What is the funniest Japanese name for a Pokemon? For me it's Fokko.

What the fuck were they thinking giving such similar names to completely unrelated Pokemon?

Most English translations are good; not all of them though. Splash, Acid Armor, Baddy Bad.

Are the straightforward names mostly a gen 1 thing? Like I know Scorbunny is called "Hibani" which is a pun, so when exactly did they begin with puns instead of literally just an animal/element? Did this carry over after gen 1?

Most of the names are puns even in gen 1, there's just a couple outliers, some of which have been mentioned in this thread, just like the English names also have outliers like "Seel."

For example, Bulbasaur:
>Fushigidane literally means "isn't it strange?" and is also a pun on 不思議種 fushigidane (mysterious bulb).

Genwun names are either puns or just literal respelling of words like Jynx, Seel, Koffing, Weezing, Muk, ect.
Meanwhile later games also have straightforward names like Shelmet, Talonflame, Aegislash, Sandile ect.
