>>51754991>Pokemon isn't about cool monsters anymore?Does this (image) answers your question, Anon?
The "cool monsters"-type Pokemon back in the day were literally designed similar to that of generic RPG monsters with some real-world animals inspiration sprinkled in.
Just play the Gen 1 games, and then play the other RPG games back in the 90s and will see my point.
You don't see those types of shit anymore because ever since the whole RPG craze of the 90s has died out, so GF decided to make their monsters more fleshed out and original instead of bland-looking fantasy creatures.
