After a certain point the Pokemon started being made with the level of creativity and identity you can expect from AI generated garbage, so I don't blame you for forgetting them.
Honestly I don't even think gen 1 Pokémon are anymore creative than the others. I was still a kid when the concept was new so they felt fresh, but pretty much every Pokémon I can think of is based on an existing archetype of some sort. Plant/Animal, inanimate object brought to life, spirits, dinosaurs, etc. Then you sprinkle on some regional flavor and there you go, you got a Pokémon.
"Identity" isn't something that belongs to the object, it's something that is assigned to the object by an observer.
If you can't see it, you can't see it. I can't point it out to you.
Very true!
