We have played a bunch of games in our lives, but the memories we have from Pokémon games are just mesmerizing ones. This game is not just about playing or winning it is more about adventure, strategy, and friendship. And, that’s the reason that it is not only loved by the kids but we the grown-ups are also fans of it.
Being Pokemon players, we can relate that naming a Pokemon creature was not just part of the game but was the whole game about, or say it the ‘Tradition’. Giving a nickname to your Pokemon not only adds up your list but also adds up emotions that we share by connecting to the creatures. I mean just to see how creative names we used to think about them, something like ‘lightning’ or ‘speedy’. Had a flashback? Well, it is! That’s the most interesting and connected part of the game.
And, you would be delighted to know that this blog is all about the nicknames only. I have jotted down the list of Pokemon names, based on different categories just to make sure that your list has a good bundle of collections. So, what are we waiting for, Let’s start!
