Daft pokemon nicknames in my Leaf Green save
Oh dear, I just looked at the ones I'm travelling around with -_-;
I called my Raichu "Duracell" (brand of batteries)
I also have a male vulpix I named Clooney. Presumably after George Clooney who voiced Fantastic Mr Fox in the film by the same name based on the Roald Dahl book by the same name. . because I am creative(ly bankrupt)

Oh I also have, of course, a Snorlax, named Totoro. because really there's no other name for a Snorlax honestly.

I of course have a Paras who I named Shiitake. Though I have a male Drowzee I've named Franz. I'm... sure that's a reference to a psychologist or something, or something to do with dreams and hypnosis.
My male Hitmonchan is Balrog of course after the SF2 character (named M.Bison in japan of course but I am not japanese)
I apparently got the Kabuto in this one rather than PRAISING HELIX, so I named him Nobunaga.
...aaand I named my Grimer "Enron" --;

I named my Lapras "Yermak" for some reason. hm. .. Ohhh right, it's an Icebreaker ship. because Lapras is good for learning Surf or something.
I do have a Gyarados named "Mr Fish" after the same character from Kelly Turnbull's "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" comics.
very disappointed I have a Marowak I called Bruce though :| That was lazy of me.

There was nothing good in my Heart Gold save. I didn't get that creative with the names. ^^;
I wonder if I named my Eevee Duchovny because "David Duchovn-Eevee"??... or "Fox Mulder" because Eevees are kinda foxlike... Probably anyway. Not an especially good nickname at any rate.
I think the Dragonair is named Freya because it means "Lady" in old norse I guess? It's a pretty name nonetheless.
Wondering why I didn't call my Gyarados "Jormungundr" tho
Daft pokemon nicknames in my Leaf Green save
@Nine Freya sounds like a good name for a dragonair, but I couldn't place why either.

@Nine Don't worry about the voltorb one. There's an electric-type gym leader named Wattson!

Oh nice! I have a Haunter I named Hopkirk, as in "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)", an old (somewhat silly) detective series where a detective and the ghost of his dead partner solve crimes together.
I have a Draognair I named Freya but I can't think why. :/
