Why does Game Freak struggle so much to make Grass-types?
>391,000 species of plant on Earth
>5.1 million species of fungus
>be gen 8
>Grookey line are Grass because monkeys live in jungles, therefore jungle = Grass type
>has a stick to justify it
>Applin line are apples, the laziest plant they could've come up with
>Gossifleur and Eldegoss are cotton, which they already did with Whimsicott
>patch in Zarude post-launch
>it's another fucking Grass monkey
>has.... vines? I guess?
>in region based on Britain
>Grass/Fairy grain mon based on John Barleycorn
>grass/rock Green Man
>Jack the Giant-killer-themed bean that Gigantamaxes into a beanstalk
>Irish fairy trees
>druidic oak grove
>another Viking mon based on Yggdrasil
>or mistletoe, based on Baldur
>version-exclusive counterpart of Orbeetle, based on crop circles that Gmax Orbeetle torments
There's so much plant-based folklore they could've used, and they went with monkeys (TWICE), wheat and apples.
