while we're all getting ready for this storm - very curious this sort of thing, not something i've dealt with before. not something that happened in cloudbank. would have caused many problems though fixing them would have been simple i suppose!

in any case, yes! the subject of this post!

from what i have seen and heard many people give their pokemon names. i suppose it makes sense! but i cannot decide on names for mine. nothing seems to fit! i have not named many sentient creatures before. the ones i have i have been told my names are not very creative.

['Jerk' is a totally valid name for a creature, okay.]

i am a programmer and engineer by trade but i do not think those terms are very fitting for my pokemon.

[Red took all of the function names already. He's tempted to name the cat 'Asher' even if the cat is female.]

i have:
- magnemite (neuter)
- sentret (male)
- purrloin (female)
- dratini (female)
- skarmony (female)
- gastly (female)
- bronzor (neuter)

i did not realize how many female pokemon i have until just now. oh well nothing to be done about it nothing at all. i would prefer if they follow some sort of consistent naming theme but if one seems fitting i suppose it can be an anomaly.

ampere it is then! as for sentret... i don't honestly know. he's rather fond of standing on my head...

Mine did that too! Until she got too big, anyway. Lemme think...

You said most of your Pokemon are pretty calm, right? Is there anything else that might set your Sentret apart from the others?

he runs in and flushes out pokemon from the tall grass a lot. he enjoys sleeping near me too - or at least close enough to get his tail in my mouth.

Sounds like he's really helpful, then! Well maybe you could go off of something like that...like I named my Manectric "Leader" cause he's kindof like...the leader of my team, you know?

it sounds a bit childish but... perhaps 'scout'?

[Childish, are you kidding? This is Jimmy you're talking to.]

Aw, I think that's a perfect name!

[But he is a grown man, Jimmy.]

then scout it is! purrloin... gets on my hands a lot while i'm working.

[You are a grown man surrounded by colorful battle monsters.

The line has long since been crossed.]

Sounds like they're real curious then. Nosy, maybe.

hm. something more regal i think.

cats... felidae... feli... felicia?

That sounds like a good name to me!

dratini might be difficult. she doesn't really seem to like following along with things from me in general.

[Dratini pls.]

Aww, I understand. Well, there's gotta be something that'll catch on that you both will like, yeah?

[There's a pause as he flips through the Pokedex function to look at what her evolutions are.]

[... Huh.]

[He takes a moment to try out some of the names with her.]

well she didn't try to bite me for 'bianca'.

That's a good start! Maybe try some more, see which one she seems to like the best!

i'll try a few.

skarmory is going to be 'dynamica'. but i have no idea how to name a ghost or a... whatever bronzor is.

Well I've never had a ghost before, but I've met ghosts...try to think of stuff that reminds you of them, maybe? Though I dunno if you've ever met a ghost before either...

i haven't, no. though i suppose it might be similar to a trace!

A trace? What's that?

it's the

i suppose you could say it's the 'impression' of a person, what their particular skills are.

....weeeeeiird

so it's not like, their soul or whatever?

[... Well...]

it's their mind

[So it might as well be.]

...Oh. I see.

[...Kindof.]

it's somewhat difficult to explain without the transistor here!

and also without someone who's newly dead.

Oh no, it's fine! I'd rather not have that happen so I could find out, haha

most people wouldn't, no.
