What's the best & worst Pokemon name?

[Xtacy]

So....disregarding stats, appearance, whatever...let's look at the names....

The pkmn creators have pulled off some great names (see: Aerodactyl, Rapidash), but have also given us equally lame ones (Plusle, Minun)...

So, which two Pokemon deserve the award for having the best and worst names?

My picks:

Best
Winner = Octillery
Runner Up =Aerodactyl
Reason: I never even paid much attention to this guy till I read it in IGNs Pokemon of the week. And the author was right. Octopus + Artillery = Best name ever created. It just rolls of the tongue, and sounds awesome.

Worst
Winner = Luvdisc
Runner Up = Minun
Reason: Yeah, I would really need a horrible name to pass the gibberish that is Minun, but Luvdisc conquers all. It needs no explanation why it is at the bottom. Everytime I hear ir I want to break something. It is just awful. What were those people thinking?

Best:Venusaur
Runner Up:Chimecho
Reason: because its my favorite Pokemon.

Worst
Best: Relicanth
Runner Up: Ditto
Reason WTF is a Relicanth, its sooo stupid

:t003:Dark Venusaur

In my opinion...

Best
Winner: Farfetch'd. I really don't know why I love that name, but I do. Maybe it's because of the random placement of the apostrophe. Maybe it's because it rolls off the tongue fairly easily. Maybe it's because it's not a lame duck pun.
Runner Up: Girafarig. Ah, there's nothing like a palindrome.

Worst
Winner: Nuzleaf. I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly quaking in my boots over this stage one Pokemon when the name makes me think of cuddling.
Runner Up: Luvdisc, although it's very close to being the winner here. Any name that partially uses chatspeak automatically loses in my book.

Best name is Ninjaska, because it sounds like ninja :P
Worst name is Muk, meanlingless name.

Someone is mucking Muk >O

On topic:

Best:
Pidgeot, it just sounds elegant to me, and elegant is the perfect word to describe Pidgeot
I also like Butterfree's name. It sounds as cute as Butterfree is :3

Worst:
Mewtwo gets the first place for the worst name. It's just Mew with the 'two' added there. Lame, anyone? >D
And in second place we have... Luvdisc, the name is just a random combination of the word 'love' spelled wrong and 'disc' -.-

i would agree to all of those but my winner is shiftry since it suites the pokemon being dark im not sure if u understand O_o

Most of the names from generation V are trubbish. Hehe... especially Klinkklang. Because it's pre-evolutions are Klink and Klang.
