The names are more for the player's understanding than really a narrative coherence, some are only understood in their original language such as Blastoise the shellfish Pokemon, since in Japanese it uses an archaism that brings together all consumable aquatic animals that have a shell, mollusks, crustaceans, and turtles, the closest word in English is shellfish but contextually it was better to use Seafood or simply Shell.
