I agree with Jigglyclops on the former. Volcamel especially.

Well...
Heatros instead of Heatran.
Plasmoore instead of Rotom.
Plasma and Moore.
I think a moore is something to do with ghosts.

Tigrowl. (Growlithe---Tiger + Growl. Since it looks like a tiger, and a shishi, from which it is based on, shares traits with tigers.)
Tigrace or Tigrand. (Arcanine---Tiger+Race, referring to its speed, or Grace, referring to its grace in running) (Tiger+Grand, as it is large, powerful and majestic.)
Charcolt: (Ponyta---Charcoal + Colt)

Sableye, Lvl. 9 (approx.) (male)

Tiquail, Lvl. 7 (female)

Normgon, Lvl. 6 (female)

Sunny (Sunkern) Lvl. 7 (female)

Grubva, Lvl. 7 (male)

Dark Ariados is released.

Just one thing - torch in Torchic comes from the verb, not the noun. :P
Now, as for alternative names... I had some, but I don't remember any...
Um. My friend said something like Eartle for Turtwig. (Earth+Turtle), but we both agree Turtwig is better.

Heh, that reminds me of Le Quack, the evil duck in Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Ursaring:
(sorry these names are not as fitting as before. I simply wanted my post to consist of more than a comment, and be constructive.)
Ursargent. (Ursine + Sarge, shortened form of Sergeant---referring to its shoulder fur, which resembles military epaulets.)
Berage (Old English Bera/Bear, + rage)
Bearserk (Bear, and berserk)/Urserker (Ursine + berserker)

Sableye, Lvl. 9 (approx.) (male)

Tiquail, Lvl. 7 (female)

I think some (perhaps most) of your new names are actually better than the originals, Coolsteph.

Hmm, now I have to think of some...

How about... Mandibull for Pinsir. Mandible + Bull... because it has horns like a bull? Okay, possibly that's a weak reason :P

Trilockle = Trilobite + Sickle (Kabutops)

Anadache for Psyduck (Anatidae (duck family) + Headache) & Anatri for Golduck (Anatidae + Tri, referring to the fact that it seems to have three eyes (I think the third one is based off of a mind's eye))?

Selenawn (SELENa + swAWN) for Cresselia. Drakquall (DRAKe + sQUALL) for Rayquaza (actually making a reference to its ties to flying and the air instead of a quasar (??? where did that even come from?)). Not necessarily better, but at least it doesn't make obscure references to outerspace (everything with Gen III was space!) in it.

Flamare (FLAMe+MARE) for Ponyta/Rapidash.

I am an artist, although a pathetic one. Check out my fakemon, Zelda, Harry Potter, and other types of art on my dA profile, found here: http://euclidofthexenons.deviantart.com/

I read for fun and entertainment, not because I have to. When bored, I flip through a dictionary. I hope to write a 300+ page novel one day, and have gathered several ideas.

I play Pokemon for fun and for inspiration. Not to trade with unfamiliar people or battle them over the Internet.

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 much better. :P

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 hurt for a pokémon game to be translated? Ah well... I suppose I wouldn't like it if ALL games were translated.

Ooh! I love this!

Smoochum - Pekgal ("peck"+ "gal")
Jynx - Kissona ("kiss" + "kona", Old Norse for woman, playing on its resemblance to the fat viking singer opera lady that's stereotypically operatic)

Eevee - Dyivee (D-I-V, from "diverse")
Vaporeon - Ossion ("ocean" + "-tion", me made-up Eeveelution ending, tied to "evolution")
Jolteon - Blition ("blitz")
Flareon - Vultion ("volcano", "vulcan")
Espeon - Hition (Japanese "hi", sun)
Umbreon - Tsukition (Japanese "tsuki", moon)
Leafeon - Silvation (Latin "silva", forest (or something like that, I think))
Glaceon - Arction ("arctic")

Wailmer - Jygwhal ("gigantic" + "whale")
Wailord - Jygwhantic ("gigantic" + "whale" + "Atlantic")

Nidoran F - Pinnit F ("pin" + "rabbit" + "pin it")
Niforina - Pinsew ("pin" + "sew")
Nidoqueen - Pinady ("pin" + "lady")
Nidoran M - Pinnit M (same as above)
Nidorino - Pinike ("pin" + "spike")
Nidoking - Pinord ("lord" + "pin")

Meowth - Felulet ("feline" + "amulet")
Persian - Felisticus ("Felis domesticus")

Diglett - Holmol ("hole" + "mole")
Dugtrio - Burromore ("burrow more")

Jigglypuff - Singuwae ("sing away")
Wigglytuff - Singyerart ("sing your heart [out]")

Venonat - Furthropod ("fur" + "arthropod")
Venomoth - Mothropod ("moth" + "arthropod")

This one was fun to make, and is kind of Hoppip-Skiploon-Jumpluff like in that it has a series of words in the evolution that go together:

Pidgey - Feathence ("feather" + "thence")
Pidgeotto - Highence ("high" + "hence")
Pidgeot - Flywence ("fly" + "whence?")

And this last one is my favorite:

Unown - Gliff ("glyph")

I have more, since I did the first 54 Pokémon, but I don't want to type any more.
