We started out with robots, spirits, kaiju, aliens, and beasts. With animalfaggotry cancer, we now only have the latter. The designs often don't reflect this because animalfaggotry hasn't yet fully metastasized into Pokemon design philosophy. The day that this happens is the day the franchise dies. A spokesperson will proudly announce "this generation, the designs of the Pokemon are much more in line with our vision." You'll see an entire generation of "literally just an animal" mons, and at that point, the normies will finally begin to lose interest, because they only still care because of the cool new Pokemon that get introduced each new gen. GameFreak will proudly refuse to change what they're doing and adapt to the situation, and the series will slowly fall into irrelevance.
