well, i haven't really researched the newer pokemon, so i wouldn't know about them.. but, grimer and muk are pretty much just sludge, but their little story is that they're peoples' pollution which came to life. why, i don't know. and gloom, it's a flower that produces a staunch aura to protect itself. little stories and reasons. i don't quite get vanillite. i have not read anything that it is indeed an icecream pokemon, but its form.. of all forms. i have yet to understand the reasoning behind it. and, garbador is pretty much in the same vein as muk, imo. he looks to be garbage that has come to life, i guess? but, as i said, i played the games, but they haven't interested me enough to check them out, the pokemon. it's probably a case of close-mindedness, and i'm sure people are charmed by them, but they're just not on my interest list. i like a few newer pokemon, tho. like tynamo, lilligant, beheeyem. mienfoo.. minccino.. well, a lot of 'em, actually. but, if anything, i'll look into them more. i'll try to get passed everything.
