So all the seriousness in game world, with all the debates about the thoery of fun and femism, violance, morallity etc, etc; I think it's refreshing for me to playing something imature, simple and yet... fun... like Pokemon.
So I've picked up the platinum version off the net and started to mess with it, while I do have some fun catching pokemons, raising them to be my army of darkness, breeding them, etc, etc, etc but there's one part I've always loved that game and it's kinda taken for granted nowdays...
The custom naming system.
I really having a blast in abusing that feature, since the game allows you to name your pokemons. So far here are the names from the top of my head.
Ass Pickle Redshirt Red Tide Jerkass Turd Asshat
That's all I remembered. It's amusing especially on the likes "Ass Pickle uses Mega Drain" or "Seems like Ass Pickle is bonded with you." xD
Then is got worse then I've started to name some of my pokemon minons from real life where I met people either from the real word or the net.
I think the biggest gem with that is I've named my Pinplup (a penguin pokemon species that you start of with in the game) Mr. Buch. Why? Because it's penguin! And what other animal... errr... sorry pokemon that didn't symbolise him well than a penguin... It's guilty pleasure to name him Mr. Buch and watch the amusment rolled in.
"Mr. Buch grew to lvl 5!"
"The enemy is weak! Get em Mr. Buch!"
"Mr. Buch deliberately trips over"
"Mr. Buch has evolved!"
"You're in charge Mr. Buch!"
"Mr. Buch uses hard rock!"
"Mr. Buch has fainted!"
So... yeah name insertation abuse! Makes me feel young again. So apart from Pokemon, what other games you've abused that feature and tell us your story about it!

I find it amusing to use the name Revan on KotOR; "I'm not Revan any more. I'm Revan!"
And once on Mass Effect, I named my shepard "German".
Also, I named my rival "Anus" last time I played Pokemon. I also have two pokemon that my sister got from a friend in trade, called "Suk me" and "My nuts".

On the old star wars demolition game, i used to change the profile name to my teachers name and then sit back and let them get killed.

And once on Mass Effect, I named my shepard "German". That deserves some kind of comedy award. I once had a KotOR character named Garth Leven. Thought it was funny how he never figured it out. Of course, you can also do this with the main character of the Legend of Zelda games. And I guess the tradition began back with the thre letter highscore names on arcade machines, when the top score was always held by 'ASS'. @ Tillian - I'm flattered by this! But I remind you of a penguin?

Lol "German" Shepard.... gold.
In SCIII and IV... I've named one of my custom fighters "Hardgay" Yes, despite all the censor blocking, I've managed to find a turn around to name it. And no, I'm not dising guy people, it's just that after watching too many Japanese Game shows that featured "Hard Gay" in class at the time when one of my friends shared it around including the teacher. Although after I've made the character... I've was kinda disturbed by it.
--
I think in my last playthrough in Pokemon yellow I've named Garry "Asshat" I think, because that's self expanitory.
In platinum however... I've was so close to name my friend/rival "My Balls" but he's not as anal as Garry, instead he reminded of my uni friend so I've called him Jeff instead.
But that didn't stop me from unoffically calling Team Galaxy "The Galaxy Taliban" due to the fact that they constantly keep blowing shit up at random places. That's right, they pulled off more terrorist bombings than you could shake a pokeball at and I'm supprised it's in a kids game! Not that I'm offended but I'm really surprised that they managed to past that crap under the radar concidering it's a sensitive topic atm. Then again with the constant bad 'engrish' threats and evil (corny) monologue they sprout out... I can see why the radar didn't take the terrorist thing seriously. xD
As for my reasons why I think penguins suits your personality well, buch... in the pokemon design, there's this penguin looking creature who looks like it's wearing a tail coat. When I think tail coats, I think top hates and monocles and when I think of those... lol you get the picture.

When I think of penguins I think nuns. But I see what you mean ;D
For the record, I don't wear a tail coat.
Anymore.

Ass Pickle... I wonder where you got that from I usually stuck with the default names but in FF7 I named my chocobos things like Lol, Rofl, Lmao, Rofl Jr, Lmao2, Lolz and of course my golden Chocobo... Lily. I almost named Cid RocketMan tho.

Yeah... I could go futher with "anal", "A Whore" and "Emo Git" to toss it up but it depends on the pokemon design. I've called the budew "Ass Pickle" because it looks like one. Sadly as I've type this, that pokemon evolved into a pretty little pixie today. Still it's amusing to see that name slap into her though.
Also I've named other pokemons from real life and other games too:
Shepard - Eevee that evolves into some sort of biotic pink cat recently Rascarin - Sinx Evil Chris - Eevee that I will turn into those butt ugly Voltron once I get the thunderstone Kaidan - forgot the name it's a starter sparrow that turns into a giant bird with a wierd hair do. Just like the REAL Kaidan Wrex - Pikachu but I will turn it into Raichu later on since it's fitting for his name Tali - Eevee and one of the rarer female. I've used her like crazy to breed more eevees to fit the collection Weekes - Another Eevee... please don't ask where it came from... Casey - Togepei. It's girly and it's sex is MALE. So girly that I've decided to dedicate Casey Hudson to this pokemon Joker - Ponyta... yeah I've name it again because it sex is male and I love irony Zarsthor - Magikarp ;D
So yeah...
---
I've did name my other shepard bitchface since I wanted to see if I could get away with the name... turns out I can xD
Although... I've recalled if you name your elf character Drizzt Dro'Urden in Balder's gate 2 and act like a total jackass... the real Drizzt pops up and attacks you on sight due to attempting to reclaim his 'reputation'

Wait what? I'm a Magikarp? Well at least I level into Garados! I'll hyper beam all your asses and guess what betches! I can fly without wings! Yeah!
When ever I name little creature sin a game I always call them stuff like 'Bob'. My animal things in Final Fantasy 10 or which ever it was was called Barry, Ricardo, Timothy, Charlene etc... I find it far more amusing naming elaborate monster really normal names. lol
