Q the technician ambipom. You get it? Q, technician? LOLOLOLOL(James Bond reference)

[Pansy :]]

i named my luxray river, here's my logic,
Shinx= Great shphinx in egypt = Cleopatra queen of egypt = river song because she dressed up as cleopatra once in doctor who, therefor my luxray's name is river.

I always have to nickname my Pokemon. I try to come up with original names so I don't get bored with a Pokemon or regret naming it that down the road. Heres some of my nicknames:

Vulpix - Mo (Short for Mozilla cause Vulpix is a FIREFOX ) (not too original)
Kingler - ChokltRain
Shiny Nosepass - Jikkenteki
Beautifly - Flutlicht
Zangoose - LooseGoose
Shiny Camerupt - Baba Gnohm
Ursaring - Boone
Snorlax - Tick Tank
Flareon - Cheshire
Seaking - DestroyKoi
Raichu - Dormouse
Mudkip - GanjaDwarf
Blastoise - MockTurtle
Drapion - Lepidus
Shiny Gliscor - Agnelli
Shiny Milotic - Siren
Shiny Gyarados - Dr. Shakulu
Shiny Dustox - Lysander
Shiny Starmie - Maza
Shiny Lapras - Caravel
Shiny Togepi - Henesys

[yeminied]

Previously I commented on how I made a theme of nicknaming my Pokémon of the letters of the Greek alphabet.

Well on HeartGold I've come up with another one. My character is the girl named Autumn. Silver's name is Winton and my Pokémon so far have the nicknames:

Swing the Bellsprout
Fall the Zubat
Snowy the Drowzee
Summer the Vulpix

The inspiration just came to me, I'm really hoping I can get a good one for Black and White.

[TurtwigFan1]

Whatever comes to me (usually hilariously rubbish and unoriginal ones that I like) - ones I can remember off the top of my head:
Turty the Torterra
Starro the Staraptor
Psyka the Gardevoir
Volte the Electivire
Flayme the Magmortar

Basically, my nicknames suck x-)

[PKMN Trainer Rex]

My nicknames are blah too. I had....
Terra the Torterra (cuz it was female)
Ace the Staraptor
Blade the Gallade
& Shokks the Luxray

[EscapeRope]

I nicknamed my Hydreigon (or however it is spelled) Divasaur, because it is female and its kind of a dinosaur.

[AwesomeSauce117]

Turk the Torterra
George the Infernape
Chilas the Frosslas
Batman the Crobat
Noob tube the Floatzel
Electron the Magnezone

Yeah, not my best nicknames.

[TheSuperZekrom]

Flare the Charizard
Wet the Feraligatr
Blade the Gallade
HornShield the Rhyperior
CutX the Electivire
Seeroom the Breloom

[Totokip]

I usually name my pokes with some relevance to the pokes, or at least their names.
For example, in my latest playthrough of platinum, I had a Gible named pedigree. the reasoning behind this is gible sounds like kible, dog food basically, and Pedigree is a company that makes dog food.
I also have a Serperior named Grassilisk(Somewhat creative on my part)
But the cream of the crop for me was my nicknames for Dialga, Palkia, And Giratina. Dialga's being TimeReach, Palkia's being SpaceGrasp, and Giratina being DeathStorm.
I also have a Hydreigon named R.E.U.D.(A cookie to anyone who knows what that abreviates)

[Hermitt]

I find fun to nick name Pokemons
Kistune - Ninetails
Rule 34 - Lopunny or Gardevoir
Squiggly - Gyrardos
Lady Luck - Absol
I tend to try and make some relationship between the name and pokemon

[Breeder Drew]

I usually just name them after songs. Except for ones I really like.

Shuppet- Veil
Lucario- Auramaster
Roserade- Razorblade
Pikachu- Uberchu
Swellow- Airborne

[Dark Sharpedo]

Well, I dont mind my Nicknames that much.
Shiny Whimiscott - Lil' *****
Snorlax - Big Fatty
Sharpedo - Jaws
Male Roserade - IzzaDude
Thundurus - BoomShackaStorm

[Gandro]

I've always wished that I could get into the habit of nicknaming my Pokemon. I feel that you develop a bond with them when you do so. However, I'm not like that. I'd ditch my starter in a heartbeat if its offspring had better stats.

[skinny spartan]

I get into naming my pokemon with the names in the pokemon adventure manga.

[Farfan]

I nicknamed a female Slowbro: Slowsis.

[kiwi-kauri-kid]

I normally nickname my Pokemon (unless I'm doing a mono-Pokemon challenge or catching useless Pokemon to trade with my friend).
Pokemon that I want to use for a team, such as my starter, I'll put a lot of thought into their nickname, where as other Pokemon tend to be nicknamed after, say, what's on tv at the time or something (so, while watching a cooking show I end up with Pokemon named Chicken, Pork, Cayenne, etc).
As I am often half-watching tv while I'm playing Pokemon or half-asleep, then I'll normally combine words I hear around me, or make something up.
I pretty much play with words, really.
