The release of Pokemon X and Y in October 2013 introduced 70 new Pokemon, bringing the known total of Pokemon in the Pokedex to 719. That's a lot of cuddly monsters to create.
Nintendo designers, you work hard. But, we gotta say, it sometimes feels like you phone in your ideas. Sure, you've created some beautiful, fearsome Pokemon. (Ninetales? Rapidash?

But some of these pocket monsters seem like you randomly decided a bunch of inanimate objects should be alive and have amazing powers.
We've rounded up 20 examples of Pokemon that just don't seem on par with the rest of their fellow creatures.
