[ToedAndTrue]

If only there was enough room to nickname my Simisear 'Nitrox 3 1/2'. Oh well, 'Nitrox 3.5' will work.

[Billy Mays]

I named my initial Black team after Chrono Trigger characters.

Trainer name: Crono
Serperior: Magus
Audino: Marle
Excadrill: Robo
Swoobat: Lucca
Simipour: Frog (Should have gotten a seismitoad, but I had a ground type already and I already had Panpour :/ )
Zoroark: Ayla

[Taury]

I named my Stoutland "Oates", because in my fanfiction, my Stoutland like has a serious love for oatmeal cookies, and what dog doesn't like some bread or cookie-based based something?

I usually don't name my starters, but I broke tradition in gen five and gave/will gave them names-

Tepig (White version) I named Coals since it fits the fire theme and sounds cool to say, also the name of my Tepig in my fanfiction (Written mostly for my private amusement, it'll need work before I can share it)

Oshawott (Don't have one I want to keep yet) but his name will be Wiley, since he'll be on the naughty, yet truly nice side.

Snivy's name will be "Shuri", since it sounds samurai like and that's how I picture my Snivy, but I'll have to breed one.

I named my Krokorok "Ace" since that name has a cool sound to it without being overly dark about it.

I named my Stantler from Soul Silver Jingle, since again in my fanfiction, there's a Stantler who has a fondness for bells, not related to Christmas or the Winter Solstice in any way, though.

When I get an Axew for my White game I'll name it "Crusher" since once it evolves to Fraxure, it'll better live up to the name.

Flygon- Wind Melody
Reason: 'The wings are flapped at a fast speed so that they create a melody, the desert spirit'

[Trainer Frankie]

Yunowun my dewott. Any guesses on it's name's origin?

Geyser my simisear since he's Ol' Reliable in taking care of both my favorite types' weaknesses; water's grass and psychic's bug.

Chip my watchog. Started as my cut pokemon, but while going through the game he collected the effort values I wasn't looking to aquire with the pokemon on my team (since I ev trained while going through the game), so now he's part of the team.

Psidekic, my psychic sidekick.

Terri my stoutland. Not a hard name to figure out.

And finally Max my shiny elgyem. Named Max because I finally found him during a shiny hunt in another thread while watching Flight Of The Navigator (which is fitting since he's an alien). Max was the name of ship.

[Violent Red]

I nickname every Pokemon I use.

My current team:

Zoroark: Oliver cause I imagine him to be cheeky and naughty, so I named him after Oliver Twist 'Can I have some more, sir?' Tut tut

Eelektross(f): Cecilia - it was almost Cynthia. Then it wasn't.
Cloyster(f): Cassandra - no real reason!

Help would be appreciated! Thanks

[BOMBS]

well, i just finished the main storyline of pokemon black, so i feel like i should share my team with everyone. they arent the most conventional pokemon, but they got me through the elite four. that has to count for something, right?


RADAR - every since i played black a year ago, ive always loved watchogs. they are way more attractive than stoutlands and not as frail as liepards. i named him based on the name of his species: the lookout pokemon.

PEACHES - firstly, i wanted to name her toadette. but then i decided to switch to to toadstool. then princess. and finally peaches. it just seemed to fit more than any of the other names.

SONORA - since you can only catch dwebbles at the desert resort, i wanted her name to reflect that. so i named her after the sonoran desert. i imagine if crustles and dwebbles were to inhabit the real world, that is where they would flourish.

KACHINA - i caught sigilyph while i was searching for dwebble and originally i wanted to name them something that could reflect that. i had planned on naming her serengeti, but it looked odd and didnt seem to suit her. so i opted for a more simpler name.

TURNER - named after the designer who created the vanilluxe line, james turner. hes also one of the only boys on the team, along with radar.

ROSE - i had named her barbara, but it looked awkward and screamed old lady. so i changed it.

[Willy.lee]

I named my staraptor and bravery brave and named zebstrika wild horse and luxray shock dog

[Jhzaeth]

My friend and I decided to run through the game together. We both like naming themes when we run through the storyline; so this time I suggested the 7 deadly sins (him) vs the 7 glorious virtues (me). The english names were boring, so I used a mixture of Latin and Japanese translations (according to google translate, apologies if it's offensively wrong):

Caritas, meaning charity in Latin.
Venia, a Latin synonym of Caritas.
Pietas, meaning kindness in Latin. He is a knight so I thought pietas/piety would be appropriate.
Seirei, meaning Diligence in Japanese. Definitely harder to train her up!
Almitas, again kndness, in Latin.
Iridis, the only exception. I didn't expect him to be in my final team, but he pleasantly surprised me.

[TheSirPeras]

Should I call my Excadrill, Drillmon or Excalibur?

[Ballistic Buizel]

I named my Serperior Sherlock. Because if you watch the show Sherlock (the new show where Sherlock Holmes is set in modern times) he would totally be a Serperior. It's wonderful XD
