@morgantayler Miami heatran/heatmor?

 

Pittsburgh piplups
Pittsburgh patrats

Would've also been good

 

Solid choices!

 

Hi I'm here trying to think of a name

 

I've been trying to think of one and none are very good for Houston or Dallas

Houston ekans?

Houston rockruff?

Austin Tauros?

Austin rhyhorns?!?

 

Bouffalant are Longhorns. But Texas Bouffalant doesn’t quite roll off the tongue

 

San Antonio Espurrs maybe

Or maybe Dallas Dracovish

 

I think I’ll do Miami Heatmor, since Heatmor is actually in Gen 8 lol. Both are good though!

 

Oh i am so in

 

Don't you hate the Spurs? That's a great one tho, I just assumed being a mavs fan you hated them

 

YES

 

I do hate them Haha but the name is so good

 

Dallas magcargo?

 

I’d be terrible at this but also Tennessee Typhlosion

 

I think ima do Dallas Dracovish

Lock it in

 

A nice homage to the defunct Desperados

 

Matt is on his own with the jags name, liepard?

 

Did I miss anyone from the Pokémon thread?

We’re going to cap it at 12.

 

I have three names I really like but I think I'm gonna go with the Portland Timburrs

 

That's a good one

 

I really don't like the Knicks or I would have went with the New York nickits, loved that one so much

 

SoHo Slowbros please

 

That’s a good one.
