Nicknames?

Well, I don't necessarily "hate" them, but I have to agree with you on some points about the Gen V Pokemon. A lot of them are based on artificial human-created things, and could never have really come from nature.

Magneton. Electrode. Muk. Porygon. I'd also like to posit that all of these Pokemon can breed and I was nice and left out a few exceptions that can be argued as "man made" as well.

Not to mention that a fire monkey based on Japanses myth and a plain fire monkey are not the same thing. Just because you mistook them as the same thing DOES NOT mean that they are.

PS: They've been doing Normal/Flying bird lines ever since GSC. Hoothoot and Tailow are pretty unique but it can be argued that Starly is also just a polished Pidgey, when in reality, at the ends of their respective evolution lines they all look very very different.

PSS: It's fine that you don't like the 5th gen Pokemon, it just bugs the ever loving shit out of me when people say they don't like them because of such and such when such and such just so happens to be a completely bullshit, baseless reason.
