I promise if I go back to that game I'm gonna find the name rater and rename that poor Marowak, he doesn't deserve a crap "joke" nickname like that.
Okay between "Terrence" the Aerodactyl and "Cerbirdus" the Doduo aiming to become a Dodrio, I think my leaf green save has some of the best pun nicknames ever.
Still genuinely upset at myself for the Marowak's name tho. :/ not as in "ugh that's not a very good pun", but more as just it's a pretty lazy, ignorant "joke" no matter what way you look at it. yeah i probably rationalised it back then as "lol monty python bruces' sketch" but.. . still. ugh. bad me. -_-

@Nine ...is it not because Terry Dactyl
Daft pokemon nicknames in my Leaf Green save
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
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.

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" --;

There's a reason I named an Eeveee "Duchovny" but I could not tell you what it is.

Daft pokemon nicknames in my Leaf Green save
why did i name a diglett cambridge... what's the reference here?? I'm sure it's clever but... OHHh right the Cambridge Five. because Diglett is a "Mole". of course.
...aaand I have a Krabby named Ctzn.Snips. after a character in Futurama. of course.
...a Venonat named Eddie? that one I don't get at all.
Ah, and a Kadabra named Lincoln. as in ABRA-ham Lincoln. =w=;;

Daft pokemon nicknames in my Leaf Green save
Okay we're in the book and I have a Sandslash named Segata??... oh god. Segata Sanshiro... Segata SAND-SHIREW. jesus fucking christ.
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. :/

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