Well, that's the first time in a long time I fucked up the spoiler. Also, for whatever reason, ever since Red/Blue, I always had to have a female Pidgey whenever available and they were always named Henrietta and never evolved them into Pidgeot.

If I do nickname my bros, and I don't always, I generally pick a theme. For Y it was characters from Shakespeare.

Chestnaught = Rosencrantz
Blastoise = Guildenstern
Talonflame = Beatrice
Gardevoir = Ophelia
Yveltal = Yorrick
Tyrantrum = Macduff
Gengar = Banquo

>Vaporeon(M) --> Mercury
>Jolteon(M) --> Jupiter
>Leafeon(F) --> Venus

Fuck Sylveon for ruining the theme.

I also like to name starters after actors/actresses they remind me of:
>Bulbasaur line --> Brando
>Treecko line --> Buscemi

Also, I will fight anyone who disagrees with:
>Troh and Sawk --> Jake and Elwood

Epic, simply epic

Was there any need to mention atheism?
We all fucking know who Dawkins is and it would've made sense if you left it at "biologist because moth"
Adding that he's an atheist brings literally nothing relevant

He was giving a short summary of Richard Dawkins's career, and he does self identify as an athiest activist. It would be no more right to ignore that, than to ignore that scientists in the past have been Catholic priests.

Look, as much as the catholic church has done against free thought and true science, if it weren't for their organization we would not have had quite a bit of knowledge. They were the only people recording anything during the dark ages, and they actually did a fairly good job considering.

I'm no fan of the catholic church, but I'll give credit where it is due.
