Welcome! Here I am, the… Name Rater. Yes, it says it right here on this name tag. But where did I get it from…oh, no matter.<\/p>\n
I’ve grown tired of trying to come up with nicknames for every person in Goldenrod going by this phone record book, so I decided I’ll humour you but rating your offerings for the Pidove line. And I heard that they’re letting Pok\u00e9mon have longer nicknames now. I suppose that allows for more possibilities!<\/p>\n

\nMale<\/em>
\nI like this name, not just for Pidove but the whole line. It’s a fitting name for a bird to begin with, and also works well with the move Pluck.<\/p>\n
\nFemale<\/em>
\nI’m quite partial to pie myself. Mmm, pigeon pie… uh, anyway. I suppose it is a decent reference to the heart shape on the Pok\u00e9mon in the name. A pity you can’t go the maths way either with the Pi part, unless we’re talking about a very bright Pidove…<\/p>\n
\nMale<\/em>
\nTran and squeak? Did you name your Tranquil because it squeaks? A bit confusing, this one.<\/p>\n
\nFemale<\/em>
\nThis is a good use of the first part of the name and the fact it is a female. Although I think Nidoqueen would dislike the attention taken from its own species name.<\/p>\n
\nMale (survived quite a lot of battles!)<\/em>
\nA meaningful name from personal experience! That’s neat, and worth some points there. Sadly doesn’t work too well if it ever does get knocked out.<\/p>\n
\nFemale (flies like a breeze!)<\/em>
\nIf it flies like a breeze though, then it sounds like it doesn’t with the Un part leading in a way. Neat concept in using breeze in the name, but the execution is not quite there.<\/p>\n
\nHow about Unpleasant? I don\u2019t know why, it just sounds funny.<\/em>
\nBecause your Pok\u00e9mon will certainly not be pleasant with you if you call it that. Although maybe it’s ideal if you just want to annoy it. Hehe, take that, bird.<\/p>\n
\nMale<\/em>
\nI like the sound of this name for the line, to be honest. Nice suggestion there. Benedict means blessed, so for a Pokemon loosely based on doves at some point this fits.<\/p>\n
\nMale<\/em>
\nAnd yet another meaningful name – roughly translates to angel-bright, which has some link again to the dove and its symbolism. Plus this name is fun to say!<\/p>\n
\nFemale<\/em>
\nA nice sounding name, but not quite as fitting as the above two. Luckily it fits the character limit in all games – just. But I’m worried for the Pok\u00e9mon – would it be able to say or understand such a name?<\/p>\n
\nI have a female one named “Ala”, which is italian for wing. I thought of naming her “Asa” (which is portuguese for wing), but idk why I’ve named her that… xD<\/em>
\nAla is short and simple, and meaningful-in-other-languages names are neat. That’s because people don’t usually know so if they ever ask you can explain it to them and feel really smart about yourself! And sometimes someone will know and say so and you can high five each other. But anyway, the name does fit, but let us not forget that there is more to a Pidove than a wing. It has two of those. And a head. That’s worth something!<\/p>\n
\nMaximus Decimus Meridius because why not<\/em>
\nBecause… of the character limit, for starters. To be honest, the name of a character played by the actor Russell Crowe might have worked better for, say, Murkrow. But I don’t see Pidove being a Roman gladiator, to be honest…<\/p>\n
\nWhy? I need to explain, seriously?<\/em>
\nYes.
\nFine\u2026 well here goes. You know what Pokemon I like? Pidgeot. He was the original Flying\/Normal, and I love all of mine, from Sawyer to Yegdip to Flutters. I also love Noctowl for being a drug dealer in the anime and Swellow for being a drunken Scotsman. However, Staraptor was just boring and Unfezant was just a continuation of that. Now, here\u2019s where the name gets clever. Unfezant is just a cheap copy of Pidgeot, and there are quite a few of those (Staraptor, Braviary, etc), so it\u2019s like the \u201cPidg\u201d part is from Pidgeot, and the \u201c307\u2033 spells out \u201ceot\u201d (3=E, 0=o, 7=t), so it\u2019s like saying it\u2019s the three hundred and seventh Pidgeot.<\/em>
\nSorry, I got lost after the mentions of a drug dealing Noctowl. An explanation need not be a life story, youngster! I’ll also mention that these sort of nicknames will not turn your Pokemon into a Pidgeot. Trust me, I tried. Alas, poor Mewtwo the Bidoof…<\/p>\n
