Just call it morbid curiosity. Was gamefreak the one that came up with the names like 'creation trio' or 'tao trio' or was it the community, which then became popular? Either way, which one were officially named by gamefreak or if the community named them, which ones were they? While I'm on it, what about the duos? I'm talking about the ones listed in these sites
