On inanimate object pokemon, and why Klefki is the FUCKING worst

I fucking hate Klefki, I think it is the stupidest design in the series by a nice margin, but I'm tired of seeing the same fucking retorts every thread. Instead of defending Klefki, people just throw other pokemon under the bus. I'm going to through most of them and explain why I think inanimate object mons were mostly done naturally or with finesse up until like, gen 3.
>"W-w-well you can't hate Klefki because Grimer!"
Slime monsters are an extremely established JRPG trope to the point where it would be weird if Pokemon didn't have a slime monster. Same goes for robot monsters, and magnemite
>B-b-but Voltorb! Voltorb is just a circle!
Voltrob is a chest monster, another huge JRPG trope. I'm open to criticism on its design itself, but conceptually it is perfectly fine, and one of the only pokemon whose design actually affects gameplay. Putting voltorb on the same level as kelfki is laughable.
>Well Klefki is fine because Exeggcute is eggs, you genwunner!
Exeggcute is seeds though, see almost every pokedex entry. Obviously its design was inspired by eggs, someone at gamefreak realized some similarities between seeds and eggs, but seeds are fine.
