I love the more monster like pokemon, but the designs will always have a base on something of reality, you can call magmar a monster all you like, but a duck-like beak will always be a duck-like beak for people. I think the only kind of design I'm not that into it is the pokemo that just "exist" like vaniluxe or kling, I mean, I like vaniluxe but the thing just float there, why does it floats? how come he doesn't have levitate?
>>33350065Chansey is clearly an Axolotl though, it got the frills, the tail and the dumb face, is not like it matters since most of the later half of gen 1 pokedex are more monster like and barely look like their real world counterparts, stuff like scyther, pinsir, tentacruel, starmie and digglet are said to be certain animals but look like aliens in comparison
and that's what I love about pokemon.
