1) archetypes repeated in all generations, i.e. starters, early route rodents, birds, quickly evolving bugs, fish Pokemon, pseudos etc.
2) homeages that take similar ideas, but with completely different spins, i.e. Swoobat is a psychic type bat based on positive feelings, instead of an poison-type bloodsucker or Klinklang, which is a group of steel type Pokemon making a single entity as mechanical parts (also showing off dynamic sprites, signature for gen 5), instead of being just merged via magnetic force.
