Top 10 Worst Pokemon Names
Respect the old Kanto Pokemon. They have been around for 16 great years and now this generation is hating on them because they are inferior compared to today's 3D graphics. But every Kanto Pokemon has satisfied so many children across the world, and they are nostalgic, amazing, and original. Then, Nintendo switched from original designs to garbage bags, ice cream cones, and ghost lamps. If anything, Kanto should be making fun of the ugly boring new Pokemon.
When I was young, I was only able to get 'fake' Pokemon cards. They messed up everywhere, calling the Pokemon what they looked like, like 'sheep' or 'monkey' etc. The only one they actually got right was seel, because they must have accidentally misspelled it. What a coincidence. If anything, it proves how unoriginal a name it is.
Creator1: hey I'm going to draw a seal then we will name it.
Creator2: sounds good
Creator1: I'm done now what does that look like to you?
Creator2: it looks like a seal. So what about seel as its name. Creator1: nobody will ever find out how we got that name.
Creator2: nope. What a great work day do you want to go to the bar a have celebrate?
Creator1: Hell ya.
Let's go.
Ok.So within the very first generation of Pokemon they ran out of ideas.All they did was took a kids drawing of a seal add a horn and named it seel.This is much,MUCH lazy then any other thing in the Pokemon universe! Even snorlax is lest lazier then every single thought that went to making seel aka the creators didn't even try Pokemon.
Hey I have an idea! Let's take a final evolved Pokemon and name it after its 2 former Pokemon.
That's not a Pokemon name. It's the words to the Lavender Town song.
Thank god I only played Gen 1 & 2.
People say Gen 1 has crappy graphics but praise 80s video games.
Creator: quick we need a technological Pokemon.
Someone: hey this gear fell out of your machine I think...
Creator: A gear Pokemon! The name can is Klinklang. Lets call it a day!
Hey developers, can't you see that there are such thing as FEMALE Mr. Mimes.
The decision of naming it Mr. Mime bit them in the ass in Gen 2, which introduced gender.
Just name it a mime why did you add the mr
He's a pedo clown and they name him mr mime? Perfect!
Old lady: Murgh, groceries. (Old lady sees a kid getting hit) kid: Oof! (Old lady then sees guy making a bid) Guy making bid: Dude, I'm making a bid here! (Old lady gets idea)
Old lady: aha! (Old lady goes to her husband) Husband: Pokemon name or new lipstick?!
Old lady: Pokemon name! Husband: Tell me! Old lady: Bidoof! Husband: So much luck!
Correction: I believe its pronounced BiDOOFUS. Or you could say BiDOOFENSHMIRTZ or however that guy's name is spelled. It's just a dumb name anyway.
Its name probably just comes from a misspelled beaver+tooth or possibly doofus. But it looks like bidet.
I think: The name makes the pokemon sound useless and stupid.
Lady: Hhhmm m hm mm.. Oh! (Lady sees kid on pogo stick) Pogo stick: Spring,spring spring. (Lady walks past farm and sees pig) pig: Oink, oink! (Lady thinks) (lady goes to bosses office) Boss: Have ya got more Pokemon names Lady? Lady: Yes! It's spoink!
Boss: I'm gonna be rich!
Sounds like someone with a deep australian accent saying "spank"
Bad name and design, but I like it cause its cute
Spring + oink = spoink
Name creator: I love basketball! Other person: Oh, and since he's an ant, how bout call him Durant. Name creator: Great idea, boss! You know that I have always been waiting to insult basketball legend Kevin Durant in a form of a Pokemon.
WORST NAME EVER!
It's not named after a basketball player. It's a combination of "Durable" and "ant". The Kevin Durant thing is just a coincidence.
How can you name a pokemon after a city and a person? How bout make a llama pokemon named Obama and call it clever? Dumb!
The only reason people at my school like this is because they can tease the teacher mrs durant
Ho-Oh and Lugia are major aspects of my childhood. They represented power and beauty and friendship to me, and if you've ever played anything of Gold, Silver, Crystal or HG/SS, you'd know what I mean. I am very sad and disappointed that today's people make fun of the old day's Pokemon. I liked it better back then, when we had no X and Y or Black and White. Instead, we had Gold. We had Silver. Now, we have less original Pokemon designs, and if I got to pick between Gold version or X version, I would pick Gold. Johto lives on in me.
So many people miss pronounce it and say ho-ho. And whenever you say it, people giggle and go "he said hoe. " It's so stupid. Love this pokemon though.
I once was talking about pokemon with my friend and he menshand Ho oh and I had no idea what it was so that night I looked up Ho oh and I'm like I KNOW THAT POKEMON and then I thought that's a STUPID NAME for it
Let's see... Santa: Ho Ho Ho! Hello! Little girl: (try's to say ho ho ho) Ho- oh.
(Santa actually game freak employee) Looky there! (Looks at watch) I've gotta meeting! Bye now! (Dashes off). Boss: so, employee, any new names for Pokemon?
Employee: Yes, actually, Ho-Oh! Boss: Great!
This is what the creators were like:
Pokemon creator:Hey! I just found love! Now I'll express it in pokemon form!
Other pkmn cretor: lets make it a heart! And lets change the name from "love" to "love"! I'm AWESOME AT MAKING NAMES!
Here is what I say from that: pkmn creators. Love disc is the worst name for any pokemon :(
Luvdisc is named after the Discus fish, which are shaped like hearts... Actually a pretty clever name.
To true it's a love heart with eyes and a beak I don't love this Pokemon
Just say this to a random person who walks by: Luvdisc.
"I have a GREAT idea for a Pokemon! It's great at THROWING things! Let's name it "Throw! " No, wait--let's change one letter so that it sounds the same but still looks like a name! THROH! "
MAY I AXEW a question please? Why did you THROH my SAWKS in the bin? That was ONIX -spected of you. Did you SEEL them into the TRUBBISH? That was PURUGLY especially when it was UNOWN.
Let's take a word, then change ONE LETTER! Nobody will ever know!
The sound of my sneezes is actually better than Throh
Creator: Oh My Gosh I have a great idea for a pokemon name! Let's take what the pokemon is (rubbish, if you haven't picked up what I'm saying yet) and stick a T in front of it! Trubbish! How original! And for its evolution, we'll take what it is(garbage) and put a synonym for smell (odor) and combine it! Garbodor! I'm AMAZING at this!
@The person below me - I laughed so hard at your comment I darted 5 times FART FART FART FART FART
Name creator: I have a great idea for a Pokemon name! Lets take trash and rubbish to make Trubbish!
Pokemon creator: BEST. IDEA. EVAHH!
Rubbish trash, same like his name TRUBBISH (trash rubbish) laugh out loud
I'm still not sure if I'm pronouncing it right.
Loud+Explosions!
Purugly more like pure ugly
Purr-Ugly? Purugly IS a UGLY cat Pokemon but, Seriously!?!
Why would anyone call anything a name like this? Ridiculous.
Why does it have the word ugly in its name?
I get this one! Magic Carp! It's moves are awesome! (not.) Bounce! It's so awesome! (nice job. That move sucks.) Flail! Does 3209r42385348 damage to Arceus! (if magic carp learns it you'd might as well call it Fail.) Tackle! TOO AWESOME IF MINE LEARNS IT I'm GONNA DIE! (for magic carp you shoulda called it ATtackleSS! ) It's so awesome! ( what kinda a name is Magikarp?!?! You should have called it Magikrap.)
Oh! Magic-Carp (When he can't even do a good attack. )! Bounce! Flail (Maybe just call the attack FAIL)! Tackle! Oh, come on! Anyway, good job, Game Freak. So magical!
I was scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, WHERE IS MAGIKARP Oh There he is
Magikarp's name is supposed to be ironic. In Japanese, its name is Koiking, which is also ironic.
Creator 1: Let's make a Pokemon off of hieroglyphics that everybody understands, but no one in the Pokemon worlds understands, so they call them Unknowns!
Creator 2: Shouldn't this be a bit more original?
Creator 1: You're right! Let's drop the K! Then no one will know where we got it from and it will sound completely original!
Creator 2: And to make it more original, we should make it only know one move that's practically useless!
Creator 1: Great idea!
GameFreak Worker 1:This Pokemon is mysterious.
Girlfriend Worker 2:Yes, it is.
Girlfriend Worker 1:So, let's call it unknown.
Girlfriend Worker 2:No, that's too easy. Let's be creative.
Girlfriend Worker 1:Creativity makes me nauseous.
Girlfriend Worker 3:Hey, let's just take out two letters and make that it's name!
Girlfriend Worker 2:Great idea!
Girlfriend Worker 1:Brilliant!
This name is sucks, here is how to say it: un-KNOWN, the name is stupid, it is also stupid it self, it's just stupid symbols.
It's an unknown pokemon. Apparently the concept of originality is unknown to whoever named it.
The name of the legendary Pokemon from the upcoming Pokemon Y, even though he/she/it looks cool and strong, it's name is probably the worst Pokemon name EVER!, I mean, come on Yveltal, how do you even pronounce that?!?!? , what are they thinking? , this has got to be the most hardest Pokemon name to pronounce.
I swear gamefreak is trying to teach us the alphabet. Like really. Just WHY gamefreak I mean legendary pokemon based on letters? Haven't you accomplished that with unown? Yet now you create puns by shoving a y in front of its name because its a pokemon y exclusive..
It took me longer to be able to pronounce this name than it did to learn how to pronounce my friend's 18 letter Russian last name.
It sounds like a baby saying ouch.
Me ouch
Is The Sound a kitten make's With lips
Is it uh-ski or you-ski?
Haha, you ski. I don't. I don't like to ski.
(I'm bad at making jokes)
I like that joke
Seriously! When BW came out I pronounced it MUN-nuh (the logical thing to do in English) but when I watched the anime Officer Jenny pronounced it MOO-nuh. Also Munna is a South African name.
Really they r running out of ideas at game freak it doesn't event make sense WHAT IS MUNNA
I have a munna plushie and I don't know how to explain the names to my friends
I know what munna is! STUPID
More like "hit 'em on top."
Hit monster spinning top oh wow, as creative as pocket monsters or Pokémon as you all know,( I don't have anything except for this against Pokémon it's my favourite game.
He should be #1. Doesn't dunsparce sound stupid? Durant does too but dunsparce still is worse in battling, and names! Next time, try voting for dunsparce
Dunsparce = Dunce. Dunce = Dumb person. Therefore, Dunsparce = Dumb Person
When I was little I couldn't even pronounce it
Did you know that salamances highet and weight stats are identical to dunsparce
Abra. Abra evolves to Kadabra. Kadabra. Kadabra evolves into Alakazam. Alakazam
I don't think they were trying here - Unnamed Google User Remade
It sleeps for 18 hours a day and uses psychic powers while sleeping - Ridiculous!
Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam. Are you kidding me.
It's clever Abra Kadabra Alakazam
It was between this and exeggcute. I bet when they're doing the dub, whoever's voicing Ash trips up on the line like five million times, and when they finally get it right, whoever voices the Pokémon screws it up. Like seriously! Try saying it five- no, let's make it ONE time. And about exeggcute, it sounds like something Dr. Eggman would say.
Laugh out loud it's a palindrome!
HOW Do you say this?
Oh my gosh
Clap... Clap... Worst name ever!
I amell a really bad garbage odor. Wait, let's make a Pokemon like that! I will be a sack of trash with two arms, and we'll name it something like garbage odor. Or better, Garbodor! This is the most original Pokemon we've made in a long time!
And this is why Game Freak is running out of ideas.
Let's start by its terrible design: It's A PEICE OF GARBAGE WITH ARMS! Then, if you get past all of that, it has the dumbest name ever. Garbobor. Really? Come on Game freak, it's already a terrible idea for a Pokemon, why did you give it an unoriginal and uncreative name?
Well, I can see where they got the idea. A grumpy pig, which is what it looks and acts like...
Nose pass. Nose Pass gas. Pokemon jokes.
Game Freak brings them on themselves.
Haha Nose pass more like No Pass...
Its a nose for the love of god.
It's actually nose and compass
