You don't have to be a furry to realize that MONSTERS in a MONSTER collecting game is a good thing. If I wanted humans in disguise I'd be an actual furry into anthro or simply go to whatever con and look at cosplays.

Some of the most iconic monsters of fiction are humanoid.

I think the problem with this line of reasoning in general is that people get the wrong idea of what Pokemon are or are supposed to be.

People (including some anons here surprisingly) seem to think Pokemon are just feral animals, objects, with a few dragons sprinkled in, with elemental powers. When, by all accounts they are not. They are monaters in spirit and in name. Being monsters means a Pokemon can take form of anything the designers want.

You can dislike humanoid designs all you want, but claiming the series originally started off with just "bugs and animalistic monsters" is just plain false.

>what are exceptions
Besides I never claimed there weren't any humanoid designs in Gen 1. I simply said that's not what the series was based on. I don't mind there being a couple humanoid designs here and there, if they fit a theme (like with most of your examples - fighters, psychics, a gorilla, I'll give you magmar). I just don't like taking animals and anthropomorphizing them along the way, really.

There's nothing inherently wrong with doing so though. Maybe it just comes down to taste, but objectively anthropromophic designs are not that bad. Plus it's easier to express, and emote with humanoid designs than animalistic ones.

Claiming shit like Machamp and Jynx as nothing more than just "animalistic monsters" is just false and confirms they're either blind or retarded.

Things like vampires and werewolves, Frankensteins monster, spirits, zombies, mummys etc are just humans turned monster/humans that can turn into monsters, it's not really the same as actual monsterous creatures.

Give it up, faggot. Myths are replete with humanoid creatures. Just man up and say you don’t like them. Saying they don’t belong or shouldn’t exist however just makes you objectively wrong
