each new generation of pokemon has more creatures that look like everyday objects but have a mouth or eyes or something
I think this is a cunning plot by mimics to train humans to not be put off by those things so they can be lazier when disguising themselves
"hey, nice chesterr model!"
"what's a chesterr?"
"the wooden chest pokemon!"
"I don't have one of those"
"yes you do, it's right he-AH SHIT MY ARM IT'S A MIMIC AGAIN"
