I'm glad they didn't keep Gear as the name for Klink (sorry ShinE). That would be too boring. Klink is simple but not exactly a word many people use in a sentence that often.

I like pretty much all of the names, but my favorite names are the three monkeys. It fits them so well that it makes me wonder what they're going to do about their evolutions.

The only names that disconcerted me were Pidove, Blitzle and Darmanitan. Pidove because that's really close to Pidgey (at least Pidove makes more sense for the pokemon). Darmanitan because it looks more like a gorilla than an orangutan. Now Bliztle was a little weird for me at first, but Bulbapedia reminded me that blitz means lightning in German. Though it can be argue that the name does sound too similar to Buizel, I think its an adequate name. However they do need to have an awesome name for Zeburaika simply because it deserves one.

Minccino is an interesting name. I have to admit that it rolls off the tongue better than Chillarmy. It makes me think that its evolution will retain its Japanese names, but who knows. I thought they would keep Chillarmy, but they didn't. The only name they did keep was Munna's which is OK by me.

As for the ability names: I think they're fitting. Big Pecks refers to birds large breasts especially pigeons', and the more correct translation for the Japanese name is Pigeon Breast and not Pigeon Heart. I also think Big Pecks is more fitting because the Pidove-line isn't the only Flying-type line that can learn it naturally. The Koaruhie and Baruchai-line can both learn it.
