I have a Magikarp called World Champ that I keep putting in gyms. He used to be called Eggy bastard, because he was a useless eggy bastard, but somefuckinghow, when tucked away in a gym for laughs, he managed to beat someone. So I figure he earned a new name.

Probably would have been more fun if they’d been named by a four-year-old. Also, kid sucks at arthropods. “A Fish”? “Potato”?

well, beats my 15 month old. for her they would all be “brrr” (bird) “monay, oo-oo, ah-ah” (monkey, chipmunk or squirrel), “rowrow” (dog) or the cute little “clip clop” noise she does when she sees a picture of a horse.

My usual naming scheme is a) Shakespeare characters, or b) food. I went with food this time. I’m gonna have to use “Um Potato”.

The “Lists of Ridiculously Named Pokemon” trend has found renewed vigor. Not that I mind, particularly. This stuff’s comedy gold.

I would assume someone threw a Magikarp against yours and yours somehow came out winning
