>>29178358>they don't FEEL like PokemonWell they are. So that's your own problem. You haven't even played the game and experienced a world where they are living in the same world as the other Pokemon, so it seems natural, at least to me, that you're having trouble imagining it. I thought the same thing about a lot of Gen 3 and Gen 5's Pokemon when those games first came out. I mean, what the fuck is this thing?
You don't have to like them but if you for whatever reason don't think they "feel" like Pokemon then that's a problem with your own perspective and expectations, not the designers. A Pokemon's design doesn't have to meet your standards. They designed it to be a Pokemon, so it's a Pokemon.
