You know, I'd like to see a pokemon Illuminati.
(Not in real life of course, that would just be creepy!)

Why not name it something totally awesome, like Adramelech or Belial?

trotted out? are you hanging around some other pokemon field where people actually use good names?

for reference, I think 75% of the poke-players here don't actually use nick-names.

I use nicknames for mons I actually intend to use. Mostly name them after historical or mythological figures.

I tend to name mine after terms in geology, biology, or (occasionally, yes) mythology. I nickname the first of each pokemon I catch. This doesn't seem very common, though.

I like to name mine after mythological figures as well, such as greek gods and Arthurian knights.  And then sometimes I just name them random crap when I just can't think of anything.  Like, when I chain, I give them all names, and after about 3 I am totally out of ideas.  Ex: I named several shiny ralts after fruits because I was sooooooo bored.

My Infernape is named Borel, after the inventor of the Infinite Monkey Theorem. Every Marill I catch is named Pikablu.

Back in the day, we had a theory that Pokemon were put on Earth by aliens to prevent global war by teaching children about responsibility and conflict resolution. Pokemon as a rule don't murder or wage war.

Isn't Zap Rowsdower also the name of a character in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
