I have decided to start a playthrough of Pokemon Sword, and I thought it might be fun to have you wonderful people name my pokemon as I acquire them.

My only rule is that I like my pokemon names to start with the same letter as their actual name. For example, if I got a Woolio, I would want it to start with W.

But if someone has an especially amusing name that breaks that convention, then sure why not.

I dunno. Could be fun.

I'm going to start with Scorbunny this go, so does anyone have a name for this guy:

I don’t know anything about Pokémon after red/blue and minimal about gold/silver so I might outsource some of the naming guesses
Yeah I'm probably gonna have my kids give me names if there's no timely suggestions. I'll keep updating the thread with their choices though.

I occasionally would, but I did less of it as I got older and couldn't be arsed to name every one I caught
I'm the opposite, I never did it when I was younger (because I wanted the REAL names, damnit) but as I got older I cared less.

There for a bit I named them all after athletes I liked but since they all end up disappointing you I switched to thoughtful names like "Goober" and "ThisFknGuy"

I wonder if Im the norm or exception, I have never changed the names of my pokemon
I don't really name mine, though I do when playing rom hacks...weird habit. I just keep their regular names, because they're hired guns as this is a business transaction. Get me my badges, I'll get you your evolutions and moves.
