They're direct translations of the Japanese names (ie Tetsu-no-X, where X is a three syllable word) which have a much better flow and mouth feel than the english versions, even if the meanings are the same. This feels like a genre thing too, like that name more strongly implies a 'mecha anime' feel to me than the english names do. just kind of a hunch on this <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:979967346] in Pokemon of...
