Rocks
Lots of people make fun of newer Pokémon for being outlandish and silly, like those based on ice cream or trash (stay tuned for more on those), but those people never seem to remember there were several monsters from the very first generation that were essentially just rocks. Big rocks, little rocks, piles of rocks mashed together, rocks with arms, rocks stacked to look like a snake – you get the picture. Sure, Geodude and Onix are iconic and beloved as Brock’s faithful companions, but that doesn’t change the fact that at their core they’re just rocks.
Magnets
You’d be forgiven for thinking Magnemite was just a pile of spare parts and a couple magnets, because that’s exactly what it is. It’s just a metal ball with some screws sticking out and a magnet super-glued onto each side. And Magneton? Let’s not kid ourselves. Magneton is literally just three BFF Magnemites who are always hanging out, which equates to more screws and magnets at the end of the day.
Eggs
When you leave two compatible Pokémon at the Day Care Center, eventually they’ll mate and you’ll be rewarded with an egg. Imagine if you will, what happens when you leave two Exeggutors together. As per usual, you’ll come back and find an egg with a young creature waiting to hatch. Lo and behold, the day finally arrives and your egg hatches into… six… more… eggs. But these eggs have eyes and mouths? Well okay then. That’s not strange at all, no siree.
