AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Themes? PFFFFFT. I just name the first thing to pop into my head after seeing its Pokédex. Example: Aipom: Aipom's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the Cockfighting Society uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy. Name: Klutzface. Simple. As. That.
Or I make it a reference. Typole > Music Tadpole > Tadpole Treble > Baton. (A truckload of internets if you know what that is...)
Or I just name it something dumb. Geodude: Gee, oh DUDE.
Now I wanna make a list of my best names... later.

I name all my mons after Fire Emblem characters.

Volke/Nuzleaf
Gatrie/Marshtomp
Cherche/Masquerain
Nailah/Mightyena

Nailah was named Garug for a little while because I didn't notice she was a female when I caught her.

My nicknames usually are created in the same way as OshaliteX2's. Whatever comes to mind based on the pokédex entry, species name or looks of the thing.

Who doesn't know what a baton is after the Wind Waker? I have enough internets though, thank you very much.

My Delcatty is Delicious, Parasec is a Shroomcrab, Lanturn is Rhllor (shame on me for forgetting the apostrophe), uuuhm. What else do I have?
Aggron is Metalhead, Alakazam is Patrick (Jane, not Shane), Honchcrow is Blackbeard even though the beard is white. Camerupt is Malboro 'cause it's a camel.
That's my team. Shroomcrab replaces Patrick most of the time as it has False Swipe and I'd been catching up on some monsters.

When I do Nuzlockes, I name the Mons after forum members.

Speaking of which, I never did a Y-locke and now I'm playing ⍺-Sapphire. Anyone interested in another forum Nuzlocke run?

We already have a FireRed Wedlocke and I wanted to do a Randomlocke of an older game

THIS TOWN AIN'T BIG ENOUGH FER THE THREE OF US

I was here first, get your own forum.

Maybe I will! I'll start my own forum, with blackjack and hookers!

I name my pokemon normal names that start with the same letter as their pokemon name.

Unrelated: I've been on the fence about Mega Evolution as a whole, but Mega Metagross has made me a believer.

I meant Tadpole Treble. Not the Baton Part...

And Shroomcrab sounds hilarious.

Shhh I'm covering up the fact that I have no idea what that is

You aren't expected to know unless you're familiar with Matthew Taranto, creator of Brawl in the Family

He's now an official indie developer AND approved by Nintendo, and his game Tadpole Treble, starring a Tadpole named Baton, is coming to Steam and the Wii U eShop sometime in 2015

In short:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ITS A GAME WITH A TADPOLE IN IT GET IT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HahhahahAHAhaHAhahahahA!!
HAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!

Yeah I could do better in the names department.

Due to the complete lack of interest, I'll get started on that Y-nuzlocke soon.

Vote on my starter.
