Personally I think object mon make sense considering japan’s culture. There’s literally an entire type of yokai which are literal objects with souls and sentience. There’s actually quite a lot from curtains that will strangle you too paper walls with thousands of eyes. I don’t think non Japanese monster catchers have a lot of object mon, but that may be my bad memory. So ya, it makes sense for all the Japanese ones.

Pokemon designs are so much more creative than people give credit for. Even the ones that are easy punching bags have a lot of thought put into. My favorite example is Klefki. It’s not a keychain, it’s a fairy that steals people’s keys. Even the hole where it’s mouth would be is a keyhole and a cleft palate. Which is where “Klef” comes from.

True I wish people wouldn’t be so surface level with Pokémon designs. It’s okay to not like but don’t say it’s objectively bad if you don’t understand.

Even if its just "trash bag" at least you have to go through to process of making it look alive.

Oh my god you did NOT just draw trollface spiritomb Aside from that absolute masterpiece of an image, object mons are super cool if done right, it’s just that the Pokémon company has been very hit-or-miss with the designs, _period,_ lately (IMO) Some of the cooler designs are object mons: bronzong, Gholdengo (it’s a good design, Fight me), and the Aegislash line are all great examples of this (especially Aegislash. Don’t lie, Aegislash is cool and you know it)

[@trainerlsw]

Object mons are great because it allows for much more creativity, even when it’s simply a ghost possessing something. Not only that, the ones that we already have are great as well. One object mon that’s dear to my soul is Chandelure, which is one of the reasons why I like object mons so much! A lot of people seem to forget that Pokémon aren’t just supposed to be animals, but fictional monsters that have unique traits that define what they are!

[@Daehpo]

Personally, object Pokémon tend to be the designs I'm more fond of. They really help cement the idea that the series is "Pocket Monsters" and also make the collection aspect feel a little less immoral. I guess I liked the idea of being a "Magical Object Collector" rather than a "Magical Creature Poacher", even if I'm still technically the latter...

[@pulledpork9778]

My favorite headcanon about most object Pokémon is that humans modelled their tools and technology off of existing Pokémon. People see a lampent or chandelure giving off light while hanging about a tree? Why not create a fancy light source that you can hang in your own home? Wow, that bronzong over there sure is making a lot of noise trying to scoop up those berries, maybe we can use a similar design to make loud noises for communication! Of course, it doesn’t work for all object pokemon like banette or polteageist, but it’s a lot of fun to think about.

[@Ditidos]

Object mon tend to be my favourite kind of mons. It's possible to mess them up, but it isn't that diferent from making boring non-object mon (like Krabby or Pidgey). I also find they tend to be significantly more inspired than non-object mon or al least I can read them better. Trubbish is one of my favourite designs, after all.

[@nikzito2]

i've noticed in newer gens gamefreak has taken the same approach as yours, as in, taking an object and giving it animalistic features (or viceversa). barraskewda is a torpedo, farigiraf is a telescope, turtonator is a landmine, etc. i feel like the constant objectmon backlash from the middle gens made them take this approach but at the same time its not like they stopped making "true" objectmons, which like yeah fair those will and should always be a thing. dunno where i'm going with this comment but i think its a very interesting topic and i'm wondering what their approach will be with the current design trend receiving backlash (humanoid looking mons)

[@DevilSpider_]

Object Mons. My favorite pokemon trope. It has even turned into my favorite creature trope. I started a worldbuilding project inspired by Pokemon where all the new creatures there are *solely* inanimate objects turned animate in an animal-like way. Stuff like an anglerfish fishing rod, a sword fish (literally), a Volkswagen beetle turned into a beetle, ringbuoy fish, a chameleon fountain pen, etc. In total, I have made *85* of these creatures as of the time of writing this post. Some of them are bit a miss, but there has been some bullseyes I'm really proud of. Actually, your Needlish has even become a source of inspiration for one of my creatures, as me and my friend have turned a thermometer (both a digital one and a mercury one) into fish. I posted two examples of my creature designs in my community section (and in one of my tumblr blogs) an plan on posting more. About the worldbuilding project I mentioned a couple sentences ago, it's actually an alternate timeline of our world where objects suddenly became gaining sentience in this Pokemon-esque manner where they would partially become animals, and I'm working on a story that delves into the philosophical part of that. Feel free to ask me about anything related to this project or the creatures and I might answer.

[@PhantomGato-v-]

I'm interested! The concept seems similar to that of tsukumogami in Japanese folklore, which I am decently well versed in. Please give us updates!

[@DevilSpider_]

@Phantom Gato Thinking about it, the concept is almost like tsukumogami but on steroids. It's kinda fun to imagine how human society adapts these creatures into their everyday lives. Large sentient snake trains slithering through railroads, the youngest of children learning how to read and write using a sentient chameleon-like fountain pen, walking cameras on tripods ready to take pics of tourists for them, ringbuoy fish rushing in to save someone who fell into a river etc. Even though they all boil down to a simple "animal + thing" formula, I add a small amount of worldbuilding with each design.

[@Techy404]

[@sygiliph2495]

Personally, I'm fine with object mons. Some can feel lazy at times (Voltorb and Electrode for example as despite being the first, having limited sprite area or whatever and also being some of the first mimics to not just be a chest, they really are jud St balls with faces), but then you get things like the Litwick line and the Beldum line. Object mons that are almost always seen as badass. Also, I do have to ask sometimes "what else were they gonna be?" for example, Vanilluxe. When I hear people complaining about it, I just think to myself "what else was the ice cream Pokemon going to be? A wooly mammoth because ICE age?". The original version of this paragraph was much more aggressive in tone so I chilled it down and shortened it btw. If you don't like them, that's perfectly fine, I doubt everyone is gonna start loving Garbodour after this comment, but please don't use "it's just (blank)" as an excuse for why a Pokemon is bad, because you could literally point at any Pokemon and say it's just blank. Tinkaton is just Hammer Kirby, Girantina is just Satan, Charizard is just a dragon, Eevee is just a generic mammal, Meowth is just a cat, etc.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

Voltorb and Electrode are the first time in a long time that the game's treasure mimic monster is more then just a treasure chest. As bland as they are they are actually a lot more creative then people realize. Klefki is an 2 stage mon at least, where it starts as a single key then becomes the ring. This also fits into fairies getting into the house to steal things. Garbodour is a case of devolution. It becomes (to some, nothing wrong with liking it) repulsive and less suited for the role it was filling prior. All I was expecting was it to make sense such as handling trash better not worse. In the case of ice cream it would make sense to be more then a cone as more complex ice creams tend to go away from that. Or if you want to stay a cone adding colored variation to it like actual ice cream has. The issue a lot, but not all, object mons face is they are often little more then their objects in how they are presented or fail to expand on the use of the object in a meaningful way.

[@sygiliph2495]

@@Buglin_Burger7878 well, I can't say "No, yOu'Re wRoNg" and your points are really clear, so I'm not gonna argue against you or anything. The "anger" in my original comment was more dramatised to be funnier btw, people can hate Object Mon. And as you've stated, there's a clear reason why people would not like them. One small mistake about Klefki though, it's a single stage Pokemon, not a second stage evo. This doesn't make your critisism invalid, I just wanted to tell you before you got people who would've just been dicks about it.

Love Tunivect a lot, I appreciate that you take a lot of inspiration from marine creatures as they're some of my favorites (though I also have a soft spot for more abstract designs similar to Bronzong and Claydol). I think Pokemon is unapologetically all over the place with its designs and that's one of its biggest strengths, there's truly something for everyone whether you like pink fluffy animals, big spiky dinosaurs, or a literal living fridge. I feel like this is where many other monster collectors fall short a bit, they stick too much to a singular theme and artistic vision, which might look consistent and pleasant aesthetically, but at the same time leaves you with little reason to get invested if that particular style just doesn't happen to be your thing.

[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

I think one reason why object 'mons have gotten so much flak is do to some level of cultural misunderstanding. A good number of Pokemon are based on Yokai - which Pokemon likely stem from, in addition to some being based on particular kinds of Yokai - is usually referenced/represented by the Ghost typing. What many don't understand is that Yokai aren't just the spirits of dead people or weird-looking animals. A good number of them are actual objects that have come to life through one means or another, such as how they were used or how long they were in the possession of their owners. And then of course, some object 'mons are literally ghosts inhabiting and using them as bodies, like the Chandelure line.

[@andrewharris1344]

Yeah that probably why. I think object Mons were cool before I learned that, but culture does tend to sway the opinions on creature designs.

[@davidunderwood9728]

I do think there is a difference in a Pokémon with object ideas as part of their design and Pokémon based on objects. Vikavolt is partly based on a Rail gun where Vinillite is just based on an ice cream cone. I do think that Magnemite and Magneton wouldn't be looked on as favorable if they came in a later generation. There are good object-mon but I think its best to try to adapt it with a creature when you can.

It's not as simple as "objects bad" but rather how much thought goes into the design or what the object in question is. For example, things like Magnemite or Claydol have more interesting complexity to the design and can come off as a living thing in design and lore. But recently, the designs feel less inspired and more lazy. Far more in the vain of "throw googly eye on a thing and call it a day," never mind how the design and lore can work against each other and make the Pokémon seem out of place or downright bad.

[@brainthebrian3690]

Yup, Klefki for example just so happens to feed on iron enzymes with a horn that looks like a key which it sticks into the small hole or crack of pieces of metal (reaching a bit but ok...) and it just so happens to like to specifically stealing keys and has adapted it's body to suit the habit explaining it's key hoop.

Personally I never had a problem with object mons some I like some I dislike it makes the Pokémon world more interesting sense anything is on the table for a design, and they stand out so much from anything else. But I hate when the community says Gamefreak is running out of ideas when they see an object Mon. Sure they’re “running out of ideas” while all the complainers want what another big dragon or something, because yeah that’s definitely not over done. You can not like something like Klefki but don’t say they’re out of ideas especially sense there where no keychain Pokémon before it. So no there not “running out of ideas”.

[@LilAnonomus]

The way I see it, objectmons in-universe are the basis for those objects in their world (with some exceptions). ex. Vanilluxe isn't based on ice cream; ice cream's invention was inspired by Vanilluxe. The same logic can even be applied to Pokemon saying their own names; language and the meaning of words evolved based on the noises Pokemon make.

[@xv1distort]

Pokemon #1000 being a pile of money is just... too perfect

[@htfs493]

My headcanon is that the real world objects the object Pokémon are inspired by, are inspired by the object Pokémon in the Pokémon universe. If that makes sense. For example, klink’s design is inspired by cogs in the real world, but someone in the Pokémon universe looked at the anatomy of klink and thought “hey, that’s a very efficient design” and then made the cog.

[@kitsutilo]

I think we should focus the discussion at what makes a good object mon. There are some i love, there are some i hate. We shouldn't condemn all object mons as bad, because well... there are some that the community loves, but they just happen to be left out of the discussion, while the ones, that the community hates always come up when that toppic is brought up. I am certain, that i will look through the comments and someone will bring up garbodor as why they are bad, while there will be hardly any comments against object mons that will mention rotom or any of the gen 1s.

[@hb003]

loved the objectmons featured in this vid. Even cooler that they are based on deep-sea critters too!

[@AlAtOMI]

Have you considered making a "radiant" type that can comprise both light and sound? since both things 'radiate' from a source? Just a suggestion.

[@Barriertriostruckapose]

radio-?

[@AlAtOMI]

@@Barriertriostruckapose that can work too. Maybe nortist will think so too.😁

[@StabbyCat3000]

Love this video, especially realizing most of your “object” mons maybe aren’t actually. Anyways, I had some ideas for type names since you said you wanted ideas for those in a previous vid (I think). Ok, here goes: Fairy = Fae (you might have done this one already) Electric = Volt/Charge Ice = Frigid/Frozen Fighting (if it stays in the chart) = Martial Psychic = Mystic Ghost = Spectre/Spirit Dark = shadow/ruin? Steel = Metal I guess? All just random ideas that my brain spat out, but maybe one or two of them are good.

In general, I feel like Object Mons are fine if they have a decent enough in-universe explanation, or if they _don't_ then at the very least the in-universe characters express the same amount of confusion and/or curiosity as the player/viewer might have about the origins of such Mons in the first place, and IIRC we've seen a decent amount of both of these approaches in Pokemon. Slightly different from 'mon-collecting games, but the best example I can think of off the top of my head is from the manga series Dungeon Meshi, which actually had a pretty interesting take on the concept of your classic treasure chest mimic monster by making them essentially _gigantic land hermit crabs_ that use discarded pieces of armor, cookware, jugs, barrels, and ultimately large treasure chests as shells. In the same volume, the main characters also discover "treasure bugs", which were a species of beetle that had evolved to look like gold coins and jewels to they'd look unappealing to the species of monster that would normally eat them. (It was also an in-universe method for them to spread to new areas, as being mistaken for treasure and picked up by unaware adventurers means they get a free ride to the relative safety of the adventurer's hometown.)

I'm not sure why they'd express confusion when these creatures have always been a part of this world and half of them can power a city block on their own Actually in a lot of cases lore wise the mons predate whatever thing they're based on Just like how in real life we base things in animals all the time

[@submariNervous]

​@@Gamebuilder2000 Yeah, reading my original comment back I can see I probably could have worded it a bit clearer, so that's entirely on me. To (hopefully) clarify, I'm mostly going on the logic that BECAUSE these Pokemon have been around so long as you said, they don't bear much discussion for folks who are in-the-know about them, so people who AREN'T in the know (such as those who live in small towns with only your typical natural-looking Pokemon like Pidgey and Caterpie) would be caught off-guard by object 'Mons. It's very much in the same vein as a person in the real world seeing a pangolin or sarcastic fringehead for the first time. The first one might inspire mild surprise and maybe a soft "aaawww~", but the latter will almost always garner a "wtf is that thing and why does it LOOK like that and how do I ensure I never have to be near it in real life" response. (I hope this made my thoughts about that a bit clearer. Sorry if I failed! 😅)

[@rossjones8656]

My first fakemon I ever created is an object mon and I'm proud of my thing.

[@blldwg23]

Your videos and creativity are amazing keep up the hard work

[@grimphantom99insaneenderma85]

Another thing people don't realize that there is a lot of hidden meaning behind these designs, some of these designs are based on folklore which I really like. ☺️💖

[@KimFareseed]

7:11 Well that is adorable. That tweet just gets me to hear "This is Halloween."

[@gabrielleengel7476]

Every day i just want to play your game more

[@VestedUTuber]

Honestly, the fact that people don't make a huge deal about Magnemite and Voltorb, or for that matter even some later objectmons like Nosepass and the cosmic rocks, makes me think that most people complaining are really just using the "objectmons are bad" argument as yet another thinly veiled way to bash later gens. Personally, I'm mixed on objectmons. I like them when there's unique lore attached, like how Cryogonal is basically a frozen gestault colony of cyanobacteria functioning similarly to a Portuguese Man-O-War, or how Klefki is based on European fairies that steal your keys for shits and giggles. And for some reason I also like the Klink line. I'm not a fan of ones that exist because "we have to have an objectmon for this generation's 'dex", though.

[@Ohmnis]

I like to think that a lot of objects, in the Pokémon world, are often inspired by the Pokémon itself. It IS another world.

[@UNDERW3RLD]

This is the first time I’ve seen you before, honestly your character design is sick.

[@ZoneTown]

That thumbnail screams that one "Why is everyone so mean to me?" image.

[@isfrom5169]

I like that they look like a shrimp, mantray, and a turtle

[@GorbWasHere]

The first thing to come to my mind seeing the lil' money man was, and i quote... "Here I come I am cinnimon!"

[@Goo_Guy]

Gholdengo: "Why is everyone so mean to me..."

[@janaehyer6068]

litterally a better teacher than my science teacher. Also, some of my favorite mons are object mons. IDK what the problem is.

[@edoardospagnolo6252]

Tunirad looks so happy! 😃

[@THATBLUEBLAZER]

tunivect is really cute, but that SHINY

[@RarelyAChump]

Can I just say that half of the gen 1 fighting types have built-in clothes-skin?

[@ToxicMothBoi]

I did not expect "object mon" to mean pokemon who look like objects. I expected this to be some weird educational video about something scientific but i am not even dissapointed tbh. Heavily invested in sruff like this now, thanks

[@user-nm9yd4wq4s]

this thumbnail is INSANE source???

[@grimphantom99insaneenderma85]

Your designs are so cool❤

[@realsalu634]

I would love to eat Gholdengos cheese cake 🔥🥵
