I don't really care either way, but looking at the "paldeck" from this game it's ridiculous just how shameless they were in copying pokemon designs wholesale.

Most Pokemon aren't all that inspired to begin with. At some point you run into kind of limited options to display "cat + fire" or "mouse + electricity" unless you wanna let go of design conventions wholesale

There’s a picture floating around comparing some of the original Pokémon to dragon quest designs from the time.

The concept of “original design” when it comes to a monster or ghost or animal is pretty dumb.
