http://arcadesushi.com/lazy-pokemon-names-ekans-10/ So, as some here might know, I used to be a massive Pokemon fan. The only reason I never got into Diamond/Pearl was because I didn't have a DS at the time. But from what I've seen, Pokemon names are REALLY getting bad. Like...wtf bad. I know of someone who doesn't give a shit because he takes the games a wee bit too seriously, but I don't take them that seriously. =P At the same time, I realize that not every Pokemon from the first generation was named all that well. Maybe I'm just seeing things with a new perspective and it pisses me off when names look so lazily put together.
Out of the original 150 pokemon, here are the ones that I think are extremely lazy and easy to spot. These look like they were all made up in 1 afternoon, all all of them look like the word they are. There's 50 here, 1/3 of the total. The 150 Original Pokemon 1. Bulbasaur 2. Ivysaur 3. Venusaur 7. Squirtle 8. Wartortle 10. Caterpie 12. Butterfree 14. Kakuna 15. Beedrill 16. Pidgey 19. Rattata 21.
