I believe that GF's policy from Gen II onwards was to make important Pokémon names the same in all languages.

But Lugia's Japanese name is Lugia, that's what the official trademarks use. L/R is interchangeable in Japan. It's the same with Lucario.

Well, they were the very first games
Simplistic nomenclature is perfect for boss characters, it gives a special type of ambiguity
Especially in the late 1990s, where video games were still sort of settling in

No, the Lake Trio and Genie Trio are notably different...

Azelf is Agnome, Mesprit is Emrit, Tornadus is Tornelos, Thundurus is Boltolos, and Landorus is Landlos.

It's Voltolos.

Also, while it's pronounced the same, the official Japanese spelling of Ho-oh's name is Houou.

In more recent years, there's also Cobalion, which is Cobalon in Japan.

I dunno. I assume Kaiorca is a combination of "kaiju" and "orca". "Kaiju" translates to "(strange) monster", so it's a great name I think.
The problem comes when dumb Amerifat spawn get angry because they don't understand why their awesome whale monster is called "Kaiorca".

Or we're both assholes and "kai" is just a reference to the sea.
>Kyogre and Kaiorga may be a combination of 海 kai (ocean) and orca (a species described as a whale, but is more closely related to dolphins). Notably, it may also involve 海王 kaiō (king of the sea), which are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei (Neptune). It may also be derived from eygre, a tidal phenomenon.

I guess I should have just looked at bulbapedo in the first place. I do like your idea though. Different trains of thought.

Bulbapedo's "name origin" sections are just lifted from Japanese fansites, and then usually have some weird illogical bullshit added to them by dumb kids with no understanding of Japanese. Hardly the best place to look.
