I saw someone raise up the point of how new Pokemon behave more like an anime character, rather than a species of an animal.

OP is right. Why the fuck do they keep trying giving themes and personality to the most popular mons to make them unique, Its not like a generic looking cool animal would get boring, we only got 800+ creatures so theres no need for that.
Besides we've only seen the first stage of the starters but Its blatantly obvious motifs wont be enough subtle, OP is not reaching at all and his complains are completely justified

evolves into cannon wielding blastoise
but that doesn't change the fucking pokemons personality or make it a walking human like incineroar
it still resembles an animal

they've skewed this towards a particular end point being tiger wrestler so an awkward roid arm quadraped mid evo feels like it's out pf necessity.

At least no one has their hopes up this time for a quadrapedal final evo for the Fire starter. I don't see us getting quadrapedal starters pretty much ever again based on what they prioritize in the designs now.

You can make a creature appealing simply by designing it well, not slapping a persobality on it. Charizard is appealing and you can role play into it any personality you desire, Incineroar has a set personality and is part of a species where apparentely everyone is Macho Man Randy Savage

who the fuck cares
it looks like a goofy man in a suit, can you seriously imagine this dude walking around in a jungle searching for prey? or crawling in gorilla mode?
literally the dumbest pokemon ever

>>37743297
gen 4 is exactly subtle though
empoleon has a horn that looks like a hydrant
infernape is a monkey with symbols that are associated with sun wukong and chinese mythology
and torterra is a turtle with a tree on its back, like a mini world turtle

Ok i can agree with that, but how many times do you think this can work? Honestly at this point, what can they possibly do that wouldnt seem like a recycled mon with a minor different detail and typing? Would you really be okay with a fire Torterra or a water Charizard? Id rather have men in fursuit mons

I don't see how this is any different from machoke and shit walking around in caves. They are basically ogres or something.

A lot of real life animals kind of have themes that humans assign to them, too. A lot of human dances, music, fighting styles, etc. are based on those themes.

Nah it would be like making every member of the Squirtle line want to be a fire fighter or a sumo wrestler or something. New starters feel like more of a specific character than a species made up of differing individuals.

Incineroar is literally the most disgusting final starter form they've shat out. I waited like 18 years for a fire tiger and this is the shit that will forever take that spot. At least the fire lion is decent.
