I’d like to first agree that (personally) I’m not a fan of Garbador, Vanillish, Voltorb or Klefki. However I wouldn’t say they’re unoriginal. In fact, I’d say it’s more creative than Rattata or Pidgey. Granted there are certainly more creative Pokémon out there (Charizard, Lucario, Eletivire, etc) but the Pokémon that…

Sorry my question was worded pretty bad. I’ll give you that. I meant In the world of Pokémon, what makes having a pokemon based on keys less realistic than a pokemon based on any other item like a pokeball, trash, etc.

You're doing the lords work. (not sarcasm)

in what way is a pokemon shaped like one item, more likely than a pokemon shaped like another item?

I super agree with this. People forget that the original pokedex entry of Tangela states (and I’m paraphrasing here) that Tangela is basically a human that got lost in the woods and tangled in some vines.

I really want to be hyped for this game. Drampa and Vikavolt look awesome, but the other pokemon give me the Gen V willies. I’m a pokemon fan for ever, and I’ll play the b’jesus out of this game but I can already tell (like gen V before it) this game will not grasp me the way Gen 1, 2, 3, and 6 did.
