Me and my roommate arent on speaking terms rn because they recently caught a rotom and left me in charge of naming it and I named it Tumblr.com and now they’re pissed at me because I was supposed to give it a “normal” name
tell them to....rename it??? it's not like you can't change a pokemon's name? this is an odd thing to get into so bad of an argument about that you aren't talking to each other. it might be time to look for a new roommate. and possible a new home for that poor rotom if they're going to get that mad about a silly name for an admittedly very silly pokemon.

You know, I've never really liked that the player character is the usually the only one in the entire country to even consider naming their Pokemon. Let's fix that!
Tumblr media
Gordon- Named after Gordon Ramsay, of course! Arven seems like he'd watch a lot of cooking shows, after all.
Mignonette- A popular French sauce served with shellfish. Arven's got a bit of a dark sense of humor like that.
Red Hot- Obviously, peppers are pretty hot! It's also two words to reference the two heads- I like to imagine their individual names are literally "Red" and "Hot." Plus, it's a cheeky musical reference, which I love making. :P
Shiitake- Not much to say here.
Saltine- Yeah same.
Buddy- He calls Mabosstiff "Buddy" a ton in the story, and it's exactly what a little kid would name his first pet. If I could choose a SINGLE Pokemon to officially name in-game, it would be this one. It would hold so much meaning, come on James Freak!!!
Tumblr media
Scorpio- Distant, cold and aloof. As a bonus, "Scorpio" references Umbreon's long-lost poison typing that no one online ever shuts up about.
Aquarius- Easy going, strong and a bit eccentric. You need to have a strong character to not beat the shit out of Vaporeon copypasta spammers.
Gemini- Quick thinking, social and spontaneous. Normal cats are crazy enough at 4am, imagine a cat imbued with the power of lightning...
Leo- Fearless, protective and a natural leader. Perfect fit for a fierce and physical Pokemon like Flareon! Plus, it's kinda almost like a lion!
Virgo- Practical, intelligent and "down-to-earth." Nails the chill, graceful yet powerful form of Leafeon.
Cassiopeia- Said to represent the queen, sitting on her throne. Penny claims she doesn't play favorites, but, let's be real here- the living trans pride flag is her favorite. I like to imagine "Cassiopeia" was her first chosen name when she came out, but then reeled it back to something a bit easier to pronounce and spell. The struggle...
Tumblr media
Alright this one doesn't get a list of explanations for obvious reasons. I was really struggling to figure out what kind of nicknames Nemona would give her Pokemon. Seriously, I was pondering flowers and foods, maybe battle items or strategies? But when I thought about Nemona as a person, as a battler, as a trainer and as a lover of Pokemon...
She's totally that person who gives her Pokemon silly nicknames that don't fit at all once they evolve.
Ortho, Goober, Duncie, Ruffles, Mimo and Quackers. It's perfect.
Tumblr media
Hate me all you want for skimping out on these, you know I'm right.
Que-tea, Kokomo (told you,) and Rowley. :P

Tumblr media
Any phobe comments on this will be deleted, and phobe reblogs will be reported and blocked. This includes anyone who goes “I’m pro-LGB without the T”, because there are no excuses for any kind of hate and exclusion, no matter how narrowed down it is.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon headcanon: Names.
So remember in Rescue Team where your partner laughs at your name because it sounds funny? I can imagine that the reason why they reacted that way is because human names are basically nonexistent in the PMD world. Mons either have a nickname that goes with their species/typing (like, say, Chomp the Totodile or Curse the Gastly), or they don't have a nickname at all and go by species name.
That's why in all my playthroughs of all PMD games, I always name my human characters a regular sounding name for a human and my partners something like Needle for a Chespin.

What’s the silliest Pokémon name you’ve ever seen, either in a shelter or owned by a human?
i've already mentioned costco and bongwater, the two slowpoke that a friend of mine in galar owns.
still, probably the most interesting was a ninetales whose registered nickname was the entire ingredient list for his family's banana bread recipe. he's lived through several generations, so his name is meant to reflect the legacy that gets passed down as the children inherit him from their parents...very silly but also very sweet. they called him nana for short.

I had the stupid idea of trying to recreate Team Rainbow Rocket by making a team in Violet. There was no Sharpedo for Archie, so I had to settle with Swampert.

Ghetsis also has max Special Attack and Speed

Do you nickname your pokemon? I always have trouble coming up with good ones. I like to do it but I feel like mine suck so idk :/
Oh yeah, I'm horrible at nicknaming. Like, it's something I always want to do because I feel like it adds personality and flavor to my adventure, and it could be seen as a symbol of bonding with my pokemon. But I'm such a perfectionist and most of the time I want my nicknames to be both clever and "lore friendly." Example - one of the most common nicknames for Ninetales is Mozilla. Which is a good one! But it doesn't make much sense in-universe, does it? In the end, I just call my Ninetales "Summer" or "Winter" depending on which version it is - and "Solstice" is my plan if I should ever get myself a shiny.
Take it from me, don't let yourself get weighed down in all this. Learn from me and my mistakes, good anon. Because I do this sort of thing all the time in games. Do you know how long I spent designing my character in the opening menu screens of Violet? Way too long. (Partially because I was just marveling at all the options available, but still.) I am cripplingly indecisive about things that literally don't even matter. I actually designed a consistent Pokemon OC for all my adventures rather than invent one for every new game, purely for the sake of simplicity. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
But a nickname can be fun. Here's an example. I head-canon my OC as catching the Lapras in Union Cave (one of my all time favorite Pokemon) and nicknaming them "Friday." Because, y'know, you can only catch that Pokemon on Friday. Similarly, I'm a major Espeon fan and I've always called my Espeon "Ruby" for the little ruby in their forehead - doubles as a reference to the Crystal Beasts in Yugioh, but it's still lore friendly, see? These nicknames are simple, but I like them. You can't always come up with something worthy of genius points. (Though I'm still quite proud of "Hopscorch" the Scorbunny.")
Here's a fun game, if anyone wants to play. Reblog this post with nicknames you're most proud of and the pokemon they went to. Plus a story about that pokemon if you have one!
