Yeah bit beasts were and always weird, and so stupid and Pokemon plot in V-Force... It also made me cringe when Sergei held his blade out to absorb Dranzer like it was a Pokemon it was so stupid!
As I mentioned, why didn't MFB have Bit Beasts? Since it's rather more fantasy themed, and Plastics should have had the metaphorical beasts, since it's more realistic in terms of situations they're put in and the world in general, minus the stupid bit beasts. Even though Burst is currently becoming an average anime series for other problems, it at least knew the down to earth tone of it and didn't have bit beasts, I'm sure the motifs are metaphorical as they've never interacted with the characters, and the Valkyrie sword touching Valts launcher doesn't count, I see it more as a metaphor for Valt and Valkyries becoming one and Valt feeling the launching technique... somehow. The OG series were really confused with what they wanted to do, it's trying to have this tournament plot and sort of try to be down to earth, because if you think about it, without the bit beasts and powerful blades, it would be more like Bursts, only with more interesting characters and more tension even with the bit beast nonsense. I feel like bit beasts were there to cash in on Pokemon's success, and no that's not a good reason to have them. Thank goodness G-Revolution toned that nonsense down, only to be replaced by some weird transformations, which I guess is... better?
