Is the Beldum family objectmons?
I can't tell what they took inspiration from other than maybe crabs and the magnemite line.

Not objectmons.
That doesn't mean they are natural though.

They're based on objects and object-like properties (including some animal properties too,) but aren't just an object with a cutesy face.

Depends on your definition of objectmon.

What blatant object are magnemite? They're more than just magnets.

Either way, by your definition, they aren't objectmon.

This.
It always bothers me when people try to sideline Magnemite with mons like Vanilluxe. Magnemite has magnets, but it isn't just a magnet with a face slapped on it.

Beldum is a dumbbell robot, Metang and Metagross are just robots.

Magnemite is a metal ball with two horseshoe magnets for arms and three screws.
It's more like a robot than just a bunch of magnets.

I feel like the issue is that magnemite is unmistakably magnets and screws attached to a metal ball and that's enough for it to be called an objectmon

I much prefer the term artificial for it seeing as it looks composed of objects instead of representing a single one.

It's a robot, just a robot that needs to consume flesh and blood.

In fact I think almost every objectmon/artificial Pokémon eats poke beans/puffs, if not all of them. Pokémon are weird.

According to the Moon Pokedex, that's exactly right, at least for Metang.

>It adores magnetic minerals, so it pursues Nosepass at speeds exceeding 60 mph.

The problem isn't just being based on an object. Is it being way too straight-forward (slapping an eye on an object and calling it a Pokémon), and, more importantly, the design being outright ugly.

That's why I like Magnemite line (they are more like a tiny robot than just the object themselves, as it's been said. Also, the design is cool), dislike the Vanilite line (pretty much ice cream with eyes, and ugly as fuck), and hate Klefki (literal keys, not even cartoonish keys).

And no, I'm not a genwunner at all.

Still me.

Magneton, on the other hand, deserves the criticism for being a lazy evolution. It was barely acceptable back then just because it was a new concept (Pokémons in general were all new). But as far as gen 5 it shouldn't be acceptable anymore, so Klink's evolutions are annoying as fuck. Plus, they're literally Gears with eyes.

"objectmon" is only a design flaw when theyre supposed to be naturally mimicking something that doesnt occur in nature, ie fucking ice cream
if its a ghost possessing an inanimate object, ie rotom, or an organic creature holding or utilizing man-made objects, ie magnemite, thats not a design flaw, youre just whinig about it not being animal-derivative abstract enough for your person tastes which isnt a valid criticism
and while the metagross family is kinda weird looking theyre not really designed to look like anything in particular, wheres the "object"
