It's the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it's pure chaos.

I've heard it argued that Jynx was a parody of Harajuku fashion, which really only kicks the racism down one more step

No... The original is not debatable if you know how racist Japanese artists depict black people.

That's just some weeb cope and as you mention even then it isn't even good at it.

Literally two Pokeballs with eyes, one is just flipped upside down. Peak design.

If you knew what a mimic is, it would make more sense what they were going for.

It's gotta make you wonder if the pokeball or voltorb came first....

In Arceus, they're grass/electric because they're emulating the original wooden pokéballs

Voltorbs are just very angry dittos.

Prolly the pokeball, they’re based on those japanese gatcha capsules

I always enjoyed how the one mole evolves into 3 moles.
