Nothing. Pokémon has had references to internet memes since at least gen IV.

Then why the fuck is the K there? Origin or not, you can't deny that's on purpose.

Same reason there's a seal called Seel or a primate called Primeape. Pokémon names aren't just real words per verbatim.

Japanese names are puns so you either localize it with memes or it becomes a literal name translation that makes no sense.

It's a spanish-based region. Its name comes from a spanish word. Sprigatito. Fuecoco.
You're too obsessed with zoomers.

I don’t give a fuck about the justification or the supposed thought process. Someone clearly and intentionally wanted to give a Pokemon a meme name. This is literally the first Pokemon I have ever seen which I will 100% be giving a nickname if it has a good looking evo.

Because we hispanics love memes.

Lechonk has "Lechón" which means pig in spanish, it's other way to call them.

I still want to know if James Turner is directing the designs again, because it sure looks like not much has changed from G8's weak lineup despite the starters looking way better this time.

Keep in mind that this is the same localization team that allowed the name Sneasler to get greenlit.
