But Vista fails...Anywho...I have a Breloom named Toad. for my Mario Party

Technically, Vista is superior presentation-wise, and it does have quite a bit of power backing it (ala Porygon-Z), but it is buggy, which I felt perfectly defined P-Z (as stated in the 'dex entry.) That said, XP is still usable, despite being outdated. Plus, it can still do things that Vista can't (ala P2 being able to Trace)
 
I also have some more nicknames...

Octillary = Kracken
Probopass = Nosey
Porygon-Z= Porygon 3
Snorlax = Tubby, FAT, Mctubs, Mcdonalds, anything else for fat.
Slaking = sofa king

PorygonZ- Skiff
Milotic- Mistral
Grandbull- Fluffy
Dragonite- Flurry
Mamoswine- Urimu
Arcanine- Pyre
Gliscor- Macabre
Aerodactyl- Rancor

that's most of them...
 
Personally I'm more of an Italiophile than a Japanophile, but half of Italian words are exactly the same as in Latin and Spanish, so it doesn't sound as cool.

Plush I made up Erutashi and Kazanhime when I was what, 10? Cut me some slack.

My made up word for someone who's in love with Italy and its culture (I'm half Italian on my mother's side) Cannolis FTW.

I plan to name my Bronzong Gangan, the Japanese onamatopoeia (dang that's a long word) for the ringing of a bell. Hell, Gangan was the reason I thought of using a Bronzong, 'cause I normally don't train genderless Pokemon.
 
i usually only give stupid nicknames to my pokemon.

lucario - coolio
starmie - gangstar
vileplume - viledoom
porygon-z - gorygon-z

sometimes i just stick die or kill in their name like dieranitar and togekill.
 
I remembered that I got the riolu egg from riley on my birthday, and then I hatched it on that same day. to be festive, I nicknamed it (my name)ario. I'm not going to say my real ingame name since I could be raped at night if I do.
