15 Boring Everyday Objects That Inexplicably Became Pokémon

Keychains and magnets and bells, oh my!

Bell

Recommended Videos

Pokémon, Chingling, bell
Chingling is just a lone, boring Christmas bell. You may as well string a bundle of them together and hang them on your door to give a merry little jingle whenever the door is opened. It is literally a “Bell Pokémon” because apparently ever since “Magnet Pokémon” were a thing, nothing is too outlandish or absurd. Nothing at all…

Garbage

Pokémon, Trubbish, Garbador, trash, garbage, rubbish
That’s right, Trubbish and Garbodor are literally mutated trash. According to Bulbapedia, Trubbish “was created when a mixture of domestic and industrial waste underwent a chemical reaction of some sort.” Basically, it’s like Bruce Banner decided to test the gamma radiation on a week’s worth of garbage instead of himself and instead of turning into an enraged green monster it turned into a disgusting, poisonous monster that evolves into a bigger, grosser poisonous monster in time.

Ice Cream

Pokémon, Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe, soft serve ice cream
“Why stop at rubbish and rocks? Let’s just go crazy and turn a delicious treat into a cute, flurry-inducing creature that you can’t eat!” I have to imagine that’s a quote from some corporate mastermind at The Pokémon Company’s think tank, because surely there’s nobody else who would ever imagine vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of ice cream, for that matter) could fill in not one, not two, but three entire slots on the Gen 5 Pokémon roster.

He once played through a dozen Final Fantasy games in one year, and his knowledge of Kingdom Hearts is mildly concerning. Zak covered everything from features, news, guides and reviews for Twinfinite on pretty much all genres, but RPGs are his specialty.
