He's not entirely wrong. "Shiny" Pokémon are individuals of their species with unusual pigmentation- likely due to what would be genetics if Pokémon existed in the human world. Albinos are humans who lack or produce very little pigmentation meaning they look like they have unusual pigmentation, due to genetics. Both are uncommon.
If anything, him being able to make that connections shows some above average ability for connecting information together.

It can be hard to explain those things to a small child. Kudos for trying, though. If the lesson doesn't take, just try to laugh it off. Most people won't get too terribly pissed at a little kid for making those kinds of comments; adults generally get that little kids have no filter. And once the lil Pokemon trainer gets old enough, they'll realize the truth on their own.

Come back in about 10 years. If your cousin still thinks albinos are Shiny People then it's an fml.

They are not shiny people but a super rare type.

Thank you for relating the two. I didn't understand what liking Pokemon had to do with it.

I think me and your kid would get along very well. I had the same thought when I was 6.
