Pic related and Toxicroak.
>Nicknames
Male Sandslash are usually named after some sharp implement ripped out of Diablo II like Dirk. Rondell, Voulge, etc. Females end up nicknamed either Brisby after the Secret of NIMH character or with more feminine-sounding names along the theme of the above (Kris, Stiletto, etc).
I can never think of a good name for Toxicroak. Sometimes I name males things like Rash, Zit, Pimple or Wart (after the Battletoads and SMB2 final boss respectively), but those get a bit gross sometimes. Females I got nothing good for, but Roxie is a serviceable name for them.
>How did you first encounter them?
I loved Sandshrew ever since the episode of the anime with AJ and his badass, waterproof, top-percentage Sandshrew. I remember vividly finally encountering one in Union Cave in Crystal version and I was ecstatic; little Andy was my best bro for that entire run along with my starter.
>What do you think of at least TWO other posters ITT?
Chandelure anon has good taste in Pokemon but is a heathen for not nicknaming his bros. Also, I see you around a lot Lysandre, and while I think your tripfagging is dangerous and out of control I never end up minding very much because you at least make an attempt at sparking interesting discussion like this on a board devoid of much non-General activity.
