(You mean Deerling < Vivaldeer, if you think Vivaldeer is a better name. The beak points to the smaller one.)

Piniplump instead of seel and piniprince instead of dewgong coming from piniped (the class seals fall into) and plump or prince respectivelly. Also tyrouge should have been hitmontyke IMO.

I am proud of the name I gave Mandibuzz:Zopilmama (zopilote+pilmama)I translated a lot of the names in Spanish in my frustration of it being still in English, I think they came out pretty good. I still didn't mind if the names weren't changed, would it hu...

I hate Lillipup. My replacement for it is Terruff (TERRier +RUFF). I know it's not very good, but it's better. I hate Mandibuzz as well. I'd replace it with Scavillain (SCAVenger+VILLAIN). Btw, I love how even though I hate these names, my names aren't...
