Our side can be overly glib about this as well. The designers put honest work into conveying the real world inspirations behind newer Pokemon and the increasingly clever implementation of such. Just because you don't want to learn the context behind why it works doesn't mean it's bad; if anything you're being lazy by not trying to understand and just calling it shit because that's easy.
