>>29337857Anthropomorphic aint the word, but yeah they're more and more based on human stuff
Look at the first six final starter evos (Gen 1 and 2)
Only one is based around human stuff (Blastoise canon)
Now if you look at the last six (Gen 6 and 7), they're ALL based on human stuff (Knight, Wizard, Ninja, Archer, Wrestler, Mermaid)
