(I know I already posted this in the r/pokemon subreddit of Reddit but still )
So yeah, I was inspired by the use of fandom names such as "ARMY" and "BLINK" in the K-pop community (side note: I wouldn't've joined AKP had I not gotten into K-pop at the age of 13) to come up with some names for the fandoms of different Pokemon species/legendary trios/evolutionary lines so here I go 🙂
- The Bulbasaur line: Sauroluv (from the "-saur" prefix of the species in this evolutionary line and "luv")
- The Pikachu line (I'm including Pichu in it BTW): ChuNIA (from the "-chu" prefix of the species in this evolutionary line and "maNIA")
- The creation trio: F1rst (from "first" and the number 1 - get why? lulz 🤣)
- Victini: Vclub (from "Victini" and "fanclub")
- The Oshawott line: Mijuluv (from "Mijumaru" - Oshawott's Japanese name - and "luv")
- Reshiram and Zekrom: ShikuroL (from "shiro", "kuro", and the first letter of the word "Love")
- Kyurem: Yu-king (from "yuki" - the Japanese word for "snow" - and "king")
- The aura trio: Auramatic (from "aura" and "charismatic")
- The Rowlet line: MoMoLuv (from "Mokuroh" - Rowlet's Japanese name - and "luv")
- The guardian deities of Alola: Tapuwai (from the "Tapu" thing in all of the guardian deities' names and "pu'uwai" - the Hawaiian word for "heart")
- Zeraora: ELH/ELectric Hearts (from the fact that it's an Electric-type Pokemon)
- The Cosmog line: Nebuluv (from "nebula" and "luv")
- The Scorbunny line: Liberobae (from "Libero" - this evolutionary line's Hidden Ability - and "bae")
- The Sobble line: MeHeart (from "Messon" - Sobble's Japanese name - and "Heart")
- The Yamper line: Yampian (from "Yamper" and "-ian")
- Calyrex: Chevaluvie (from the French word for "horse" - "cheval" - bc Calyrex's fusions involve horses after all and "luv" with the suffix "-ie" added for well... 😅)
That's all the names for different Pokemon species-related fandoms I could come up with this time. More later 🙂
