
Crobat- BroBat
>>24750763
Emerald:
>Dali
>Rembrandt
>Lautrec
>Goya
>Pollack
Platinum:
>Satie
>Chopin
>Dvorak
>Vivaldi
>Debussy
>Gershwin
White:
>Miles
>Django
>Thelonious
>Dolphy
>Sunra
>Mingus
X:
>Voltaire
>Baudelaire
>Rimbaud
>Dumas
>Proudhon
>Camus (technically Algerian but definitely French)
>>24750907
Thank you.
Those are some top-tier nicknames. And as a Frenchman, I can most definitely say that you have really good taste regarding our writers.
And Camus was indeed French since Algeria was part of France by that time.Well, except maybe for that anarchic socialist Proudhon, but that's just my opinion. For God's sake, I remember reading extracts from his works back in junior high school, it was boring as hell.

This. I barely trade anymore because of the stupid names people give their Pokemon.
>>24735702
Since we are r8ing I guess I better post my pokemon White team since that had the best nicknames I made in my opinion.
>Smugleaf (I think you can guess what pokemon this was.)
>Steed the Scolipede (Rhymed with Scolipede, it seemed like a horse centipede.)
>Eterisk the Chandelure (Ethereal in Swedish)
>Detroit the Scrafty (Guess.)
>Casser the Carracosta (Snap in French.)
>Eeliot the Eelektross (This is probably the only one that I regret.)
>Blazer the Blaziken
>Byron the Registeel
>Rocky the Regirock
>Freezie the Regice
>Byrockzie the Regigigas (This was around the time of Pearl. I was in middle school.)
>Legit naming Shellos Gastrodon and thinking I was clever
My names have actually gotten more meaningful over time, like naming Kangaskhan Kala (Tarzan's mom), and I try to give them all some sort of name.
Current AS team and nicknames.
Sceptile - Vinnie (after the Littlest Pet Shop gecko)
Crawdaunt - Ganimes (after that crawfish kaiju)
Gardevoir - Demetra (after the greek goddess)
Manectric - Sirius (after the star)
The other two have names only Italians can get. And I'm sure I'm the only one who gets my Camerupt's name.
>nicknaming your klefki anything but Boo-Boo Keys
I name mine after the Greek gods. I have Athena the gardevoir, Poseidon the empoleon, Hermes the sylveon, Hera the heracross, dolos the zororark, ect.
>>24735738
I name mine Snaptrap.
My autism allows me to shamelessly name many of my pokemon after anime characters.
I name all of my swablus Donald Trump and wondertrade them off after making sure they all know Hyper Voice.
>>24735702
>blaze
>not flamer
My nicknames are generally the first thing that pops into my head. As a result, most of them are weird and/or lame. For example, here's my bro-team:
>Luxray named Sparx
The X makes it cooler because 11 year old me
>Scyther named Guile
Actually not named after the street fighter character. Short for guillotine, which scyther can't even learn.
>Gardevoir named Yuna
I actually still like this one. FFX was awesome... though I kinda cheated because I looked at what ralts evolved into and named it based on that.
>Lapras named Lassy
This one's likely the most obvious "first thing that came to mind" name
>Zangoose named Mandy
Wanted to give it a relatively masculine name despite being female. Instead of doing the smart thing and giving her a unisex name like Alex or something, I went for the name that had "man" in it. Mandy's such an ugly name but whatever, too used to it now to change it.
>Bisharp named Xzanos
could not think of anything, so I just spammed random letters. At least it's pronounceable... ish.
I always end up naming my regional bird "Silver." and after a nice fellow here bred a pancham for me, I like the name "Chocolate" for pangoro.
Other than that, I might have a few times, but generally don't care enough to. I've got an entire pokedex to fill, fuck trying to name all them.
>>24758954
What a gay homo fag.
>>24750571
Yeah, that's the way you tell the difference. Planets are defined by their orbit around the sun, moons are defined by orbiting planets. So no, under standing definitions, under no interpretation can you call the moon a planet.
>>24737911
I do this on all of my Nuzlocke runs as one of the rules. I'm usually playing it in one of two rooms though, so I have to get creative. I had a Bellsprout in Soul Silver named Softsoap.
>>24759292
Keksimus Maximus.
>>24735702
>>24735732
I named all my fire starters Helios or Apollo
>>24738046

What's wrong with that?
