Quoted By:
I have various inspirations for my nicknames a lot of the time. Some of the Pokemon I rotated in Sun were:
Dartrix - Orion (the archer)
Jangmo-o - Jaggi (similar physiology + name to the Monster Hunter wyvern of the same name)
Wimpod - Ironsides (named after "Old Ironsides", A.K.A. the USS Constitution, a naval frigate; also contains a lot of the same letters as "isopod" so it pleased my aesthetic sense)
Ribombee - Patootie ("cutie patootie")
Lycanroc Midday - Duster (a character from Mother 3, plus dust goes along with the rock type)
Crabrawler - Fisticuffs (self-explanatory)
Mudbray - Buckaroo (an old word for cowboy, fitting for where you catch it, + donkeys and horses buck)
Salandit - Ahi (Hawaiian word for "fire")
Magnemite - Screwball (self-explanatory)
A-Meowth - Meowzie (after the girl Meowth that Team Rocket's Meowth fell in love with in its backstory)
Slowpoke - Sloaf (slow + loaf + oaf)
A-Rattata (shiny) - Berry (the color is reminiscent of berries)
And currently I'm still thinking of a name for this Minior I just caught, and will need names for Mimikyu and A-Vulpix later down the line.
