Do You Ever Want To Change Any Of the Pokemon's Name?

Rapidash should be Horsace! Horse + Ace or Horsire! Horse + Fire!
 
Probably excepting some of the ones from generation one, overall I believe that the names are good as they are.
 
Pansage should've been Panseed, imo. It makes slightly more sense, and I'm sure most people would understand were the "seed" part of its name comes from in contrast to "sage" (which I just recently figured out the meaning of ._.).

Sage is a common cooking spice, though. Makes more sense with sear and pour (things that are done while cooking). Though, yeah, either way, it's the oddball of the three.
 
Hm, I do like almost all the names... But, for example, Krokorok and Krokoodile should retain Waruvile and Waruvial as english names. Sandile fits with Waruvile and this one with Waruvial. Not that I don't like Krokorok and Krokoodile, anyway.
 
i dont like to question the names (except Purugly) becuase most are just so genius..........i mean Haunter........is just perfect!
 
Reinclus should have been Jellybear.


I hate it's english name, and just call it by it's japanese name.
 
I fail to see how Haxorus is dull, but to each his own.

I do think that Oshawott, while growing on me, could have been named something a bit cuter.
 
I'm fine with most of the English names this generation except for Purrloin. I'm not too sure how to pronounce it, but looking at it I immediately see "loin" and think of steak.
 
I really wish they hadn't chosen "Mandibuzz" as the name of the vulture Pokemon. Why couldn't they have left it as Vuljina?
 
Conkledurr. If just so i'd stop seeing names like "Conkle Hurr" they're not funny.

I'm pretty sure most people think of a different definition of that word...

Stunky and Skuntank. Their names are puerile.
 
For me, Pokemon with regards to their nomenclatures (naming) ever since was an animation history. Pokemon (TM) already created hundreds and counting Pokemons. but there are Pokemon names that I don't really like or it stinks or it annoys me, more than what it showcased to the viewers.

When the anime was starting before I wonder where did the authors/creators got theses names. I thought of naming Pikachu to be Micelectric (Mice + Elecric) and Bulbasaur to be Whippuse (Whip + Lettuce) so funny..

Micelecric? That's worse Mr. Mime. I'd change Seel if I could. I'd also change names like Pruloin or Gurdurr. And I like the name unknown.
 
Mienshao. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's awesome, and I want one for my team. But, everytime I think of it, I think Mee--owwww=cat.
