I have this headcanon that pop culture in the Pokemon world is full of references to real-world pop culture. So here's the game: take any name from pop culture -- a band, movie, famous company, game, comic book, anything like that -- and make a "Pokemon version" of that name. Also maybe indicate what category of name it is, just in case anyone gets confused. I'll start:

Bands:
Durant Durant
Klink 182

Comics:
Zubatman
Spinarak-Man
Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtle (yeah I know, everyone thought of this one at some point)

Movies:
Turtonator
The Lyin' Slowking
007: From Kanto With Love
Transformers: Dark-Type Of the Moon
Gone With the Winstrates
The Mask of Zorua
 
I'm really upset that I never found this earlier. Yay for looking at Page 12 of this section, lol.

Songs
Ferrothorn in my Side
Pyroar ("You're gonna hear Pyrooooar-oh-ar-oh-oh-ohhhh.")

Bands
Braviaries of Death Metal (lol)
Madvulpix / Madninetales / Madzorua / Madzoroark / Madfennekin / Madbraixen / Maddelphox; take your pick.
Magnemites and Ghost-types
