>>50860294the concept of basing a pokemon on human activity isn't a bad concept on it's own in the slightest. the problem comes when it's just purely the job, and not just personifying an animal or creating a cool concept for a creature.
krookodile is a genuinely good evolution line because it takes a simple concept (robber crocodile) and really does a creative spin on it, giving it natural sunglasses for the desert, since it lives in sand.
take another jobmon, say incineroar, and it just does not make sense conceptually. it's just a shillable cat/tiger themed entirely around wrestlers, instead of an actual spin on real tigers, as well as it's fire typing being for no reason other than it being a starter. basically, it's just designed to be a mascot costume.
