Pokemon Dog Names

Introduction

Pokémon has long since stood as the foremost quintessential monster capturing franchise in all of gaming ever since the first two installments of the series, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green we’re released for Nintendo’s Game Boy handheld gaming system on February 27th, 1996 in Japan. The Pokémon franchise has become a world wide phenomenon, and many of the characters found therein have become so popular that even non-gamers would instantly be able to recognize them. The franchise appeals to a multitude of different mindsets; some fans just want to try and catch all of the ever expanding Pokémon populace, while others like to compete against fellow trainers in an effort to become number 1. No matter the reason, the Pokmon franchise has introduced gamers to a slew of memorable pocket monsters.

Eevee

Eevee the Evolution Pokémon was introduced all the way back in the first Generation of Pokémon games, during the 1990's. This vulpine Pokémon has the appearance of small, brown fox with big ears and luminous, friendly brown eyes. Eevee's frame is very small and petite, which affords it great speed and agility. Interestingly enough, Eevees are almost never seen roaming the wilds. In fact, Eevees are city dwelling Pokémon who players, more often than not, can only obtain by hatching one out of its zigzag patterned egg. Eevees are very charming creatures, and many Pokémon fans have come to adore the creature purely off of the strength of its cute and cuddly appearance. However, the Eevee's adorable appearance is far from being the most unique thing about the Evolution Pokémon.

True to its title, Eevee is capable of adapting to its environment more aptly than any of its fellow Pokémon; depending on which stimuli and scenarios Eevee is introduced to, the Evolution Pokémon can take on a variety of different forms - one for each of the different types of Pokémon that currently exists. This uncanny ability has given Eevee the distinction of having more evolved forms than any other Pokémon. Indeed, Eevee's extreme flexibility is perhaps the biggest reason why this Pokémon has become so popular with fans, as its unique traits allow trainers to create teams that are entirely comprised of different forms of Eevee.

The versatility, the adaptability, the sheer cuteness of Eevee has propelled the Pokmon to the heights of fame and popularity; Eevee plushies sell like hot cakes, and many Pokémon loving dog owners have dressed up their pets in a manner that reflects their favorite form of Eevee. Both in game and in the real world, Eevee’s are highly sought after Pokémon that are both practically effective and unrelentingly adorable. It’s often a practice among Pokémon trainers to name their monsters after people who are near and dear to them. Eevee, and its many other forms, offer Pokémon fans an alternative to this trend; naming a pet that’s near and dear to them, after one of the most adaptable and adorable Pokémon in the entire, beloved franchise.

Furthermore, the likes of Houndour, Houndoom, Poochyena, and Mightyena were specifically modeled after real world breeds, with Houndour and Houndoom resembling a Doberman and Poochyena and Mightyena having been compared with German Shepherds or certain breeds of Wolfdogs.

Pokemon Dog Name Considerations

Without including the Alolan or Mega Evolved variants of the creatures, there are currently 802 known Pokémon monsters as of this writing; 802 memorable and unique creatures that have endeared themselves to players all across the globe. Out of that sea of Pokémon monsters, at least one of them is bound to connect with you on some level or another. Why give your dog a name inspired by a Pokémon monster? Because you'd be paying homage to the creatures that have affected you, and have bonded with you, on a personal level. Pikachu is undoubtedly the most famous Pokémon in the franchise, but even if your favorite Pokmon is as obscure as a Chimecho or is as legendary as an Entei, consider naming your dog after them to show both of your favorite non human friends some love.
