Why isn't it called lightning then?

Its not like thunder can actually hurt anything.

>The Japanese name of this move, かみなり Kaminari, can refer to both thunder and lightning. This explains the inaccuracy in the English name, as thunder is the sound produced from lightning, the electrostatic discharge that the move refers to. A similar situation occurs with ThunderPunch.

Pokemon have more sensitive hearing than you and I. The attack show lightening because its hard for them to make another animation which kids will associate with Thunder
