I used to think that KHR has really weird ship names, but Pokemon is even weirder... maybe because they have so many ships and I see no connection between some and their names. D:

I've only played the games and read the manga, but apparently some characters in, say, the manga are completely different from how they are characterized in the anime - thus resulting in different ship names, as well. It's really confusing. @_@ Which games did you play?
