>you can't seriously defend a possessed sword as a creative idea when they've already had a handful of similar ideasThere's a difference between "similar" (a poltergeist haunting applicances / the spirit of a fallen warrior inhabiting his sword) and "exactly the fucking same" (pink heart-shaped fish / other pink heart-shaped fish). And a haunted sword may not be original in general, but there's certainly never been one in Pokemon before, so suck a fuck.
