I think the reason we don't like most of them isn't just because they sound odd, but if you look at how Pokemon's names are translated, the name is a mix of some of the traits the Pokemon is (Charmander = Char + Salamander; Sandile = Crocodile + Sand). The only name on that list that is close to that is Escarglow (I bet Nintendo would've used that if they made a Lightning snail). However, the rest of them are just translations of the Jap. one are there isn't much creativity to some of them in my opinion. It like if Nintendo named Squirtle "Squirt Turtle" or Charmander "Char Salamander"

I like that these screens give a more accurate representation of the actual graphics in-game than a lot of the Japanese magazine scans tended to. They're still pretty.
I don't understand why they changed any of the names for the Dream Eaters. It's not like they've changed the names of Sora, Riku and Kairi. And it's not like there won't be enough recognizable Western material (i.e. everything Disney) that a cast of Dream Eaters with Japanese names would alienate an English speaking audience. Besides, the Dream Eater names were...well, they were what they were as is, which was not exactly what I would call genius...but really? Meow Meow? Frog Chef? The cheap Pokemon rip-off factor has just been reinforced ten-fold.
That was my whole point.No that's an insult to Pokemon.
I need to figure out which one's name is going to be Master Swagganort. It needs to be deserving of the name though, definitely not Wondernyan.
