>>48982621Pokemon Amie was introduced in the same gen so making it huggable was likely the intention.
Meanwhile, Snap's Typhlosion are wild creatures that are described as violent and territorial to the point that they burn anything into charcoal if they doesn't recognize it so it had to be able to look fearsome.
I'm fairy certain that Game Freak has a policy of not making Pokemon too scary since every single one of them is supposed be approachable to an extent.
