I namef my Hisuian Zoroark after Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I have two teams, one for Scarlet and one for Violet, so I'll do both.

Chip-dip - Fuecoco's design reminds me of salsa

Cella - Vaporeon is very smooth, reminds me of chocolate, Cella's chocolate is my favorite candy

Crumble - the CUTEST little Clodsdire. Like a chocolate crumble, or an earthquake.

(I don't remember any other names for my Scarlet team, I'll write more here when I do)

Snapdragon - a plant, perfect name for a Meowscarada

Biscotti - The first pastry that came to mind, and Daschbun is just the cutest little dough dog thing. Reminiscent of the common dog name, Biscuit

Smoggy - I had just realized that Garchomp was a ground type, and thought of a thin cloud of dust and rubble from a Pokemon using the move Dig

Mo - Short, sweet, spunky, just like a fire type that's the fastest member of my team. She's a Talonflame, by the way.

Coffee - Black, like Umbreon.

Phoenix - Electricity is glowy like a Phoenix, and I catch a Raichu and name it Phoenix in as many playthroughs as possible, so it's like he rises from the ashes.

And here are some miscellaneous names I've given Pokemon that aren't on my current team :

Mosaic - A great name for a graffiti themed Pokemon, because a mosaic is just legal graffiti. I love Grafaiai, I wish it were a better pokemon.

Belle - A shiny Ninetales from PLA, I named her after snowbells, the flower. Since it LOOKS Alolan.

Sasha - a Ninetales with a fairy Tera type

^ your nicknames are so cute! Coffee is super clever for umbreon

okay uhh I haven’t played a mainline game in a while but I remember three nicknames from my last team

Rayovac(vikavolt)—grubbin looks like a battery

Baconator(centiskorch)—looks like bacon lol

Nerd Emoji(orbeetle)—blipblug’s face

✨ Sparkles the Meowscarada. Shiny and from BERRY❤CHAN! (Meaning its hacked sadly TnT) Protein

✨ Birby :3 the Noivern. Bird typing lol. Frisk

✨ Salamence the Roaring Moon. self explanatory. No explanation needed

✨ Pink Power the Pawmo soon to be Pawmot. Again self explanatory. Volt Absorb

✨ Fesh :3 the Droopy Tatsugiri. He is a Fish. Storm Drain

✨ Silly :3 the Salazzle. In shocking contrast to what it's said to be. Corrosion

Why is Everest and YGSNBOTONOAT hurt?

Mine:

1. Skippy the Cinderace- I named it after my first switch (which was in 2022)

2. Apollo the Zamazenta- Named after the Greek god of prophecy

3. Ryu the Urshifu/Single Strike- Named it after a Street Fighter character.

4. Serendipity the Blissey- Named it because half of it's Pokédex entries state that it gives eggs to people that are sad.

5. Carlos the Hitmonchan- No idea. It was Tyler before since I watched Total Drama.

6. Blossom the Leafeon- You can already guess.
