Exactly!
I never got the hype and later disappointment for the "Smugleaf" name, it wasn't a clever pun at all nor catchy to me. It was just dumb.
In fact, I hated all the stupid nicknames people made up for the Gen V Pokemon before we knew their English names, like Wotter, Gaterrain, there were a lot more idiotic ones that became memetastic and it was just obnoxious. Thank GOD the global release has mostly eliminated that practice, it made the Gen V pre-release unbearable when people were throwing around all these nicknames, sometimes inconsistently, when you had perfectly good Japanese names to use which aren't even hard to remember.
Don't kid yourself most pokemon names are dumb puns anyways. Anyways #teamindecisive for me! Can't decide between froakie or fennekin but I do know that chespin is an eye sore
