I think if they had JUST taken the front part of a name and then chucked "ite" on, it would be better. Like purposely only put a few letters, rather than trying to use the entire name + "ite." Like Houndite. Or Steelite. Or Heracrite. Or Pidgite. Even if "houndite" could mean Houndoom, OBVIOUSLY it's not, and same with the other "Pidg-"s in the family.
Yeah i know! There is like no consistency, it drives me crazy! Like sure it seems they are just trying to include the whole name of the Pokemon but then you have Heracronite??? Yet Metagross' is called Metagrossite! WHAT?!
