Due to the natural difficulty in pronouncing a name comprised entirely of punctuation and how many people named him ??? because they didn't realize that this was when they named the rival and though they were actually answering a question, this appeared as a common substitute.

* The Chinese fandom has its own memes and fan nicknames:
** Big Fatty: Dragonite, from an early pirated cartridge that became popular in China.
** Chosen King: Flareon, since its terrible speed, inability to learn strong Fire attacking moves by level up, and inability to set up in order to take advantage of its Fire typing, makes it the worst of the Eevelutions, and so gets this nickname ironically.
** Dragon Slayer: A post Gen 6 Marill with Huge Power, Belly Drum, and Fairy-typed move of choice that takes advantage of the attack stat.
** The Fiercest Fish: Magikarp, despite its terrible BST and equally terrible movepool, is a fan favorite to use unevolved either in the post game or multiplayer matches for bragging rights and/or to surprise players not as familiar with the metagame (especially ones that pack their teams full of legendaries in the belief that this makes them invincible)
** Great Chrysanthemum: The most commonly used fan translation for Meganium before the official translation came out; became memetic in fansubs during Pokemon Diamond and Pearl when a Tropius developed a crush on one of the Nurse Joy's Meganiums (as "Chrysanthemum" is an UnusualEuphemism for a certain poop-producing bodily orifice, so Team Rocket Meowth's line about this unusual relationship elicited many giggles).
** Mega Caterpie: Rayquaza, because the two share similar body designs and colorings. By this "logic", Mega Rayquaza gets called "Mega Mega Caterpie".
** Ultraman: The Starmie line, as their core resembles Ultraman's TransformationTrinket.
