Pikachu's name is just Pikachu.
Like Game Freak just outright copied the American name. Uncreative fucks.

Ugh.

I know most of you out there think Pikaclones and baby Pokemon are the problematic cute Pokemon, but they have nothing on the Eeveelutions. Eeveelutions are even more uncreative, they're shoved down our throats more, and Eeveelution autists make Gew-druh autists look sane.

German names are so hit and miss.

On one hand:
>Arktos
>Zapdos
>Lavados

And then it went completely downhill after Gen III with shit like „Felknoil“ or „eF-eM“.

On the other hands there's some really great ones too:
>Flegmon (Slowpoke, derived from “phlegm”)
>Kindwurm (Bagon, „Kind“/“child”+„Lindwurm“/“wyvern”)
>Caesurio (Bisharp, “caesura”+“centurion”)

kickass name. Glad it wasn't dubbed. My biggest regret is having these dubbed :
Hitmonlee - Sawamura
Slaking - Kekking
Gorebyss - Sakurabyss
Hitmontop - Kapoera
Yanmega - Megayanma
Volcarona - Ulgamoth
Thundurus - Voltolos
Pyroar - Kaenjishi
Sylveon - Nymphia
Also here's some more horrible japanese names :
Drowzee - Sleep
Sandshrew - Sand
Arcanine - Windie
Scyther - Strike
Espeon - Eifi
Vespiquen - Beequeen
Krabby - Crab (honestly it's not bad considering they never knew pokemon would blow up)
Talonflame - Fiarrow

I don't want those Eevees because there would be no reason for other Eeveelutions to better their move pools

Eeveelutions usually have very strict movepools that only gets stricter as more Eeveelutions come out. There's no reason to create coverage for them when you can just cover them with an Eevee of appropriate typing.

I'd rather they make the 8 we have now better.
