I've come to the conclusion that there are basically four types of Pokemon nicknames:
>Leviathan the Lapras
Overwrought references to popular TV or animes or really commonly recognized mythology are, and I don't use this phrase lightly, trying to hard. It's okay if you're going for a theme team, but it's got to be appropriate to the Pokemon, too, and half the time it just isn't impressive or clever. Yawn/10
>Woopie the Quagsire
Derivative names are generally in the ballpark of six year olds. Once in a while a really clever pun can come up, but for the most part they're dumb in a pleasantly goofy sort of way. What-the-fuck-ever/10
>Robert the Golduck
If you're naming Pokemon after people you know IRL, that's one thing, but if you're looking at like a Starly and saying "yeah, this guy looks like a Joshua" then I don't even know/10
>Ballsack the Jolteon
Flying by the seat of your pants and just shitting out the first thing that comes to mind is generally fun, but it can be pretty hard to be original here. The filters aren't helping much, either. Welcome to 4chan/10
