It can depend something like Squirtle,Caterpie or Skitty can be very obvious.But then Pokemon like Rayquaza,Torterra and Zorua aren't as obvious so really it can depend.
Some are, some aren't. I mean, if you take names like Furret, Skitty, Zubat, Grumpig, Ponyta or Combee then yeah, but if you take some like Darumanitan, Lapras, Natu, Milotic, Oddish, or Blitzle then no.
Some can be really cute with obvious names though :)
