Do you name your Pokemons?

[malnpudl]

One of my favorite things about the game is getting to name my catches (though I only name the top two or three per type; the rest get Transferred for the candy payoff).

Do you name yours? Do you have a theme? Do they all get names, or only your favorites?

Some of mine are fannish (note that some are shortened because of length limits):
- Zubats are Darla, Angel, and Spike
- Nidorans (female) are TiffnyAching, EsmeWethrwax, and NannyOgg
- Rattatas are DngrousBeans, Darktan, and Peaches
- Pidgey is Pigwidgeon
- Bellsprouts are PomonaSprout and Neville

Others are inspired by their natures or characteristics:
- Clefairies are Caliban and Titania
- Venonats evolve into moth-ish things, so they're named after kinds of moths
- Geodude is RockyBalboa
- Krabby is Krankypants
- Lickitung is Droolgoober
- Horsea is Seabiscuit
- Rhydon is Sherman (after the tank)

What are some of yours?

Yeah, I do the same. My Jolteon is always Static Shock. My Pidgeot is always Angry Bird.

Occasionally it changes? My first Golbat was named AHHHHHH! (because due to having shown the extended meme to someone fairly soon before all I could think about looking at him was "reblog if AHHHHHHH!") but after I got one wayyyy higher "AHHHH!" no longer seemed to work right so now that one's named Marabat (after Mara, the bat-god in the Belgariad-verse >.>), and even if I get a new higher Charmander I'm keeping my starter because I'm sentimental so there'll be another working char-type name, and so on.

But by and large . . . .XD

and I'm so amused: my Fearow is "Rage Bird" because my very first Spearow was "Angry Bird" because that was ALL I COULD THINK when I looked at it. And then before I realized you could transfer I'd ended up with "Annoyed Bird" and "Grumpy Bird" and so on for Pidgeys and thus "Rage Bird" for one of the Spearows.
