Honest answer: Because I hate Slaking and it's family. I never liked it, and raising up a Slaking was the single most annoying part of completing my Pokédex.

Sensible answer: As a pokémon that evolves from a sloth, I still think of it as a sloth. It does slightly resemble an ape, but it's nature is still based on a sloth. As for Hihi, his only reference to an Orangutan is his English name, his Japanese name even means Baboon. Unlike Slaking he has the body posture of a Gorilla, and a similar nature.
Pokémon never take reference from just one animal, or aspect of life, otherwise it would just be real life but with pokéballs. The way you see each Pokémon differs from person to person. Look at Maril's line, I personally see them as rabbits, though my girlfriends sees mouse. Neither of us is wrong, there are clear references to both species.
To be honest, I've never thought of Pikachu as a mouse, despite being an "Electric Mouse" Pokémon. I always just saw Pikachu.

If you're going to accuse me of stealing art then you can at least dignify me with a response or an apology.

Um... Okay, I'm going to assume you've found this due to the Pokemon part and haven't heard of OOO. Sorry if this is incorrect.

Kamen Rider OOO is a popular Japanese action show, akin to Power Rangers (there's more with the history there, but that's not needed here). The main character uses the power of three animals to become Kamen Rider OOO, a costumed hero. On the chest of said costume is an emblem symbolising the three animals. [link]
While AlphaVector, a DA member I'm very aware of, makes images showing the actual symbols used in the show, this is a parody of the show's idea, using Pokemon instead of the animals.

AlphaVector and I are both using other peoples idea here, so I guess technically yes, you could call it stolen, but I don't think that's quite fair as mine is obviously an attempt to entertain those who know both Pokemon and OOO, and AV's work is meant to provide the fanbase with neater line work of the symbols seen in the show so we can use them for signatures, avatars, etc and not have to rely on bad-quality screen caps. (I'd like to add that anyone using AV's art should ask permission or advertise his DA, as I would request with my work.)

If you do know both OOO and pokemon and are actually claiming that my submission is the same image as AVs then I don't really know what to say. They're quite obviously different images...

Thanks! The details at either side were just random designs at first then I realised they looked like his hands XD I'm really happy with how that one turned out specifically.
