Suggestion: Add a Pokemon Nickname Thread?

Question

Well it gave me the idea when I was struggling to think of a few nicknames for certain Pokemo. So I thought it would be helpful to have this on Database. Like with the Movebot just have a nickname bot to ask the questions and we answer, same as the moveset questions.

Answer 1

This have been asked before and been rejected before due to it being entirely opinionated as can be seen in this question.

There will probably be a forum thread for this.

Well how I see it is the "good" moveset questions are opinionated also hence the reason  why there are so many answers for them. Anyway people still select which moveset they think is the best, ( same as it would be with nickname questions) so I really don't see why it can't happen.

The difference between movesets and nicknames though is that movesets actually matter in a battle. A good, cleaver or original moveset can make a team excel. Names on the other hand are pretty much pointless. If they are named Destructor, Das Terminator, Bob or Colossus have no affect on the battle.

Furthermore, movesets aren't opinionated. They can be based on actual result and how well they work. A can thus be based on fact, meaning some are better than others. Names on the other hand, anything floats. Dedenne, Destroyer of Worlds is completly equal to a Magikarp named Tom. As I said, nicknames are quite pointless, and wouldn't work as the DB looks now.

You do have a point. Seems it may never exist :/ oh well..
