    tangela is a swamp monster. drawing on medusa as a reference point.

    lickitung is a mix of a lungless salamander and a yokai. honestly most of the pokemon have references to yokai, so to what is stupid or illogical to us makes more sense if you know this background.

    I actually think voltorb is a great idea for a pokemon. the idea of monsters/spirits disguised as something else ... idk i think that's neat.

      I actually agree, but it bothers me when people don't apply this same logic to the later gens. Like, a lot of peoples' only response to Gen 5 is "lol ice cream cone", and that feels like a double standard
