Or otherwise, how I nickname them!

Oh yes, I am very bored (on a Pokemon break, waiting for someone to wake up, don't feel like going anywhere) and I thought I'd share. Because I'm bored.

I usually pick things out of the name, or occasionally a name that references something I really like. (Like, with Audino, I had five in the last game and named them: Audi, Ausum, Audina, Ausi, Auvina). In White I wanted to name my Snivy "Snivylicious" but that sadly didn't fit, but a close friend came up with "Sylvanus" and he's been rocking that since.

But anyway, here's what I named my party (I name all my Pokemon) :B

- Lucario - Mio (Wanted to name him Rio, but thought that would get old after he evolved :B )

- Jolteon - Shiki (Favorite Pokemon gets a name related to my favorite person)

- Magnetite - Mave (Why, idk)

- Elekid (Not currently in party) - Eleziel (like Ezekiel, but not)

- Sigilyph - Sigyl (obvious inspiration is obvious)

- Genesect (Can't name him D: )

- Dewott - Poseidon (Stole friend mention's above name scheme for a minute here... he usually is the one to reference gods/goddesses of ancient mythology and pagan faiths << >>)

- Growlithe - Rowlie =D

I usually pick names I think sound cute/adorable. Or are bad puns. Occasionally I'll throw in one of substance, like a god's name here, or name a Pokemon after someone important (usually my favorite pokemon get those names :B )

As a note, right now I'm up to the Electric Gym. =D highest level Pokemon is Poseidon at 29 *almost 30*
