"We might deal in derivative IP, but it's our derivative IP!"
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.
you forgot rock.
There's Rock, Rock With Arms, and Big Rock Snake
