Pokemon Nicknames: Disney (6)

Working my way through replaying Pokemon Yellow and catching more on Pokemon Go (thank you, Explorer Gadget), I have Pokemon on my mind (when don’t I?) so I have another round of fun Disney nicknames for your Pokemon (fun for me at least). Here we go with another handful:

Dedenne as Gus Gus

Nickit as Nick Wilde

Tepig as Pua

Purugly as Machiavelli

Tirtouga as Squirt

Quaxly as Donald

Diglett as Mole

Mantine as Tala

Pokemon Nicknames: Animorphs

Russell and I are about two-thirds of the way through the Animorphs series. It's been an exciting ride and I've been keeping notes on more than just our reading--I've been keeping notes on some ideas for more Pokemon nicknames. Technically speaking I suppose you could name any iconic morph based on the Animorphs (Jake for dog, Rachel for elephant, etc.) but I tried to make these nicknames go beyond morphs (for the most part).

Ursaring as Rachel

Arcanine as Homer

Purrloin as Fluffer

Skuntank as Cassie

Garchomp as Dak Hamee

Wailord as Aftran

Houndoom as Champ

Rapidash as Max

Arbok as Spawn

Pokemon Nicknames: Marvel

A few weeks ago, my daughters were watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends (a great cheesy way to introduce kids to classic superheroes). I’m minding my own business and sn adorable and unfamiliar character appeared: Jeff the Shark. I had to look up the character and see if there was a comic book basis for the cute land fish. The resemblance to Gible is uncanny so immediately went into Pokemon Go and nicknamed my Garchomp “Jeff”. Naturally that led me to more Marvel-inspired nicknames—lots of them based off heroic pets. So here are some of my first favorites:

Trevenant as Groot

Ariados as Man-Spider

Golduck as Howard

Obstagoon as Rocket

(Shiny) Growlithe as Lucky

Gallade as Dr. Strange

Tyrunt as Old Lace

Granbull as Lockjaw

Gible as Jeff

Rhyperior as Rhino

Pokemon Nicknames: The Kane Chronicles

Imagine if, instead of magicians, the House of Life was filled with Pokemon trainers. Picture Carter and Sadie coming to fight Apophis with Pokeballs instead of wands. I’m pretty sure I said on the podcast that The Kane Chronicles wasn’t my favorite. However, with how excited I was to finish reading Demigods and Magicians, I think I liked it more than I realized. Finishing up the Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles crossover made me extra excited about this Riordanverse/Pokemon crossover blog post. 

Giratina as Apophis

Totodile as Ammit

 

Meowscarada as Bast

Fearow as Freak

Blaziken as Carter

Houndoom as Walt

Piplup as Felix

Passimian as Khufu

Alolan as Muffin

Krookodile as Philip

Pokemon Nicknames: Disney (5)

I thought I had finished doing Disney-themed Pokemon nicknames (at least through the generations I was familiar with) but while watching Disney movies with my daughters, I thought of plenty more--we're pretty much always watching a Disney movie. I felt like I had too many new ones to fit in another blog post, so here's a sampling of the new nicknames I came up with. 

Vaporeon as Ariel

Mankey as Spot

Talonflame as Maui

Morpeko as Hamsterviel

Krabby as Sebastian

Kricketune as Jiminy

Torchic as Hei Hei

Psyduck as Ducky Momo

Spheal as Gerald

Venonat as PT Flea
