Honestly? Probably Bounsweet -I mean, if we're going for completely inanimate that is. It looks too similar to Cherrubi. But like a worse version of it. The leaves on it being overly thick also really bother me x~x it doesnt look natural, instead looks very manufactured. Overall I feel as though no thought went into its creation other than, "oh yeah lets make another Pokemon, I guess"



I mean, dont we all love the teacups and the candle from beauty and the beast?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

 It does look a lot like Cherubi, actually:



                                                                                     

For me it's more a matter of "these are man-made things" than just inanimate objects. Somewhat that makes them much more ridiculous. I mean, seriously, an ICE CREAM pokemon? Forget the sandcastle and the keys, an ICE CREAM pokemon? That mean theres WILD SENTIENT ICE CREAM roaming around the world. Wild ice cream grazing on the savannah like it's normal. ICE CREAM with feelings and a mind of its own that can attack. Freaking dangerous delicious vanilla ice cream that can easily kill a Dragonite with an ice beam. A DRAGONSLAYER ice cream.

So yeah, its a little silly when you think about it.

Yeah XD the rest Im fine with. I mean I dont much care for Voltorb or Magnemite but love their evolutions XD however my all time favorite inanimate Pokemon is by far, Porygon. He's a duck made of blocks! Whats not to love? XD When I was younger I always thought he was made out of popsicles

In its defense, it may have only adapted to look like ice cream to evolve with an ever changing world. Just like how many real life animals will make themselves look or hide in man made objects to not raise suspicion. And they're only found in that freezer place, right? So it's not too out of question that theyd adapt to look or resemble ice cream. Is that something smart? Probably not XD People still love eating ice cream making it susceptible to being eaten. But I get why it may happen in the context of their world  



I don't mind inanimate object Pokemon. There are some that I like and others that I hate. I love the Chandelure line, but hate the Aegislash line. Also, I kinda like Klefki, unlike the large majority of gen 6 Pokemon.

I say Voltorb/Electrode are the worst inanimate Pokemon with how lazy and bland they are.



Not a huge fan of Klefki, but I love the Chandelure line and the Aegislash line. Aegislash's stance change ability also makes it one of the most fun Pokemon to actually use and I'd love to see more abilities like it.
