No, incorrect. Wallace would clearly have a Boltund. It's from Galar, has crazy fast paws, and any inventor would appreciate the free electricity.

When it comes to Pokémon, generally speaking, names in other countries tend to not resemble the Japanese names at all. The names in non-Japan countries are purely up to whatever the localisers think make a good name. Pikachu is the exception, not the rule. Best example is Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. In Japan, they're just called Freezer, Thunder, and Fire.

And good gravy Freezer Thunder and Fire would’ve been boring ass named.

The names in non-Japan countries are purely up to whatever the localisers think make a good name. Pokemon is a good example of where the localised names are better than the Japanese ones. The Japanese name are a bit too literal sometimes. Kakuna is just Cocoon, for example. Quote Pikachu is the exception, not the rule. There's a lot of Pokemon that kept their Japanese names, Raichu, Porygon, Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi, Rotom, Lucario. Unless I've misunderstood what you meant here.

Unless I've misunderstood what you meant here. Oh, I wasn't literal with Pikachu being the only one, more of a general consensus that Pokémon names rarely match the Japanese ones. Like you said, it's for the better. 30 minutes ago, Ike said: Jolteon is called Thunders which is pretty confusing sometimes. That one is very amusing, it's in the same generation, did no-one think to ask if it was too similar?
