Anger about the modern day era

The reason why he nicknamed his username "Metal Bird" is because he likes birds and one of his all-time favorite Pokémon is Skarmory. His High School mascot also happens to be a armored knight, which reminds him of Skarmory. Also, he even has a Skarmory that's nicknamed "Metal Bird."
Metal Bird re-watched Pokémon 3: The Movie and the piolet episode of Pokémon on April 1, 2007 (the same day that marked the ten-year annerversery of the launch of the TV series.
