Its more cringey than it is funny
I dont do it anymore
>>26722113
Most of the default names are puns though...
>>26721976
I've been nicknaming every pokemon I plan on using on my current VW2 run after Stands.
So far I have MoodyBlues (Oshawott), The Cure (Audino) and Ebony Devil (Houndour)
>>26722666
those nicknames are terrible
also
>666
>>26721976
Naming creates bond. I spend hours on making/finding up fitting names.
But...I have no imagination !
>>26722715
thats no excuse that just all of them after a theme
i like to name mine after dead people so then i can imagine ive trapped their souls into the pokemon
Rate my nicknames: Woo the quagsire, Hop the Skiploom, Sen the Furret, Ledi the ledian, Su the sudowoodo, Dindo the Quilava.

>>26722865
The number of Poseidons and Thors I've faced is unreal. At least name them after prophets or obscure deities like Zoroaster or Bai-Ulgan
I have a tendency of just nicknaming my pokemon after the things they're based on in my native language.
So right now I'm running an emboar called Svin.
>>26722888
oh, I agree. names like Apollo, Ceres, Laozi, Isis (lol) can work though
>>26722888
Little kids and normies only know the very basic of Greek/Norse mythology anon.

It's probably your first day talking seriously about Pokémon, so I'll let you off not knowing one of the best Pokémon out there.

Songbird the skarmory
Finn the swampert
Nagini the seviper
Odonata the flygon (odonata is the taxinomical whatever above dragonflies)
Annette the Banette
Pascal the keckleon
I don't nickname certain mons like Primeape and Legendaries
>>26722968
>Pluto, Osiris
Too mainstream, try Ereshkigal.
>>26722666
The Cure wasn't a Stand (yet) but I like where you're goin'.I named my Nidoqueen Spice Girl and my Nidoking King Crimson
I only do puns, references, or "noises" (like Bom the Torchic or Beebee the Butterfree). Anyone else do that? I'm kind of running out of ideas.
Replaying through White, rate my names so far

Objective truth.
>>26722028
I purposely do that
I slap words related to them into machine translators or dictionaries until I get something that sounds like a name or could with a little change
>>26721976
I like the Pokémon actual names, a thousands times better.
R8.
>he names his pokemon after a god/star/myth
>>26723446
Fuck you. Star names a best. Algol and Alkaid are god tier nicknames.
I didn't study physics to not be able to name my Pokemans after stars.

>>26723887
I hope that was just a typo and you haven't mispelled all your nicknames when it should be feuer instead of feur.
Also, feuer sounds nearly identically in German to how you pronounce fire in English.

>tfw got a shiny Shuckle named Derple from the GTS

My Kadabra is named Abraxas because its the first thing that popped to my mind when I caught an Abra.
My Gastly is nicknamed Thanatos, and my Togepi is Pax.
Those are the only Pokemon that are actually nicknamed cleverly(?).

Why is this a problem?
>>26723003
what about mictlantecuhtli?
>>26724178
Pax is a great name for a Togepi. It means peace (which fits the theme of the line) and sounds cute.
Good job, anon.

R8 my shitty taste.
>>26721976
I used to give individual nicknames to everything I caught (even repeats) all the way into 4th gen, but it got creatively exhausting after that.
Besides, for the most part, I like the standard namess more anyway.
>>26721976
Reptar - Tyrannitar
King Ghidorah - Hydreigon
Napalman - Magmortar
GigaNiga - Machamp
Donatello - Blastoise

>Not only giving nicknames to shiny pokemon
>>26721976
I only nickname pokemon if I can think of a cute name that isn't gonna be obviously overused (excalibur for honedge, a synonym of fire for fire types, the name of the species/object the pokemon is based on, etc).
>>26724371
Go lurk Norse mythology.
Some names I like are Argus for Regigigas, Bunsen for Typhlosion, and Valence for Zekrom.

I've seen you in every fucking thread. Fuck off faggot.
>>26722012

I found them while searching for 3 days for a female with symmetrical blush spots to name after a friend.
