With James and the UK region, they're probably being designed with English names in mind. Pokemon names are exactly what you describe in all languages, but especially so for Japan.

Because portmanteaus are nice ways of combining ideas that roll off the tongue. They also inspire more creativity in most cases than stuff like Krabby

Pokemon having pun names has been a thing since the start, and is also part of their endearing quality. Dumb fag. Stupid fag. Faggity fag. Shut up.

The point is that they're not painfully obvious - shit like Polteageist and Purrserker are, you say them and they don't sound like monsters with their own identity.

it doesn't get much more obvious than swadloon. you're grasping at straws to justify a retarded nostalgia-driven opinion.
