Generation IX Pokemon Nicknames, Part 1
All this about Scarlet made me want to take a look at all the Generation IX Pokemon, their stats, and what nicknames I would give them if I ever raised one.
... Believe it or not, but Yakuza 8 is the biggest reason why I suddenly got into a Pokemon mood, hence the Crystal version run recently.
Yakuza 7 introduced the Sujimon joke, but only had the Sujimon professor and the Sujidex. But 8 actually has the Sujimon types, Sujimon League, the Discreet Four, actual battles, and a reference to how messed up everything is. "Your Blaze type Sujimon damages an enemy, hoping desperately to gain your approval."
So anyways, here goes. ... I doubt I'll have that many more Starcraft references for these nicknames, since I almost got every unit already.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Grass type jester that blows up its flowers? Hmm... Maybe "Hwatan"? A pun using Korean-hanja term for garden "hwadan", but "tan" for bullet/bomb.
A Fire Spanish-death-festival gator... I don't know. Well, not all can get a nickname from me, and I ran out of fire-based units from Starcraft.
Can't get away from these Fighting type starters... "Duck Quixote". ... At least it used to be a duck. Kind of looks like Keldeo in a way.
I would never make these, so no nickname.
So this is the evolution form of that thing Scarlet has. Its stats are horrendous, so I would never make this thing.
Kind of looks like a robotic bug. "Mechahopper"!
The hell is this thing? Kind of looks like a merge of a Raichu and... er... that thing that evolves into Hariyama in Generation III. (Looking it up) Ah, Makuhita. I don't remember that name at all. Hmm... I guess I'd call this thing a "Makuchu".
What kind of rodent gives birth to one offspring at a time? This thing has Spd but nothing else (suitably) so... I would not make one. If I did, I'd call it "Ratpack".
A dog made of buns. ... "Hotdog"?
An olive tree... Grass/Normal? They're giving away Normal typing to things that aren't typeless? Well, this is an olive tree, so I'd probably call it "Olive Tree" because I don't really care for this thing.
This thing reminds me of Chatot for some reason. ... Does this bird have like a mullet? ... I don't know.
That's a Minecraft mob if I've ever seen one. And "nacl", so... sodium chloride. So it's a block of salt, huh? Hmm... I'd call this thing "Widow Mine". Or "Spider Mine", if I make a second one. Because one, Minecraft, and two, both are Terran units. Spider Mine, the very explosive mine that Terran Vultures lay in Starcraft, and Widow Mine, the very explosive Terran unit in Starcraft 2. And everyone knows that the saltiest players in existence are Terran players.
Huh, that's pretty cool. One got the armor upgrade, the other got the weapons upgrade. Ceruledge looks like a Protoss Centurion from the Legacy of the Void campaign. I might call both as "Forge". Protoss Forge, the structure where you can get Ground Weapons, Ground Armor, and Plasma Shields upgrades. And unlike the other races, Protoss usually only makes 1 Forge, so you can't get Weapons and Armor upgrades at the same time.
... ??? This thing looks like a lot of things. An old fashioned alarm clock, a target, and it looks like it has a record on its belly. Well, since it looks like it has a disc of some sorts on its belly, I guess I'd call it "D Drive"? If it looked like a floppy disc on its belly, then it would've been the "A Drive".
Another Electric type. Given its typing and Ability... "Turbine".
"Guard Dog" because... well... duh.
What the hell is that thing... A toxic monkey, eh? Hmm... sounds like the average commenter on Starcraft Reddit and Blizzard forums... Probably another Diamond League Terran. Hmm... I don't know.
Turns out this town really wasn't big enough for both of them. I'd call it "Desperado", the gunslinger job in Yakuza 8.
Huh. Tentacruel, but fungus edition. ... "Shroom City". It's my GlitchCity the Tentacruel but... mushroom.
... Did its name get cut off, or does it just end like that? It looks like a Krabby for obvious reasons, so... "Klabby".
A Grass/Fire? That's new. Looks like a green bell pepper and a red one for its heads. ... I mean, this thing has to be called "FRLG".
The scarab that rolls excrements has somehow turned it into a ball of psychic energy? My super creative nickname will take its two syllables and rearrange them to get "Scarab". Unfortunately it doesn't learn Explosion so it's not a Protoss Reaver's exploding Scarab.
A Psychic type ostrich? Or is it a turkey? If it's a turkey, I'll call it "Nugget", the "turkey" that you win in Yakuza 0 for bowling a turkey. A turkey for a turkey, except you don't get a cooked turkey dinner, but instead, a live chicken. "It's a lot more... fresher than I thought it'd be!"
A Pokemon Minecraft player? "Minemon".
... I... don't know.
Zero to Hero, Chump to Champ. I might call this thing as "Queen", the Starcraft 1 pro formerly known as Zero. He won 2 ASLs in a row (season 9 and 10) and was lauded as the possibly best player after Flash, but then... he failed to even qualify for ASL season 17 that starts in a few days. And now he's being viciously torn apart (verbally) by other pros in team leagues. From chump to champ to back to a "chump". ... I mean, he'd still definitely steamroll someone like me while drunk out of his mind and only playing with a mouse while off-racing...
Is that a vacuum cleaner Pokemon? ... Oh, it's like a motor cycle of sorts? ... Screw it. It's a vacuum cleaner to me. I will call it "Sojimaru", the city-wide vacuum cleaning robot made by Dr. Okita in Yakuza 7 and 8, that even sucks up social trash in Yakuza 8! Obvious reference to Okita Soji, the Majima of Yakuza Ishin.
A motorcycle... lizard? Now that's a "Ride Pokemon" if I've ever seen one.
A Steel type worm. ... I will call it "Metalworm", the Sujimon in Yakuza 8 which is basically a dude wrapped up in a sleeping bag made of steel, which resists every single attack type.
And... it seems there's an image limit now, so I'll have to do the rest in the next post.
