We should all be letting 2-year-olds name our Pokémon

This is a great move if you want all your Pokémon to be named "Bunny."

We know that autocorrect is a fine source of Pokémon Go nicknames, but a 2-year-old's imagination is way better.

Imgur user June1920 named each of her Pokémon based on what her toddler called them: Metapod is "a moon," Caterpie is "um potato" and Magmar is, magnificently, "Claws Parrot." (Where did you catch that Magmar? Please tell us.)

Also, this kid sees bunnies everywhere -- not a bad thing.
