I meant that a tradition of the pikaclones is that their English name is, like Pikachu, kept the same as the Japanese name (with some small differences like Emolga vs. Emonga). Pawmi's Japanese name is Pamo.

This exactly.
Plus, until Emolga/Emonga, every pikaclone had the exact same name in both english and japanese. If Emolga brought some level of flexibility to that, there is nothing keeping a pikaclone from expanding it further or even having a complete different name and throwing that pattern away.
Pawmi's Japanese name is パモ (Pamo). I don't see how else its name should be romanized.

Emolga's name was changed because it contained an offensive slang term in it.

I think what hints at Pawmi being the Pikaclone is the Electric-typing, based on a small rodent and having the circles on its cheeks.
Emolga is so far the only Pikaclone to have its name partially changed from the original Japanese, due to the presence of “Mong” in its name. It’s an offensive British term towards those with Down Syndrome, so it was clearly changed to avoid implications of ableism.

It seems to me GF know exactly what they're doing then cuz wasn't Wooloo one of the first SwSh revealed too? Also similar with H Growlithe everyone seemed to lose their minds over that too

It's not necessarily fluffy, but I would really like a Poison/Fairy Paras and Parasect based on white mold.
Paras is a very interesting Pokemon to get a regional form/new final evolution as there's a lot that can be done. I've mentioned wanting to see a Parasect evo- My suggestion for the Evolution was Grass/Dark- (as what remained of the insect was completely transformed into mushroom). I've also seen some good ideas for a Paras line where the mushroom isn't part of the body and they are pure bug (and we could see a completely non corrupted line for it). Poison/Fairy is the first time i've seen that suggest but typewise it'd be an interesting mix of types and with the right design could be very cool.

But I think that would require a whole different Regional Evolution then, since Paras is pretty much a fungus-infected cicada nymph (like Nincada) so a Paras variant not infected by he fungus would likely evolve into a cicada-like Regional Evolution rather than Parasect.
To differenciate it from Ninjask said evolution could be themed around the powerful sound a mature Cicada makes. Maybe combine the idea with a lightning bug and make it Bug/Electric, with that cicada sound being represented by electric humming?
Or maybe bug-psychic, with the humming being a telepathic power that overwhelms intruders and opponents by tricking their minds into hearing a deafening cicada song.
That would be my hope. As much as I like Parasect I would be hoping for a new direction if not infected with mushroom. As for the electric idea I would be onboard with that as a concept.

It’s Kalos season!
As for what the new fluffy and cute regional variant should be, I want Houndour to get a new regional form.

I'm liking Pawmi more and more the more I look at it--especially the official art. I like how it can inflict status with Static, or cure its own status with Natural Cure. The concept of a Pokémon with Volt Switch having Natural Cure is pretty cool. Since it seems special to Nemona, it might evolve--differentiating it from other pikaclones (Pikachu itself has an evolution, so why can't a pikaclone?).
Lechonk is just glorious--from name to design... everything. I could see it going in different directions typing-wise when it evolves: I could see it becoming Normal/Fighting, Normal/Fairy, or Normal/Ground. That's partly why I hope it has split evolutions.
I don't like Smoliv though. It, uhh... gives me the heebie jeebies.

You! Me! Rivals! Yes?
There should be a cutscene where Lechonk says "It's Chonkin Time" and chonks all over the Legendary.

That’s Detective Viper to you
Only if Lechonk is voiced by Jason David Frank

I heard the rumors about the idea of Mega Evolution returning to this Game, were the idea of Dynamax/Gigantamax in Pokémon Sword and Shield really that unpopular?
Is it true? if so, Please elaborate it to me about the return of Mega Evolution to clear that rumor up.

It's BS. Mega Evos likely aren't coming back until we get Gen 6 remakes.

Ah thanks for the answer, I'm confused about it returning to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet but it's better for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet not to have a Gimmicks.
