Pokemon name: Titus
Pokemon typing: Normal
pokemon pronouns: He/She
prompt: Titus' name comes from Latin and Roman origin, meaning "honorable; title of honor" or "strong; of the titans". Titus takes his name with pride, guarding ones smaller than her and being the brawn of her "herd", while a non-traditional one. Traveling with Amicia, he takes the role of the older sibling to the younger traveler, who doesn't seem to mind having her around, and cares about him in her own cold way.

Pokemon name: Buckley
Pokemon typing: normal
pokemon pronouns: he/they
prompt:
I'd name this Tauros Buckley, it was a name that just kinda struck me when I saw them. I feel like it's a tough but gentle sounding name and it means Woodland Clearing! I'd imagine with a name like that maybe he protects young woodland Pokemon in a woodland clearing type of area. Also the mental image of tiny Pokemon being excited to visit "Uncle Buckley" is just so cute to me. (72 words)

Api is the name of an Egyptian bull god that is connected to the fertility of crops. Apis is the more common name as it's the Greek name, however Api is the original name. Api is also connected to: the spirit of a king, courageousness and great strength. Api is courageous, putting his herd and woodland Pokémon before himself, he has the spirit and heart of a king, but not one that puts himself first, one who puts his people first. Api is not too strong physically, but mentally he is quite strong and can hold back if needed.

Pokemon name: Nandipada
Pokemon typing: normal
pokemon pronouns: They/them

Pokemon name: Bubulae
Pokemon typing: Normal
Pokemon pronouns: He/him
Prompt:
Bubulae is Latin for beef. It doesn't have to be an insult as beefy means muscular and strong. The word also has a nice ring to it, and his nickname can be Bubu.

Pokemon name: ramekins
Pokemon typing: normal
pokemon pronouns: he/him
prompt: ramekins are a small plastic food dish you use to cook food, either for a tiny amount or just enough for a single person. the first reason behind picking it was because my brain connected this bull Pokemon to a ram, which is the first three letters of the name. the second reason is because i could give him a restaurant and his name would match. i like themed naming.

Pokemon name: The Astounding Pumpernickel
Pokemon typing: normal
pokemon pronouns: he/they
prompt: The Astounding Pumpernickel is his superhero name. He chose is for sentimental reasons. His real name is Nico and when he was just a baby tauros he was spoiled and pampered. His mother was proud of it and called him her pampered Nico, eventually turning it into a pet name of “her sweet pumpernickel”. When Nico grew up and decided to be a hero it made for the perfect name.
