Something else of note is how Game Freak apparently misspelled some of the Pokémon names even in Japanese like クルス Cruz (Portuguese for "cross"). Given that its evolutions are アクア Aqua and アクエリア Aquaria, Cruz doesn't make sense and they likely meant to type クルーズ Cruise.

IMO it would make sense to correct the obvious typos, like Waste → West or Cruz → Cruise.

I don't know where Waste came from, but it'll be fixed for sure! 😊

Should the original 1-151 switch to using English names?
Yes. Most people don't have the Japanese names memorised. (I sure don't - when the subject came up on Discord I tried to recall one off the top of my head and I got it wrong. (It was Spearow, but I remembered Onisuzuku rather than Onisuzume.)
Should any Gen 2 mons use their final English names, and if so, how similar do they have to be to the final design? Yadoking is obviously Slowking, but Chikorita's Japanese name changed from SW97 to the final (as did its middle evolution), and Two-Head/Ariados changed its name and design.
Personally: a Pokemon should get its English names if it's recognisable as what we got in the final release. (As such, the list would go Chikorita, Hanamogura, Meganium, Honooguma, Dynabear, Volbear, Kurusu, Aqua, Aquaria, Hoothoot, Noctowl, Mareep, Flaaffy, Ampharos, Mikon, Monja, Jaranra, Mantine, Qwilfish, Shibirefugu, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Quagsire, Natu, Xatu, Gyopin, Marill, Manbo1, Ikari, Gurotesu, Crobat, Para, Spinarak, Ariados, Skarmory, Animon, Hinaazu, Sunflora, Phanpy, Donphan, Twins, Girafarig, Smeargle, Koonya, Rinrin, Berurun, Politoed, Slowking, Unown, Ledyba, Ledian, Puchikorn, Espeon, Umbreon, Turban, Betobaby, Remoraid, Octillery, Tyrogue, Hitmontop, Pudi, Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Baririina, Smoochum, Elekid, Magby, Bellossom, Tsubomitt, Miltank, Bomushikaa, Delibird, Kotora, Raitora, Madame, Norowara, Kyonpan, Murkrow, Blissey, Scizor, Plucks, Houndour, Houndoom, Wolfman, Warwolf, Porygon2, Nameeru, Steelix, Kingdra, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Sneasel, Ho-oh, Togepi, Snubbull, Aipom, Leafeon.)

That's speculation, and I find it implausible that Game Freak would misspell a name they made up in their own language. That said, romanising it as "Cruz" or "Cruise" is also presumptuous - the only honest representation until we can interrogate a Game Freak employee or something and find out more is Kurusu.

I think this is without question.

@ketsuban’s proposal seems good enough. I would also settle for only translating names that are completely unchanged from the final. But I think this is a good list.

I have this version here of the DexEntries with the 151 English names if needed!

I don't see why we shouldn't use the English names where available. It improves consistency with pokegold/pokecrystal, and it also makes things more comprehensible to a reader. Example: Yadon is Slowpoke's Japanese name, but an english-speaker might not always know that. This disassemblies comments/documentation are in English, after all.
