>>31877829Plenty of pokemon look not-cartoony enough for me to like, and even in some cases the cartooniness is fine.
Even just considering elongated quadruped mammals (which is a trait common to most mustelidae):
Quilava & Typhlosion (don't even know what the hell Typhlosion is supposed to be), I genuinely like the designs. Meh on usability.
Furret, doesn't look like a mustelid, but still isn't awful... if the face were just a little less 2D.
Linoone, great design, always part of my team, always gets rekkd.
Bui & Float, usable, but if the floaty parts were toned down just a little bit, and it were on all 4s in game, I'd like 'em.
Stunky & Skuntank, good designs (except for the buttface, which I get, but still...), not all that usable.
Samurott, a little overboard on the kabuto, but I genuinely like it a lot. Pretty usable.
That's like at least 50% of elongate quadruped pokemon.
