Because they're interesting fictional monsters and not regular animals with an anime style made to sell plush toys.

I just think Gen 1 pokemon are boring and have nothing interesting in them.

Gen 2-7 are all unique and made me actually like pokemon.

I don't think you know what "cartoon animal" means
Take Seel, for example. It's quite literally just a seal in the Pokemon art style. Meanwhile, something like Walerin or Primarina have characteristics that set them apart from regular seals. Hate on the designs all you want, but at least they're not a "cartoon animal".

I can appreciate gen 3 for still having some ambiguous monster designs, like Ludicolo, Exploud, Gardevoir, Metagross, Aggron. Even Blaziken doesn't look much like a regular chicken.

Gen 4 onwards is where it's almost all just boring cartoon animals except for the evolutions of older Pokemon.
