What Pokémon would you change the name of?
Are there any Pokémon whose names you don't like, or you feel you have a more fitting one?
My pick for this would be Wobbuffet. Its English name fits well with its theme as a living punching bag, since it wobbles around when hit and buffets the foe back, but doesn't translate the pun of its original Japanese name, which translates to "That's the way it is." I think the name I'd pick for it would be "Deelwiffit", or something similar — it gets the original name's pun across better, and that way, even its name acts as a taunt to the opponent when it traps their precious Pokémon and annihilates it with a strong Counter or Mirror Coat.

Why is Jynx named Jynx? It's just a human-looking thing. Also why is it an ice type? So many questions about this weird Pokémon.

Zebstriker should have been called Zapidash. Yes, it is a terrible pun.

@D-ManBlue Litten isn't bad on the face of it, though to my mind it sounds too close to 'litter' and the zoomerspeak 'lit'.
