This is the one that makes me disbelieve the list.
The Japanese name for #508 is Muurando... which I suspect, given that it's the "Generous Pokemon", is supposed to be interpreted as "more hound" ("hound" would likely be translated to "rando" in katakana, in the context of a pokemon name), or thereabouts. However, someone that is trying to come up with English names by looking first at the Japanese name might read it more like "moo land", and thus come up with the idea of having the English name end with "land".
Simply put, the name doesn't make sense, based on the standard methods by which pokemon names are made.
If I were going to predict the English name of this pokemon, I'd guess something closer to Machound, playing both on the word "macho" and the word "much". Obviously, I don't think that's the name, but you get my point.
Another one that I suspect is evidence that the list is fake is the family including Reuniclus. Now, Reuniclus makes sense - a play on Reunion and Nucleus, and very similar to the Japanese name, Rankurusu (Ranklus is probably the intended reading). But then you look at the two pre-evolutions of Reuniclus - in Japanese, they're Yuniran (Uni-ran) and Daburan (Double-ran), a clear theme with Rankurusu. In this "leaked" version, they're "Solosis" and "Duosion" - which, other than the themes of "one" and "two", don't really have any connection, either with the Japanese name, the concept of the pokemon, or each other (or Reuniclus).
If I had to predict them, I'd guess that they'd be called Uniclus and Doubleus (maybe Dubleus).
(EDIT: Note the similarity between Uniclus and Reuniclus)
