>humanoid animal When I think of a Pokemon like this, Briaxen and Delphox comes to mind. They are literally anthro foxes. Mienshao's body is too animal-like. It's has the same body style as Floatzel and Typhlosion but slimmer.
>paws, feelers, tiny noseThese traits can be found in other Pokemon though.
>same dumb expressionI can't think of many Pokemon with a variety of facial expressions.
