Pokemon may have been made in Japan, but it\'s not for an exclusive Japanese audience; it\'s made for an international audience, and it\'s been drawing ideas from other mythologies and has made effort to be multicultural in-universe. People have the right to criticize a design and should not be labeled under Fan Dumb because of it. Now as for the Tsukumogami argument being used to defend inanimate object Pokemon, what is being ignored is that Tsukumogami are SPIRITS, not simply inanimate objects that just come to life for no reason. Yes, inanimate object Pokemon have been around since Generation 1, but what people seem to forget is some inanimate object are based on concepts that justify why they\'re designed like that, while others do not(hence why there\'s criticism). We can pardon Honedge because possessed swords have been in mythology before, and we don\'t know yet what concept Klefki is based on, but we already have some Pokemon that are already based on the Tsukumogami, so using the Tsukumogami argument to discredit any negative opinion against an inanimate object Pokemon just looks like a flimsy excuse to defend lazy designs.
