Any inanimate objects that you think could be used as Pokèmon in upcoming generations?

Personally, they should make more vehicle Pokèmon. Boats, cars, anything.

Furniture could be good too.
 
^lol
Ack. Inanimate Pokémon. I hate that idea, to be honest... I'd much rather see things that are living... that's how it's always been, that's how it should be.
 
Napkin, Spoon, Fork, Knife, Bowl, Table

They'd kinda be like Rotom Forms, except derpier.

dmaster out.

Geodude, Graveler, Golem, Magnemite, Magneton, Grimer, Muk, Voltorb, Electrode, Koffing, Weezing, Tangela, Tangrowth, Ditto, Pinco, Seedot, Shroomish, Nosepass, Lunatone, Solrock, Baltoy, Claydol, Chimecho, and quite a few others say hai.

Anyways, the whole inanimate-thing seems to work for some (such as Seedot, Baltoy, etc.), but the whole ice-cream line seems a bit derpy to me. I'm not sure if that's just my biased perception talking, as I've been around with Pokemon since the beginning, but...I dunno, they just seem a bit...off. I'm just glad that the candle line was pulled off very well.
 
How about a supercomputer pokemon that had psychotic sp atk. Another idea would be a jeep pokemon that would evolve into a tank that could actually function as a tank in competitive play (hold on, I just got an idea for a wall pokemon).
 
A toilet Pokemon. It would be Rotom's new forum.
lol just kidding....
I think that a scissors Pokemon or a Pokemon Card Pokemon would be really neat!
 
^A Pokemon TCG card monster would be hilarious, and I'd love someone to make a Fakemon for it, but in the end it'd be way too derpy to be taken seriously.
 
I think creating a pokémon based on inanimate objects is stupid most of the time... while I like some like Bronzong, I'm still not used to the candle (Hitomoshi), for example...
 
Grass-type pokemon based on fruits and vegetables!

Electric pokemon based on appliances!

I have this feeling that a clock may be a serious design candidate for the future. Just think: pocket watch --> clock --> grandfather clock. Even the real-life designs already provide a good evolution line~

As much as I also inherently prefer animal-based pokemon, I'll have to disagree on your "how it should be" comment.

Using inanimate objects a base references for design is part and parcel of pokemon design since Gen I.

My bad on the "how it's always been." Not completely correct, but I'll explain. The 1st and 2nd Gen Pokémon were based on life more often than 3rd and 4th Gen. I just went through the Nat'l Dex and:
1st Gen: 91% were based on animate subjects
2nd Gen: 94%
3rd Gen: 88%
4th Gen: 88%
One of the many reasons the 2nd Gen was the best.
This may not seem like much, but it does mean that about 9/10 Pokémon are animate (not counting Gen V). That's a pretty high number, and that's what I meant by "That's how it's always been." I want this number to stay, maybe even grow, but it's dropping for the most part.
 
Well, it's not like it's a significant drop. There's the candles, the gears, the ice cream, Gigaith's line, and the garbage guys. That's about 14. However, also keep in mind that it is the largest amount of Pokemon we've seen in a single generation so far. Not much of a downward trend. Still in the upper 80%'s (I think around 89%?). While I'm a bigger fan of the Pokemon based off of animals/plant life, most of the inanimate Pokemon tend to work out. The candle line and Geodude's line are among my favorites, for example.

Well personally for me I have lots of pokemon not from Gen II whose designs I like... if I were to go by amount of likes, Gen III is probably the best for me.

There are also animalistic pokemon whose designs I don't like, so I prefer not to always judge on an animal vs object basis. I don't think the proportion between the two is any major concern anyway since out of 100% I usually only like about 30 to 40 percent of the total designs. Gens IV and V had a particularly large amount of non-inanimate-based pokemon I didn't like (magmortar, drapion, hippowdon, skunktank, musharna, zuruzukin, gochiruzeru, etc. to name a few)
 
imo, animate-based 'Mon are best. And I just like Gen II in general, not just because of that.
As far as inanimate object-based Pokémon, I don't think there's been one I've liked yet.
 
Personally, the main reason that inanimate objects have been on the decline in Pokemon is because most times the ideas for them end up being even more unoriginal than those used for animal or plant-like Pokemon (case in-point: you can come up with tons of different variations of a fox, as we've seen with the Eeveelutions, Vulpix, Ninetales, even Zorua and Zoroark, but no matter how much you try a rock is still a rock be it Onix, Geodude, Nosepass, or whatever). Besides, if anything there's a greater need for robotic or mechanized Pokemon than inanimate object based ones.
 
I thought they differentiated Geodude, Onix, and Nosepass pretty fine. It's not like say, Electrode which is just a colour inversion of it's pre-evo.
