Come to think of it, is Blastoise the only pokemon with a manmade artillery just attached to its body? Huh. I always preferred wild monsters/creatures not as sentient or cultured as humans to have less manmade clothing and weapons. It’s why a lot of JRPGs with wild monster encounters don’t appeal to me in their design roster. Wild bird monsters don’t just build something as complex as a crossbow and you definitely don’t see that and assume they aren’t smart enough to build their own society and idk trade or communicate with humans. I always fancied designs where the monster clearly has a weapon inspired by manmade objects but is natural to them like Samurott’s shell swords, Decidueye’s bow and arrow, Braixen’s stick wand. Of course exceptions are monsters literally designed around objects like Chandelure and Aegislash because possessed objects are cool to me.

Well that was a ramble.
