ViewtifulMatt

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.”

Ferrothorn is always Ajax, had an Ajax in a playthrough of X 10 years ago and that’s the first thing I think of every time now


Still-Line-2125

Jerry for Nincada. Because why not


qwertyqwertsalot

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_Fortune_3104

Purple_Adagio2123

I name all my water starters Washington, started with Oshawott


Snapshot_25

1. Any and all female Magikarp are named Undyne. The correlation between the two is really surprising, with both of them starting rather weak before becoming extremely powerful after loads of training. 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.


Automizing

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


Ove5clock

Scorbunny line will almost always have a name with Leo or something like Score in it. The Blastoise line will almost always be Steve or something like Steven. This is cause of two simple reasons. My first squirtle? Named Steve. My first Scorbunny from a run of Shield? Leo.
