>do you miss the more animal like appearance of the older starters?
I missed when they looked like monster-like kaijus. I missed the ambiguity of some starters like Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita to name a few. Like at first glance you don't know what they are (even though giving some thought they're obviously based off of some weird animal.)
I like starters that aren't just oddly colored real-world animals. At least leave something to the imagination.
