>>13177267Well with Clefable, it started out as a two evolution Poke, and all it got later on was a baby stage. And the only bug Pokemon that become cuter are the ones based off butterflies and moths. Actually, do you think the three-stage idea originally came from insects that makes cocoons and chrysalis?
Plus I'd argue, even if it's not extreme like Digimon, many Pokemon do become more anthropomorphic in small ways, such as becoming bipedal; which is probably what would bother me the most. There's exceptions of course.
