hey Spiritomb, welcome to the club

Is this even a Pokémon? I've been looking at it for a good five minutes now and have come to no conclusion. I mentioned this in an earlier review of the Klink family, but aren't Pokémon supposed to be living things? Spiritomb is the grape juice stain on the cultural reference T-Shirt of the modern day Pokémon fan. Unwashed and unintentional. Unwanted. Preempting the conversation. Waiting to be cleansed (okay I'll stop).
Other things to point out: I've seen that expression before. On Haunter. On f*cking Haunter Nintendo, you can't keep bastardizing your shit like this. God. And does the swirl imply a lazy eye? 
And what about that cork shaped thing, is that a stand? Do Pokémon need stands? If they were alive they wouldn't; stands are for guitars, TVs, f*cking croquet sets, not Pokémon. And those beads (I guess they represent spirits) are kind of distracting. That particular shade of green should not be on a Ghost Pokémon to begin with (neither should that shade of purple actually). This guy is supposedly a renegade badass who instinctively clusterf*cks everything whenever he escapes his prison, but instead he's a grape juiced, pea-green pussy who is questionably animate.
Is this what constitutes a Pokémon these days?
