\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome! Here I am, the… Name Rater. Yes, that’s who I am, I think.<\/p>\n

Before I do these name rates, I wish to clarify that I was NOT talking to jars of pickles, and certainly not because I am lonely! No, I was just… reading their nutritional content labels out loud, is all.<\/p>\n

Now then! The Lotad line? Let’s do this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lombre Only<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hombre<\/strong>
\nWell, Hombre would be a good(?) Lombre name.<\/em>
\nNormally I disapprove of such minor name changes, but this one letter change is actually fairly fitting for the Pok\u00e9mon! That is, if your Lombre is actually a friend. They can be nasty fellows and have been known to play tricks on people and steal my shoes. Stupid Lombre are not this man’s hombre!<\/p>\n

Ludicolo only<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mini B<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d like to post the MOST obvious Ludicolo name, that being \u201cMini B\u201d. Why? (Resist the temptation, resist the temptation\u2026\u2026. WYNAUT!?!?) Because Miror.B\u2019s entire team consists of Ludicolo (and a Sudowoodo) that all dance, imitating him. That, and they\u2019re smaller than him. Hence, Mini B.<\/em>
\nI believe you stand to be corrected, in that this afro with a man attached to it has happened to use a few other non-Ludicolo Pok\u00e9mon! But granted, Ludicolo is the obvious main for him, so I can see the point in calling it that. The only problems with that is that you can’t call them all the same thing, you’d just get horribly confused. And you wouldn’t want to encourage them in growing an afro…<\/p>\n

LudiYOLO<\/strong>
\nA popular name for Ludicolo is LudiYOLO. I\u2019m not a fan of the whole YOLO craze, but it\u2019s actually pretty clever.<\/em>
\nClever? I beg to differ! Ludicolo do not yolo around, and given it stands for You Only Live Once, Revives suggest otherwise!<\/p>\n

Dionysus\/Bacchus<\/strong>
\nFor Ludicolo, Dionysus or Bacchus, after the Greek or Roman god of drunken merriment.<\/em>
\nPoints for a fitting name, for Ludicolo is most certainly an entertaining Pok\u00e9mon, and even more so with some rain of alcoh-water. Definitely water. Just be careful that the god based name doesn’t go to its head.<\/p>\n

Ludimefudelilolololo<\/strong>
\nSir, you are clearly drunk.<\/p>\n

Nicknames for all forms!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lilypad<\/strong>
\nBut the only alternative I can think of, for any of them, is Lilypad. Because\u2026uh\u2026Lilypads yo.<\/em>
\nI pity the Lotad that gets this for a name, because really it’s just treating it as if only the lilypad is worth mentioning! Sure, it’s a great lilypad. It gets bigger each evolution, and is very good at holding water or even as a piece of furniture, on which you can place objects such as your meal, or a small child. But don’t forget that there’s a thing below that lilypad, holding it up, and it has feelings too.<\/p>\n

Paddy<\/strong>
\nWhenever I train these Pok\u00e9mon I name the whole line Paddy. The pun is (extremely witty I know) obvious but I think that\u2019s good for a Pok\u00e9mon nickname, and the name carries an Irish feel to it from the most common stereotypes coming off in that line. Lombre feels like the angry\/depressed personality and Ludicolo the drunk party\/river dance personality, alongside Lotad who gives off a feel of country\/home, so I feel like this line does a great job at expressing the many expected faces of Ireland. ie; Paddy!<\/em>
\nAh, a fine explanation here, and bonus points for explaining how it fits for each of the stages! But it does beg the question now on the nationality of the Pokemon given the other Mexican stereotypes that exist of it. It mightn’t know itself!<\/p>\n

The Gravekeeper<\/strong>
\nBecause what\u2019s funnier than sarcasm?<\/em>
\nAll I’m going to say on this is that if Lombre or Ludicolo was a gravekeeper I wouldn’t want to be buried in its cemetery.<\/p>\n

Lucius\/Lucinda<\/strong>
\nIn all seriousness, though, I do feel like a more serious name would do them justice. So how about something like Lucius\/Lucinda or something?<\/em>
\nSame first\u00a0letter theme, I see. Well, the old ‘name them unlike their standard nature\/personality’ trick can work well, and you could come up with a neat tune with those names too. ‘~I choose you, Lu-cin-da! Lu-cin-da, use Rain Dance! You can win, Lu-cin-da! Lu-cin-da, we all love-‘<\/p>\n

Ahem. That is to say, it is a good nickname.<\/p>\n

My personal recommendations!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tabletop<\/strong> – Fitting if you use this Pokemon to decorate your home! Just make sure it doesn’t learn Dive or moves too much on its own.
\nFrisbee<\/strong> – Lotad needs its own special name, and this is a fine alternate application for the thing!
\nLombrero<\/strong> – A one letter change of a real word, but if you can’t find a Water Stone it really helps brighten up that grumpy looking Lombre.<\/p>\n

<\/em>\"[Image:<\/p>\n

This is Lombre when it’s happy.<\/em><\/p>\n
