To be fair Nintendo was heavily inspired by other artists work when designing Pokemon.

Nintendo wasn't "inspired" by shit. They made an ice cream cone a Pokémon. Keys on a ring? Pokémon. 8 varieties of elemental flavored dog? Check. Oh hey cool look a 2d image on a computer oh wait it's actually a Pokémon. Dog? Cat? Snake? Bird? Horse? All Pokémon. IMO nothing in Pokémon is actually "inspired", only ripped off.
