I tried searching to see if brand or trademarked names can be used in street names and couldn’t find what i was looking for so i have no idea if this is permissible or not.
On another note Las Vegas does have some cool street names. I used to live in Anthem, near Henderson and that neighborhood had astronomical/science themed street names and always made me happy when i drove by. It would be pretty rad to live in this pokemon neighborhood.

…a developer needs to figure out how many roads there will be, and then submit twice as many names for them, in case some can’t be used for any reason.

It’s not the first time Harmony Homes have used interesting themes to name roads on their developments - in North Las Vegas you can find a neighbourhood made up of Paw Patrol inspired streets!
Lots of choices with Pokemon, but as already noted you’ll probably get a cease & desist regardless of whether a law has actually been broken. If it’s just the characters, Paw Patrol seems more limited, but you’re more likely to get away with it.
If they weren’t limited to Generation I, Luvdisc had a saccharine 'dex entry.
We can’t stop here, this is Zubat country.

In my subdivision they bulldozed the native prarie then named all the streets after the extirpated plants.
