What are some nicknames your characters have given their Pokémon?
Most of mine name their aces, but I just wrote out 14 nicknames for renahv pokemon.
Outside of their actual nicknames Odd's given his team, some other examples are;
Mauve: "Your Majesty", Ms. Daisy, A Chara
Barb: Nibbler, Sweet Tooth
HAL: Magneto, DJ Drone (that has some history to it)
Joseph: Jaws, Fishman
Yggy: Green Giant
Kat: Sealgaire (also used by Odd's dad)
The a bit of a spectrum when it comes to my OCs' nicknames for their pokemon. On one end you have Mary's Gourgeist, that she named Jackie...you can probably guess where she got that name from. And then there are less diegetic picks like Jin's shiny Gyarados Ao Qin, who I named after the crimson dragon king of the south sea, but Jin just named him that because she thought it fit him.
Stahl only nicknamed his Alpha Machamp, 'Atlas'. The great titan in ancient myth condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity. Strong, powerful, weight of the world on his shoulders and a burden that only he could bare? A perfect choice.
As a kid, Avian nicknamed all his pokemon, note he was 10 when he came up with these;
-Charizard is King Flameo because he was 3 at the time and was the coolest thing he could think of.
-Garchomp was Titania because he wanted a name that complimented her strength and resilience and the name sounded like Titanium! He did not realise that he named her after the Fae Queen of 'Midsummer Night's Dream' which is ironic cause she was terrified of fairy types.
-Weavile was Vile Edge. A tryhard edgy name for a tryhard edgy showoff. Big ol Chuuni acts the way he does because he thinks it's cool. Avian did not allow him to discover anime or sasuke uchiha lest be become WEEBvile.
Luxray was Thunders, cause even as a shinx he was self apointed lethal protector and his roar sounded like a crack of thunder.
-Leafeon, the lazy primadonna was Eva. A pretty name for a pretty thing that would rather sunbathe all day and pretend to be dead when asked to battle.
-Bibarel is Bibs. Bibs is as dumb as a pile of rocks, would lose a chess match to said pile of rocks but he is Baby.
I love love this qn lunya AAA
Kingston's initial team: Mercedes, Cooper, Vespa (and i forgot the rest) were named after car brands... and his current ghost team were named after ghibli characters: Calcifer, Sophie, Kohaku, Moro, Eboshi
Ruth's team: Mila, Aquilla, Faelan, Lyall (just naming them what sounds nice)
Mira's team: I have no idea YET, I might name them after classic book characters QWQ
Picking one from each Character I have nicknames done for:
Wily: Type-1 (Type:Null)- Usually shortened to T-1. Wily didn't want his name to basically mean "valueless" and it's a T-1000 reference.
Polly-Gramps(Spiritomb)-Her family 'made' it by assembling the required souls, and the main soul in control is literally one of her ancestors. (A great-great grandfather)
Mahra - Sundae(Alakazam):Because of the spoons and it has a sweet tooth.
