    well if i had to call or name a pokemon different it would be dusklops well if i could call dusklops something different it would probably be darklops its like the same thing but instead i thought well dusklops only comes out at night because its a ghost type pokemon and it comes out at night 😊

    litter ally i think i made that clear that it comes out at night right

    Conveyed that, yes.

    - Alomomola to Alolamola. Poisoned all attempts to spell it correctly since Sun/Moon. Fixes that.
    - Feraligatr to Allivour. Never liked Feraligatr's name. Might be the missing 'o' or the "feral" part. Swapped out one side of "alligator" for the other. Stole from "devour". (Other options: Allident (-dent for the Big Jaw Pokemon) and Crocovour. Might actually prefer Crocovour.)
    - Florges to Flouquet. Plays off of "bouquet". Originates from French.

    I'd fix Feraligatr to Feraligator because it looks weird and spelled incorrectly to me, has for years. Wouldn't change anything else, though, as I'm the type of person who has literally named a character Eggshell once, lmfao.
     
    My English is rather limited so it's hard to come up with good names for them, but these are names I don't like:

    -Mr. Mime & Mr. Rime: The "Mister" made-up by the localization makes no sense because they can also be female. I would change it to: Jumime (instead of Mime Junior), and maybe Mimester/Rimester (for m/rime + master) or something like that.

    -Type: Null. This doesn't even look like a Pokémon name.

    -Golem: Literally just... a golem, not a Pokémon name. Could have been Boulem or anything mixing two or more words like the big majority of Pokémon.

    -Kling, Klang, Klingklang: Seriously...
     
    As mentioned above, the Mr. in Mr. Mime has always bugged me too (even for the same reason rofl). Mr. Rime is newer, but has the same problem.
    For Mr. Mime, the german name: Pantimos is pretty good imo.
    Mr. Rime in german is Pantifrost and doesn't really fit though imo. It's classified as a Comedian pokemon, maybe mash that together: Rimedian? =p

    Kling, Klang, Klinklang has always seemed lazy to me =p
    Maybe named them based on types of gears?
    Spur gear for Klink: Spurlin
    Helical Gear for Klang: Heliklan
    Hypoid Gear for Klinklang: Hypoik
    (not that I know much about gear types, but found these googling =p)

    Also I feel like the base form Nidorans should just drop the gender icons in their names. The male one should just be Nidorino, the female one Nidorina. The middle forms would have to be renamed ofc. Current Nidorino could become Nidoprince and current Nidorina could become Nidoprincess for example. So:
    Nidorino -> Nidoprince -> Nidoking
    Nidorina -> Nidoprincess -> Nidoqueen

    I'm not going to lie but Nidoprincess is a little too long of a name. I like you idea regardless, though.

    I can see why people would change Mr. Mime, perhaps the same should be done for Seaking, since Seaking can be both male and female?

    Yea there's a couple mons with king in their name that can be both genders. Slowking and Kingdra are other examples. I wouldn't mind if they got their names changed too.

    Seaking's line is a bit weird though. Seaking has king in it and can be both genders. However, goldeen's nickname is ' the princess of the water' (Ultra Moon Dex entry), and can also be both genders. So it evolves from a mon considered feminine apparently, to one considered male and acquiring king in the name? I wonder wth they're doing at times when it comes to dex entries/mon name xD
    Seaking's name doesn't bother me that much though tbh, for some reason. Though I suppose if it were to be overhauled it would need to go too.

    Came here to address these very Pokemon but someone beat me to it. It's nice, at least, to see that I'm not the only one who thought of these guys.
    Here's what I would do:
    Nidolo -> Nidio -> Nidosso
    Nidola -> Nidia -> Nidossa
    It just uses bits of the Italian words for small, medium, and large with masculine and feminine versions.

    👍to this tbh

    I'd fix Feraligatr to Feraligator

    Probably this, too. I got used to its name the way it is now but I believe it was spelled that way because of the character limit? In which case it'd be good to make it fit but eh, guess they thought it wasn't a big deal/people got used to the existing name.

    I personally think calling this Pokemon Type: Null is brilliant since there's a theory that it's created and restrained by a helmet and the Pokedex cannot identify this newly created Pokemon so it gives an error instead of the actual Pokemon name. Once the helmet gets removed, this Pokemon finally has an identity and is known as Silvally.

    I remember watching a video years ago and how Panpour and Simipour should have been called Pansoak and Simisoak and I kind of agree with that since you have sear and sage which start with s and have 4 letters and then pour ruins the starting with s pattern whereas soak fits with both of that. I guess there's also Pansurf and Simisurf too, idk.

    Also, I guess the names for Pidgeotto and Pidgeot could be reversed since it feels kind of weird to have the final evolution just drop the letters over adding them same with Psyduck and Golduck because of colours.

    Ngl, I love Scraggy and Scrafty but I kind of wish they got better names but I cannot think of any but for now I'll appreciate the fact that I can say my fav Pokemon's name starts with an S and ends in crafty.

    Speaking of Feraligatr, Victreebel can be Victreebell now that the 10 character limit has been lifted.

    I'd call Sawsbuck a Calendeer (Calendar+Deer), sounds more fun to me than Sawsbuck and still works well with form changes based on the seasons.
     
    As stupid as this sounds I think Id do Coalossal, I'd rename him to Coalzilla a take on the monster it is losely based off of Godzilla, like Tyranitar is.
     
    Okay, I have to emphasize that I didn't come up with this myself, I heard it somewhere and can no longer find it, but I'm gonna drop it in here nonetheless:

    Melmetal -> Meltitan
