When you nickname Pokemon, do you try to give them names like Geoffrey or names like something that you think sounds better? I remember a thread a while ago with a shitload of creative alternative nicknames.

I give my pokemon mostly non-sensical names or inside jokes that only me and my imaginary friends will get.

I pick an obscure character name from an anime or book I like.

My last team in Y were named after side characters from HunterXHunter.

I like to name Pokemon after their inspiration (for example Thundurus-I --> Raijin)

I also use greek gods, Godzilla monsters and mythologic beasts

I name my Pokemon after various things in other video games, from spells and attacks, or characters, and so on. They usually fit the Pokemon in some way.

I give them names related to the species or some sort like that. Each game usually I give themed nicknames. My 'mons on Y have greek letter names.

Also only realizing now I should have named Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza Leviathan/Behemoth/Ziz.

I'm a history major and name my Pokemon after historical stuff if I like it as a word, I have a Lanturn and Galvantula called Glasnost and Perestroika.
Because who doesn't love Soviet politics?!

Vladimir would make a good name though, would lend to Putin and Lenin.

Quoted By:

I try to have them sound like proper names or something that you could comfortably use to refer to a living thing. Nothing too close to nouns or phrases, usually nonsensical but backed by a thin trail of reasoning.

>Nicknaming Alakazam
>It's name has to do with magic, good start
>Head looks like a pentagram, something ritualistic
>Pic related
>End up naming it "Cosby"

I didn't even notice the "pokeyman" there when the image popped into my head, but that just makes it even more perfect.

>“Vauban” is the perfect nickname for Starmie
>can't come up with any complementing names
Perhaps I should just name each of them individually instead of following a theme.

I got really upset when I changed one of the pokemon on my Platinum team out for a different one and the new one didn't fit my theme. Had to renickname them all except Misdreavus, who I'd traded over and was stuck with the nickname Luna.

It worked out fine, ended up using a theme of "slightly more obscure Roman deities."
