>>26634009It's not that pokemon based on inanimate objects are bad, it's just bad when GF is lazy about it.
For example:
Vanillite line: Literally just ice cream. It's ice cream with a face. Evo line is just based on scoops.
VS
Bisharp line: Based on chess pieces, but extra design elements added to make it more interesting. (Dark typing, bandit theme, pawn promoting to bishop nod)
Basically, if they take an object and add eyes then call it a day, that's shitty. If they take an object and put time and thought in to the design and features, then it's fine.
