And in the past, PSYDUCK. They put Psy in front of Duck. Zu Bat, Jiggly Puff, Pika (animal) Chu (squeak), Sand Shrew? The names now are MUCH more creative. MUCH MUCH MORE. Chandelure is much more creative than basically any 1st gen name. Snivy vs Bulbasaur? Well Bulbasaur is literally Bulb A Saur, which means "Dinosaur Bud" when put into a more modern context. Snivy requires more thinking to figure out that it's Snake + Ivy, and they removed letters from Snake to make it more clever. I mean, Ditto is literally just ditto, which is a synonym for "copy". Incredibly Cheesy. And yes, 3DS. They created a new product. Of course they are going to release it on their new product, especially when sales are low. Now people who truly love the Pokemon series will be forced to buy the 3DS. Being that most Pokemon players don't own a 3DS yet, this will increase their sales by A LOT. Plus, this was the same thing people said when Gameboy was moved to DS, but it was bound to happen. Don't complain about progress. You have 10 months to buy one so if you don't get one you really have no one to blame but yourself. Plus, your complaining means that you actually want it but are making it seem like you don't to justify not having one. Psychology. And Pokemon aren't always based off of animals. Victreebell, Ditto, Sunflora, Golem, Grimer, Claydol, Shuppet, Regice, etc are not possibly animals last time I checked. The incorporation of more non-living things is just a good idea for Pokemon. You can't support the argument that it's getting worse by any means. Every 5th gen Pokemon is cool in it's own way. It's getting much better through the years you need to play a lot more and realize that, or stop complaining. Because if it sucks that badly, then just don't play. Simple as that! If Pokemon sucks so badly in your opinion, then don't play and don't be on a Pokemon sight complaining about it. Just ignore it if it bothers you that much! Ignoring makes less people type posts like this that prove you wrong and make you feel bested.
