Has anybody else done this? 

Example 1: I was doing an Emerald run awhile back where I named everything after Zelda characters. 

Niko: swampert

Tetra: breloom

Midna: mightyena

Pipit: swellow

Gondo: manectric

Etc, there were others but I don't feel like listing them all.

Example 2: Xenoblade characters on Go.

Soon she'll be promoted from princess to empress...just a little longer...

I freaking love this guy and it makes me sad how little attention he gets in the fandom. After Melia evolves I'll make him run laps for his own evolution.

Got this gal during the squirtle community day! I made sure I caught a female with good CP.

Planned additions: Shulk(lucario), Dunban(gallade). Gen 4 has to be added first of course.

Share your own and stuff!

I named my Sun team after Disney princesses and Disney princess related characters!

Primarina: Arie (because it was male, so it couldn't be Ariel)

Mudsdale: Philippe (Belle's horse)

Lycanroc: Bruno (Cinderella's dog)

Tsareena: Tiana (because she's my favorite princess and I had to name something after her! Tsareena is also kinda related to food which Tiana works with since she owns a restaurant)

Alolan Ninetales: Elsa (obvious lol)

Alolan Marowak: Naveen (because favorite Disney prince. Yeah, I'm in love with the royal frog couple! :P If Lilo & Stitch was a princess movie though, this guy would've been David for sure)

Alolan Raichu: Jaq (one of Cinderella's mouse friends. This one was later replaced though, sorry Jaq!)

I also named a Braviary Ike. :P

As for GO:

Of course I had to name two after my favorite FE knights! Especially Frederick and of course Frederick the Aggron is the strongest I have because. <3

I got a shiny Blastoise during the previous Community Day! Keegan comes from Medal of Honor: Vanguard, a Wii game. He's the character you play as. MoH was the only shooter series I ever played much and it was rather fun.

And a couple special Raichu with pony names! lol I named them after MLP ponies because of their themes. Second anniversary Raichu wears a brown hat like Applejack and party hat Raichu has a party theme and Pinkie Pie is a party pony. :P

I also have a lot of others named after characters from other fandoms, but that'd be a lot of screenshots, so I'll just list the rest.

Aerodactyl: Petrie (from The Land Before Time franchise)
Ninetales: Vixy (from The Fox and the Hound)
Kingler: Dr. Claw (from Inspector Gadget. Also because of Kingler's big claw lol)
Halloween Raichu: Jerry (from Tom and Jerry)
Ariados: May (Spiderman's daughter, who's also named after Spidey's aunt May)
Gengar: Freako (one of the Boo Brothers from Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers)
Sunglasses Blastoise: GI Joe (the GI Joe franchise)
Golduck: Donald (Donald Duck, not Donald Trump lol)
Magmar: Zuko (from Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Clefable: Merryweather (one of the three fairies from Disney's Sleeping Beauty)
Seadra: Azura (FE's Azura)
Arbok: Sir Hiss (from Disney's Robin Hood)
Swellow: Jaqomo (from Thumbelina)
Seaking: Marlin (from Finding Nemo)
Vaporeon: Bubbles (from the Powerpuff Girls, though this Vaporeon is male. I want to name a Leafeon Buttercup and a Sylveon Blossom when those become available and I get them too lol)

And that's all of them right now. :P

In my current Ultra Moon run:

Priscilla [FE7] (Brionne)
Hamilton [Hamilton] (Zubat)
Dorcas [FE7] (Munchlax)

In other runs:

Jack [Samurai Jack] (Samurott) {White}
Tamatoa [Moana] (Krabby) {Ash Gray}
Draug [FE1/3/11/12] (Aron) {Emerald}
Frollo [Disney] (Incineroar) {Moon}
Bruce Wayne [Batman] (Crobat) {Ultra Moon}
Canas [FE7] (Mismagius) {Moon}
Kim Jong-Un [North Korea] (Snorlax) {Moon}

That's all I remember for now. I once hacked the Vanillite line into the Ash Gray hack and had a naming theme of royalty/elites/heirs/whatever:

Jason [Heroes of Olympus] (Pikachu}
Percy [Percy Jackson] (Wartortle)
Roy [FE6] (Charmeleon)
Ivan [Russia] (Bulbasaur)
Aladdin [Disney] (Pidgeotto)
George [Hamilton] (Nidoking)
Gorbachev [Soviet Union] (Vanillish)

I know some aren't fictional characters, but oh well.

  • E. Honda (Hariyama) - from the Street Fighter series of course
  • Kinnikuman (Machamp) - from the manga/anime with the same name
  • KMasters (Blaziken) - see Hariyama
  • Doh (Psyduck) - see The Simpsons (Psyduck reminds me of Homer for some reason)

Once I get a Vanillite in my Ultra Moon run, should I name it Frozone?

Yes that's a perfect name!

Name one of the ultra beasts Syndrome.

Anything with "viol" is censored because it means "rape" in French, IIRC.

I know why the censors refuse it, haha.

It's just annoying that I can't use a name from elsewhere in the game because of that.

Most of my Pokemon are video game themed or after myth stuff. I don't remember most, but here are some.

Two of my Pokemon where called Hanbei. Roserade because he reminded me of the white haired, mask wearing Hanbei and Meowstick since the Samurai Warriors Hanbei is a fan of cats.

I called my Alolan Raticate Profiteur since it reminded me of a certain fat, rat faced midget in Bravely Default.

Pokemon using Powder moves like Venemoth, Vileplume, etc are usually called Derosa

And sometimes I just call my Pokemon after a Fire Emblem character. Early bug types are named after Jagens and I remember my Solrock being called Zealot because his stats and jointime reminded me of him

Edit: Oh yeah I called my Psyduck Corrin since it looked like he wasn't very bright.

I named my goon squad in Sun after the main characters in Trails of Cold Steel. If I'm remembering correctly, it's:

Albarea, the Crabominable
Claussell, the Lyncanroc
Craig, the Primarina
Regnitz, the Vikavolt
Schwarzer, the Turtonator
Armbrust, the Alolan Marowak

Can't forget Valimar, the Zygarde, too. Probably a few others, but I can't recall them.

We have an empress! LONG LIVE EMPRESS MELIA OF ALCAMOTH!

...And we have this good doggo boy.

Screenshot_20180722-075026_Pokmon_GO.jpg

I swear his spirit animal is a German shepherd because he's fierce, protective, and a badass. This works better than a gallade anyway, because he's got that sibling bond with Fiora now, both being canines.

@Anacybele I was wondering... How do you upload your photos? I want to show off my Alolan Ninetales, but  Whenever I try uploading photos from my Phone or my laptop when I send those photos from my laptop; it says exceeds the size. Am I the only one who has this problem
