My top six are Hindenburg the Drifblim (with Explosion), Barbarella the Durant, Friend the Magnezone, Anita the Krookodile, Missingno. the Porygon-Z, and DINO-MIGHT the Tyrantrum, but I think Barbarella is at the top of the list.

Do any of you guys have your own personal rule for nicknames? Like for example, if I give a Pokemon with multiple heads a nickname it has to have a part for each individual head. So my Hydreigon is named Joe Jack Jim, and my Vanilluxe is Celci/Faren.

I can never use the same name twice in a given game, even if I'm not going to use the first owner of a name. Pokemon are not interchangeable! They are individuals. I just remembered that when I first played Blue I just named every pokemon its species, so the name wouldn't change when it evolved.

In Heart Gold, I made it a point to name every pokemon I caught after a different pantheon based on original generation. Led to Athena the Noctowl, Ouroboros the Dragonite (made more sense when she was a Dratini), and Artemis the Meganium.

I broke that rule only once, because I wanted to name my Red Gyarados Scylla.

Also I have two different pairs of Lati@s named Castor and Pollux. Both Latios are Castor, and both Latias are Pollux. Didn't even intend to do that.

Is that freedom rock? Well turn it up!
I usually go for a team theme when naming my dudes (Kaijus, Transformers, Steven Universe, Food items, etc) or if it's going in the PC forever either bad puns or commentary. Such as NottooHard the Dialga in a Fast Ball and "...really?" the Binacle. I've named every Geodude Wigger going back to Blue and don't remember why.

And a trade fodder Scatterbug from my brother called STUNKPELT. It's gone back forth so many times in the last few years between us. :allears:

literally every single player at worlds generated their pokemon. not a single one of them use legit bred or captured mons. verlisify only started hopping on the hacking thing when his channel started dying, hes also insanely terrible at the game yet claims that he has won a ton of tournaments w/ no proof of having won any of them (he bought a trophy off amazon and shows it on his channel from time to time as a "vgc trophy")
