Similarly to how Phantump is just a portmanteau of phantom and stump.
[A pause.] An interesting theory, but consider this alternative--all Pokémon once communicated exclusively through what sounded as though they were mimicking their name. We already know that Pokémon are equally, if not more intelligent than human beings. Once humans came into play in this dimension, they named all of these Pokémon after the sounds that they made, and over time, certain Pokémon lost the ability to communicate using these sounds in favor of more simplistic vocalizations.
[Ever since he came up with the theory that humans are the domesticated species of this dimension and was validated by Ford he hasn't stopped thinking about it.]
