>>29302088You're asking the wrong fella for that.
I personally feel like there are more humanoid mons this time around because they want to make the game feel more like an RPG than before.
They tested the waters with the Kalos starters, and now they have a gen of more Party Members than just straight Pokemon.
In my experience with RPGs as well the starters make the same sort of trio the Kalos starters did as a Fighter/Mage/Thief setup, but this time with other spins of those classes in Berseker (or monk)/Ranger/Bard.
