Are there any pokemon you would consider renaming? I can not think of any, but I know there are a few unoriginal or quirky names that could use a change so let me know what names come to mind for you?

Reviving this just so I can say that Grumpig should be called Groink just like it is in some other languages. Spoink, Groink? Amazing!

I think instead of Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash, they should've just called them Iceshrew and Iceslash, but referred to them as regional cousins like they do with Magikarp and Feebas. Would've been interesting. I still like them as is, though.

I don't think Magikarp and Feebas are considered related at all in official documentation though. Technically, the sand just turned to steel, right? :P

Technically? It probably turned into steel then moved to the tundra afterwards :P

Kinda silly one, but OkiDogi isn't a very menacing name for a giant ripped dog man. I think they should call it Gruff, so it's a pun on the word "gruff", but also "Grr" and "ruff" like what a dog says, plus it sounds much more blunt and heavier, and the shorter name...sticks.
