Whenever I catch a new pokémon I spend a long time researching and thinking about what kind of nickname would suit it. Usually I think of something functional and a little punny, but I’m rarely truly proud of the nickname. So I wanted to make a blog to talk about the methodology of nicknaming a pokémon, to help improve my own nicknaming skills, as well as others’!
My goal for this blog is to eventually have a page for every pokémon, with analysis of their original name, a list of good potential nicknames, as well as tips for nicknaming your own pokémon. The pages will also talk about different names for different forms, different genders, and shiny variants.
I’m going to start with Unova pokémon, as I am currently replaying my favourite games in the franchise: Pokémon White and White 2!
