>>42337214while I still don't like most gen 1 objectmons, I excuse them because at least they stick to established tropes for the JRPG genre instead of literally fishing around in their pockets for the next design. Voltorb is a mimic, grimer is a slime monster, magnemite is a robotic pokemon, etc. Most gen 1 objectmons were pretty much mandatory. People would COMPLAIN if there wasn't a slime monster.
