>>33652697I named my Blaziken Cpt. Falcon because I missed the memo that he's actually a cockfighting chicken
I named my Sceptile P.TreeMcGee (short for Pine Tree McGee) because I thought it was funny
I named my Emboar Boarser because it sounded vaguely like Bowser, and Emboar reminded me of Bowser kind of (I'd recently played Inside Story)
I named my Serperior Smugleaf because I am a slave to my memes
I named my Chesnaut Jericho because it was the bro-est name I could think of, and I'm also a sucker for biblical imagery (Great walls of Jericho, Chesnaut is large, imposing, and practically a tank)
I named my Torterra George after Lonesome George because my underage-ass thought that was the name of the turtle that carried the world on his back in some Native American myths
A year or so later when I learned about the real Lonesome George in a National Geographic Kids book, it only became more approproate to me.
And I named my Decidudeye Oakley after Annie Oakley because I thought it was clever
