Arbok, Ekans - Yeah, amazing They sound good Mewtwo - oh, add 'two' on, that is creative A clone of Mew...how could we name it??? I know, Mewclone! Beedrill - A bee with drill things on its 'hands'...hmmm. Conceded Ninetails - I've no idea how they actually come up with this name to be honest. IT'S NINETALES!!!! Meowth/Persian - Really? Conceded on Meowth, what's wrong with Persian?? Psyduck - Really? A psychic duck with that name? What are the odds. It sounds cool Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam - Where are Hocus and Pocus? Just wait till next gen of pokemons. What's wrong with those names, they're good Krabby - No idea on origins of this name. Conceded Horsea - That looks like a seahorse? Conceded Uno/Dos/Tres birds - Because we cannot count them? Well, they need to hame something in common. Anyway, probably a bunch of others that I do not recall. Pokemon have never been very creative. |
But they need to relate to something, you just cannot name them Wkzryakiex and Gtyyexxceol. And I found the names in the first gen, with some exceptions, of course, to be creative enough without being totally unrelated to what they're describing
