me age 7: this pokemon is named cupcake becos its random and cute 

me age 12: this pokemon is named

Petri, named after petrichor, the name for the scent of rain. a close second was Nimbus, named after nimbostratus clouds in which rain forms. i was very tempted to go with Proteus, a greek shapeshifter who ruled the sea, but i realized that would be more fitting for a pokemon with a stronger attack stat. i researched these names endlessly and they took 2 hours to come up with. 

me age 15: this pokemon is named sleepy becos he looks sleepy

Me at 26: this Pokemon is named ‘oh shit! he’ so when they use an attack it says: “oh shit! He used double slap!”

Me at 8: *nicknames Pokemon random words in English because they sound cool*

*realises that in the process I can’t remember the real names of the pokemon*

*promptly renames them and never uses nicknames ever again*

Me now: Still doesn’t nickname my Pokemon and OCD kicks in whenever I receive the opposite legendary from a trade and its nicknamed.
