Ever nickname Pokemon after other fictional characters?

[General_Ridley]

My shiny Metagross is named Voldemort. It was a placeholder until I could come up with something better, but I couldn't think of anything. It's now in my Black 2 file, so I can't even change the name. Oh well.

I've really never been into nicknaming Pokemon much. In fact, Black and White is the first time I gave nicknames to my Pokemon.

My male and female Chandelure pair are named Erik and Fantine respectatively. Erik is the titular character of an original French novel, The Phantom of the Opera, by Gaston LeRoux. Meanwhile, Fantine is the name of the main female character in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. Both books were adapted into musicals, which are two of the longest-running shows in musical theatre.

Then there are Disney characters, such as Bambi the Sawsbuck, Sebastian the Crustle and Lumiere the Litwick.

I also name my in-game peeps after other characters too. My rival in Black 2 is named Damon after the character in The Vampire Diaries.

Oh, I definitely do that. I often name my Pokemon in themes, mostly anime. XD

Currently, my White 2 nickname theme is Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the spinoffs. My favorite Pokemon in my current party is my Audino Charlotte. >w<

Traditionally I name psyducks I capture (not bred ones) after the characters in the show, mostly their English names but sometimes their Japanese names. I think all the twerps except Cilan have been used, as have Jessie and James (English and Japanese). It's fun, and I've kept up the tradition since my first games in RSE. Only my shiny psyduck has a different name, Azul. I also named both my Mewtwos Giovanni.

Otherwise, I don't use character names.

I have several, including Hamlet the Pignite and Yorick the Rampaqrdos (Hamlet), Riddle the Serperior (Harry Potter), Tuyet the Carracosta (Bionicle), and Typhonus the Zekrom (LEGO Universe).
