    Title sayts it all. SOmething should be changed in gen 5 maybe?
    Poliwrath/poliwhirl
    seel/dewgong
    kraby/kingler
    mankey/primape
    bayleef/meganium
    grimer/muck
    ponyta/rapidash
    nidoran line
    abra line
    clefairy line


    anyone think of any others??
     
    I think the whole Bulbasaur series looks a little too much alike. I mean, I know they get bigger and so on and the plant looks different, but the Bulbasaur itself never really changes. I have always been bothered by that, lol.
     
    Pikachu and Pichu look a bit too alike. Also, the Spheal line is very similar to itself
     
    I like them like that, because its more beleiveable that they evolved from that. I like pokemon to resemble animals and such. Hence why the first and second gen had the best pokemon (looks wise)

    another example is:

    koffing/weezing
    machop line
    squirtle line
    eeveelutions
    ponyta/rapidash
    arcanine/growlithe
    gligar/gliscor
    mankey/primeape (sort of)
    tangela/tangrowth
    porygons
    sandshrew/slash
    voltorb/electrode (granted there wasnt much room to work with)
    magnemite/magneton
    skitty/delcatty
    roselia/roserade
    marill line
    munchlax/snorlax
    magikarp/gyarados (that one was a joke)
    goldeen/seaking
    horsea line

    i think thats enough for now

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Diglett and Dugtrio. Dugtrio is basically 3 Digletts together who appear to be pissed off for no reason.
     
    I didn't see it so I'm sorry if someone already said this but, Tentacool and Tentacruel are very similar.
     
    I thought Phione and Manaphy looked alike. =)
     
    They did nothing to Poliwhirl when they evolved it to Poliwrath o.o
    Poliwrath has slanted eyebrows....thats it. it appears to be iritated...
     
    I heartily disagree with Bayleef/Meganium. For goodness sake, they're a different color altogether!

    Tangela/Tangrowth does upset me sometimes though.
