Grotle is decent.
I like Torterra, it sound a it like "torture" (even more in Swedish, where it's "tortera"). >8)
Monferno is obvious, but it fits perfectly for my pwning baboon :3
I hated Infernape when I first saw it, then I accepted it and now I like it, soon I'll adore it. It fits for my #1 fave :3
Prinlup is a bad name for a bad Pokemon, aka Pottaishi got what he deserved.
Staravia is... beautiful.
Staraptor is cool! :D
Bibarel - meh, I don't even care about the nasty tradition-breaking beaver.
Kricketune fits.
Purugly - OMG! HOW COULD THEY BE SO EVIL?! I HATE N. O. A. or whoever came up with this name! Fangirl: Poor Bunyatto, you aren't ugly, you're as hot that you should be Fire-type!
I can't get why they name Bunyatto something with "ugly" but not Pochama, Pottaishi or Enperuto... Or Aruseusu. Cyndaquil too, btw.
Stunky is cute.
Skuntank is cool.
I don't care about Drifblim.

The only possible motive for "Purugly" I can think of is that the Japanese name, Bunyatto, has something to do with ugliness too (it could be that this is just a translation of the Japanese name, similar to for example Treecko; "nya" is basically "meow", which one could see them changing to "purr" instead, and that leaves "bu" and "tto" possibly meaning something in the direction of "ugly"). I really can't see them randomly deciding, "Oh, we'll call this random Pokémon here "Purugly" just because I think it's ugly!"
Malachite Treecko
Meh. I don't like it anyway. >:(

At one forum someone says Earturtle would be a better name for Dodaitosu than Torterra XD
PichuPi
Well, at least Dodaitosu isn't named Eartoise. =P Anyway... my opinions on the names.

Grotle - Grovyle ripoff. Boo.
Torterra - It's nice, but won't make up for the fact that they almost used the "toise" syllable again.
Monferno - I thought they would have done that.
Infernape - Something with "Gorilla" in it would have fit better.
Prinplup - Sounds kinda cute, unlike how it REALLY looks like. Emperor penguin chicks look cuter than when they molt, anyway, so... yeah.
Staravia - I hope that that name is pronounced with a long a in the middle.
Staraptor - Meh.
Bibarel - I almost mistook it for "Bible". X_x
Kricketune - Nice and fitting. Kricketot = must catch.
Purugly - It might not be pronounced like Purr-ugly. It might be PURE-ugly. XD
Stunky - Just one leter away from Stinky!
Skuntank - O_o
Drifblim - No problems here. It's easier to pronounce than the previously "confirmed" name.
Malachite Treecko
GORILLA?! It is not a gorilla, it's a baboon/mandrill with Sun Wukong/Hanuman influence! It's as far from a gorilla as a monkey can be!
Tina
Going with Electivire, there's Buuburn's English name too! ...Magmortar. They slipped "ort" into a Magmar. Meh.

AND! Wait for it...Agunomuu's new name!! *dun* Azelf.
PichuPi
@Treecko: I meant it would be easier to manipulate so it sounds good. Infernape reminds me of diapers or rape. O_o

Anyway... Azelf sounds good. I bet the one for Emuritto's going to be Garnary or something. =P
Apocalypse Raichu
My friend came up with names for a suspiciously similar but much less awesome flaming monkey series a few months ago. their names were Scorchimp, Flamonkey and... Grilla. It makes me cringe just to write that.

So yeah, don't talk about Infernape. It has the potential to be unbelievably awful.
Lunar
Nice names. Some are okay, while others are good. I'll get used to all of them though, like with the RSE guys, even the ones I'm not so fond of.
Tina
Neorantu - Lumineon (sounds like an Eevee evolution XD)

Rotomu - Rotom (motor backwards, hehe)

Moar names!
