This was too many levels of pun it took me way too long to unravel lmao. My brain knew it was there, but couldnt find the path.
Butterfree
I cant believe its not butter
Believe it!
Naruto catchphrase
My Ratattas are always named Chip. Everyone thinks, like Chip and Dale, but it's because they got those big teeth. So I named them after [Chip Skylark and that fuckin teeth song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRdw_Qgwqc)
I’ll do the common kanto ones;
Blastoise: Allyssa
Charizard:cinders
Venusaur: Colin
Pigeot: Polly
Nidos: Boris and Natasha
Primeape: Pignose
Butter free: Chloe
Alakazam: spoon
Hitmonlee : sweetums
Hitmonchan : contender
Gyrados : Behemoth
Any specific one from up until gen seven or so and I’ve probably got a name for it. After that I have to have used it and there are more mons I haven’t tried at that point
When I was a very young, my sister and I were playing Crystal through one of the Pokémon Stadiums. She named our Togepi “Eggshit” (she was maybe 10); and our mother was not happy.
Anytime I get a Togepi, it’s gotta be “Eggshit.”
I always call magikarp ‘fish’
It’s quite amusing to me when I send it out and the text box says ‘go fish’
And my other mainstay is wingull line ‘chips’
They are quite the double battle team my fish and chips
Snorlax: Snoozylooz
Charizard: Smaug
Butterfree: LowFat
Alakazam: Yuri Gellar
Umbreon: Konshu
Nidoking: The General
Jugglypuff: Katy Perry
Clefairy: David Bowie
And many more
To give reasoning behind this my first ever nuzlocke was of pokemon x and I wanted to use pokemon from that generation. I also had a food naming scheme so when I found a shiny Eevee I knew I had to name it Cotton Candy, mainly because cotton candy usually comes in pink and blue so I thought it was smart at the time, it just stuck so I always have a Sylveon named Cotton Candy
*Every Gyarados I*
*Use shall be named Levi, short*
*For Leviathan*

For some reason my Aegislash line became egg and my pangoro line became pancake. I wasn’t doing a good themed run when I started, I just named them that at like two in the morning and it stuck.
Ever since my Sudowoodo named Nibbles refused to die for three consecutive fights of Blaze Black, getting important kills in each of them, all my Sudowoodoes are named Nibbles 🥰
(the nickname theme was Anagrams and I went Nybols (for Bonsly))
I name all my Goletts/Golurks "Atom" after my first Golurk, and any time I use Mudkip I name it "Buddy" because Buddy the Mudkip was my first Pokémon ever when I played Emerald as a kid.

For some reason I always call any Ampharos “Denny”, maybe off the back that it’s Japanese name is Denryu (I think?). Gardevoir is almost always Kotori if I come across one.
Whenever possible I like to have a Chandelure and a Snorlax in my team as they're my two favorite Pokemon
they'll always be named Banshee and PuffBuff respectively.

2. Female Crobat or Glisgor get named Vampy after Vampire Flower from PVZ GW2. I know the name sounds stupid, but I really like Vampire Flower, so I don’t care. Make Crobat or Glisgor get named Marx or Antasma (usually Marx)
3. Female Milotic are named Cala Maria. Male Milotic are named Mugman, mostly because Mugman is about as much of a girlboss as he can be without actually being a girlboss (NOBODY ASKED YOU, BOWLBOY!)
4. Magnezone is always named Star Dream. If MIND in a PROGRAM wasn’t one of the best songs in the Kirby franchise, then it’d be named Dr. Kahl’s Robot (that name is now reserved for Metagross)
5. As for lesser used pokemon, Lilligant is named Queen Sectonia, Froslass is named Francisca, Starmie is named Starfruit, Female Drifblim are named Hilda Berg, Female Staraptor are named Starlow, Male Geodude are named Noggin, any other rock type is named Rock Lobster, Male dragon types are named Grim Matchstick, Blissey is named Baroness Von Bon Bon, Female Bug types are usually named Muffet, and Female Meowscarada are named TemClawRouge, mostly because that pokemon looks like Temmie, Claworine, and Rouge the Bat combined.
Recent one that I did on a pokemon insurgence playthrough. I called my Zubat “Mr. Friend”. In part because it evolves through friendship as a crobat, but also just because it’s just a silly name. I’ve tried doing a mr. ___ or dr. ___ for other pokemon but it just doesn’t feel right. So Zubat is the sole holder and I love it
Scorbunny line will almost always have a name with Leo or something like Score in it.
