Thread: Stupidest nickname you ever gave to a Pokemon

I have lots but they aren't appropriate for this site.

Everytime I catch a male Geodude/Onix/Roggenrola, I call it 'Rocky'. Everytime I catch a female Geodude/Onix/Roggenrola, I call it 'Roxie'. A Machoke called 'Macho' also comes to mind. None of my nicknames are extremely inventive. I had a Scraggy called 'scrag' once, an Unfezant called 'Tweet', and a Piplup called 'Pip'. But the best was when I was catching Unown, and I'd give them a name beginning with their letter. So behold - Alice, Beatrice, Carl, Dave, Emma, Fred, Georgina, Henry, Innes, James, Kris, Lois, Marty, Niamh, Olivia, Penelope, Queenie, Ross, Samuel, Tammi, Ursula, Valerie, William, Xan and Zoe. Seriously. I don't know what I was thinking. Penelope? Beatrice? And Queenie? Even worse, I named three of them after my friends!

Well, I had a male Gardevoir once, so I couldn´t resist call him James because of the crossdressing running gag.
Then I had the urge call female Absol Jessie and was dissapointet, that Absol and Gardevoir are not in the same egg group.
And my Machoke ended nicknamed as Giovanni, probably I was influenced by Meowth´s fantasies.

But I really can´t give Pokémon sane names, so I rather try to avoid give them any nicknames.

I named a my SoulSilver starter, a Cyndaquil "Dandee". That's unforgivable, especially when you note that the poor little thing kept that name until level 48.

I wasn't in my right mind, maybe?

My Pansear lost to Cheren's Servine when Pansear was 5 levels above it. Only match in Black I lost, and his name is now "Shithead."

Otherwise, my main Pokemon all have ridiculous names, such as:
Samurott: Rotter
Haxorus: L3G1T Hax
Hydreigon: Heidi
Archeops: Archie
Bisharp: Chesster

Lol, reminds me of Steven from HGSS. He trades you a Beldum with Iron as its name.

Anyways, I named my Palkia "Pearldra". Yes, very unoriginal indeed. I also nicknamed two Cottonees "Cacao" and "Cocoa". I named my female Gardevoir "Lady Night".

I once called my piplup "pimplup"

Last night I named my female patrat: SmartyMan and my Lillipup The One.
Sorry, it was The One not The Man.

Heart Gold: I named my female Geodude "Rocky".=/

Was I Mad? The Togepi just came back to haunt me....

All the Pokémon I caught in Gen V have/had stupid nicknames.

Samurott- Ott/Epek Otter/Rapan
Braviary- Brave/Vectis
Excadrill- Exer/Anturengan (Don't ask)
Hydreigon- Destroiah/Dratron

...Yeah. Sucktacular, right? =P

Chu-a-kip for a Pikachu

My starter! Bulby the Bulbasaur from Red, reborn in Firered as Dotty (I'm sorry but Bulby's bad even for 5 year old me)...

I named a Pidgey, Wings. Not too bad, but very unoriginal and plain.

For a while, I would always nickname my Snorlax 'Waffles'.

When I was young and naive, I had a penchant for giving most of my Pokémon in Red/Blue very simple nicknames consisting of part of the Pokémon's name and ending in -y. Thus Spearow became Speary, Ditto became Ditty, Haunter became Haunty, Kabutops was Topsy, et cetera.

This worked fine until I caught a Rhyhorn, and the poor creature was henceforth stuck with the glorious name "Horny". It wasn't until a few years later that I realised what I must've put him through.

Nowadays I try to come up with clever nicknames that pertain to the Pokémon. My favourite so far was Magneton, whom I called HAL-9000.
