>Farfetch'd
Based on a Japanese saying that essentially goes "a duck is not going to walk in with a leek", basically meaning something isn't just going to fall in your lap. So, that's why Farfetch'd is one of my favorite Pokemon. I just wish they would do something with it.

Elygem and Beheeyem's french names are Lewsor and Neitram, I find it funny each time I see it. Pallosand's is "Trepassable" ("Trepas" is a word for death, "Sable"=sand and Trepassable sounds like "Très passable"="Very meh")

Oricorio, it sounds like Ori for Ornithurae and Corio for Choreo or dance.
Haka mo'o as well since its name basically translates to war dance dragon.

why? the translation team is all bilingual. and there are a number of pokemon with foreign language puns in their names.

deino, zweilous, and hydreigon all have german numbers in their names (ein, zwei, drei) but their german names are different.

greninja's name includes the french word for frog (grenouille) but the french version of the game has a different name.
