Rating Your Nicknames

Hello and welcome. In this domain, your Pokemon's nicknames will be rated by myself and/or [one of] two others.

We will rate your nicknames based off of a three-tier rating system. This system includes three different categories, in which you may earn up to five "points" or "stars" in.
The three categories consist of :

Originality
How clever/witty is the name?
Relevance
Does it makes sense for the Pokemon?
Style
How does it sound/feel?

After you are rated in each of these categories, your total score will be averaged out to show your final score.
As previously stated, your score will be counted in "points". Each judge will have his own thumbnail for these points, though they are all of the same value. You may earn up to five points in each category, and average to a maximum total of five points for your nickname.

We will also be giving out prizes. They will be given out to those who come up with nicknames that we all see prize-worthy.

Feel free to ask for as many rates as you like, but know that responses may be delayed. We will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Credit goes to "la Gray" for this concept

The Judges

As previously stated, you will be presented with three different judges who will each be separately judging your nickname, or possibly only one or two of them will be.
Nonetheless, here they are. Only use the codes if you would specifically like one judge to rate your Pokemon.

My face is reflected in the water...
It's a shining grin full of hope...

Originality :
It is a decent name, but an obvious one and made with a concept that has already been thought of by many. I realize that it is a comedy name, and although it is comedic, it isn't very original.

Relevance :
It does make moderate sense, but not very much. It is a female Machamp, which does not have a shirt, though there is no difference in breast size between the male and female Machamp. Naming a female Machamp "Nudist" is basically no different than naming a male Machamp "Nudist", because neither are wearing shirts.

Style :
I suppose that "Nudist" is just a name pointing out the fact that Machamp isn't wearing a shirt. It's just a regular word in the English Dictionary, so it isn't like it's anything special.

Zigbon

Originality :
A rather OKAY name for a Pokemon with no shirt, but it has a LOT more 'clothing' and is outclassed by a few more even nude 'Mon.

Relevance :
In the great words of Wynaut, "What.". I get that this was for fun, but you could've done in on a Pokemon that *isn't* as emotionally scarring as a Female Machamp and was ACTUALLY naked.. Not that you really should, but go ahead and be my guest. It'd be best if we didn't meet that one individual Pokemon that goes all natural, and I mean NATURAL.. Seriously, those things are nightmare fuel.

Style :
I c u liek dem funneh naems. Well, you're there and you are thinking in the right place by pointing out Machamp's topless self, but it's a little rough around the edges. Take two Irons in the morning. That should help.

Originality:
It is on the more clever side of the 'wat.' nicknames, so you do get props for that. Still, there are a plethora of other nicknames that you could utilize.
User Image

Relevance:
Nidoqueen. That is all.

On a side note, consider how absolutely creepy that would be to have a run in with a five foot tall four armed female Machamp. Just take a moment on reflect on that.

Style:
Well, it doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but it doesn't cut your tongue as it comes out either. Then again, when said with a French accent it does sound like a pretty good insult.

RisingDarkness9

My face is reflected in the water...
It's a shining grin full of hope...

Originality :
It's a decent name for the scenario. It is definitely more on the creative side. I wouldn't necessarily call it "clever", but it does have uniqueness to it.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Relevance :
I can see the relevance. I am assuming that you are relating the shiny Ninetales' colour scheme to Glimmer's parade costume [the novel version, not the movie version]. I also suppose that there is a connection between the literal definition of the word "glimmer" and the Shiny sparkle that appears when you would send out Ninetales. Other than those, I'm not sure that I see any other connections between the two.
Unless you're making a connection between the fate of the two. You've met a horrible fate, haven't you???

Style :
I suppose the name sounds decent. It doesn't sound terrible, but it's not amazing, per se. I suppose it matches the Pokemon, so that's a plus.

Pent and Ten

My face is reflected in the water...
It's a shining grin full of hope...

Originality :
I would say that the name isn't exactly "clever" or "creative". I think it's just a type of standard name for the scenario. It isn't the most simple, however.

Relevance :
I can definitely see the relevance. Linoone naturally has a decent Speed stat, and the fact that when added with the additional boost from its Ability, it is indeed quite fast.

Style :
I suppose that the nickname doesn't sound "bad", but it's not "excellent", either. I would say it's a par nickname.

Originality:
Hmm, going old school I see. I can dig that. I personally like going for that style. I do like going for more obscure names though, but I still like it.
User Image

Relevance:
Considering the rose based facade Tuxedo Mask was associated with I would say this is incredibly relevant. A+ on that one!
User Image

Style:
As I said before, I like names that reference characters from other forms of entertainment. This case being an Anime. I say good job.
