nemesquid sounds pretty badass

Bass · Dec 28th, 2008, 12:33:12 AM

No offense to you guys, but seriously, what is up with some of the overly complex names? In my opinion, Pokemon names should be somewhat simple, lighthearted, and easily understandable. Really, (not trying to point fingers at anyone here) names such as Argiteuthis may seem innovative, but I seriously can't understand them.

So far, my favorites are Mag's Nemesquid and Beej's Brawlimari. They are both fun and simple, and the the pokemon design is very easy to understand from each part of each name.

With the exception towards the Ralts family, Natu&Xatu, majority of the legendary Pokemons, and a few more Pokemon with names that seem like no sense at first until you actually do research on them. I think a better way of saying it would be that majority of the Pokemon names should be simple and easy to understand.

Calamyr sounds good too. I'll submit both Calamyr and Calamartyr

Lastly, the first three letters are a subtle ode to the name of the Create a Pokemon project.

Captain: do people really think I capture and contain things?
Plus: Yeah
Captain: I AM CAPTURING AND CONTAINING THE IMPOSSIBLE

and CaP6 will surely capture and command (as sea captains do) a spot into your team.

It's also a subtle ode to CaP, CaPtain!

CaptainOlimar · Dec 28th, 2008, 1:33:09 AM

For the record, it's not an octopus :P
And I thought of another one:
Captamar, like captain and calamar.

My actual name means 'captain', too. :D

Genius, Pirataslice is decent but "Bucamate" has a nice flow, simple and kind of sounds bulky. You got my vote

Here is my input:

Hooktopus - Hook "pirate" + Octopus

(I will put second input later)

Deco · Dec 28th, 2008, 7:58:55 AM

Navirator.

Contains 'naval', 'pirate/irate' and 'navigator'.

The -or ending might also be useful for a possible pre-evo; like with Exeggcute/Exeggutor, you could use Navirate/Navirator.

Zoro · Dec 28th, 2008, 9:47:24 AM

Oktajone ( Octopus + Davy Jones )

Krakete ( Krake(n) + Pirate )

ParadOxymoron · Dec 28th, 2008, 10:15:14 AM

Calimari + ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Tsukikage · Dec 28th, 2008, 10:23:13 AM

Just wanted to bump this one to see if I can get some opinions on it.

Petope · Dec 28th, 2008, 11:03:48 AM

People are getting to ambitious with the name I think. And many are getting way to complicated.

And I'm surprised no one mentioned Pirates of the Caribbean's Davy Jones yet.
