>>58349162>Pokemon need to be literal with their inspirationsWell... Yeah. Yes they need. To a point, of course.
I mean Gengar is inspired by the doppelgänger but it's NOT a doppelgänger. It has "the flavor" of a doppelgänger, in its name, art, and even lore.
Same with Ludicolo with the marriachi and the kappas. Same with idk Obstagoon
Inspired by punk rockers and British music. Same with everything, really.
But Dedenne has NOTHING of that. How can you even say it's INSPIRED by something if it has nothing of it in it? That's fucking stupid
