Forretress could be from "turret" + "fortress"

Milotic: lotic means calm water or moving water (I forget which, the other being lentic); not sure where "mi" comes from

Hmmm... I always thought Shieldon was Shield+On as in the SHIELD is "ON" its head, or it could be a combination of the words SHIELD and MastodON(which is an ancient species of elephant which lived around the Ice Age). Or the name could be poking fun at those (in)famous HeadOn commercials they show during daytime TV and 24 hour news channels.

I also thought Bastiodon was a combination of the words BASTIlle(which was a French prison, and it's face plate looks like a castle) and MastODON.

I could be wrong though, since I just checked Wikipedia on this.

Stunky could be the words Skunk+Stinky or Stunk+Stinky put together. I believe Skuntank is a combination of the words Skunk+Tank.

I'm definately not sure about this, but I think Shaymin's name combines the two words Shy and Mini.

Yeah Daisuke is right you didn't get Darkrai's name meaning right,

Darkrai's name comes from Dark+Kurai which is Dark (English) and Kurai (Japanese word for dark)
Hacks I'm currently working on (at a super slow pace):

Chinpokomon Big/Small (would leave the titles, but apparently exceeded sig limit)

Theories...

For Cleffa, its probably Clef + Fa (you know, if you take music, you know the 7 notes....Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do)

Meditite is meditate, only its spelled different to make it more interesting. XD

Medicham is meditate + champion.

Deoxys is deoxyribonucleic acid. with an S.

Hope these helps

erm.. also Clef as in double clef

and for gyarados

could come from gyakusatsu massacre/slaughter, and gyakkyō, hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The dos may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line

i think dos means the same for all poke's tht have it at the end ariados..
