The times have changed, OP.
Back in the 90's, the only thing people gave a fuck about was Toriyama's artstyle and designs, which is why literally everyone ripped him off.
However, as we entered the early 2000's, the "moe" trend kicked off, and when that did, mascot appeal did as well.
GameFreak is keeping up with the times by evolving and adapting with them through their design philosophies and which designs get the spotlight in marketing and likelihood of being seen and/or used by the player.

Pokemon in general follows the media trends yeah. Just one look at how anime art styles shifted from 1996 to now, you see the same types of changes.

The only one with that trait is Venusaur
>mix of frog/dinosaur/cats/dogs and 3 unrelated species of plant (lilly, rose, rafflesia)
This is why Bulbasaur Japanese name literally means "Isn't it strange/Mysterious?"

I honestly don't feel Inteleon is even bad, as a basilisk he is appropriately gangly and ridiculous. It's honestly just how they pose him that kind of bugs me, but ultimately I'm not too fussed. I can easily imagine him pulling off that spastic water running thing for example.
But the other two do bother me greatly, Cinderace in particular really doesn't do it for me. Fuck, I only just noticed Rillaboom has flat-out human feet, doesn't even have the 'thumb' toes an ape should have, what the fuck.

What exactly is wrong with a Pokemon with a theme? And don't give me any of that "You can't project your headcanon on your Pokemon" talk, because not only is that 100% wrong, but nobody actually cares about any of that unless you're actually autistic. That's just scraping the bottom of the barrel for any reason to hate themes.
What truly matters is if the execution of the theme/idea. It's always a mixed bag and case-by-case; Some Pokemon have themes that are done well, and some Pokemon have themes that are done poorly. What sucks is when people just pick out the bad ones (such as the Gen 8 starters) and say "All Pokemon with themes are bad."
The Gen 8 starters aren't bad because they have humanized traits and themes, they're bad because their designs suck. "Spy chameleon with water finger pistol" is such a good concept to work off of but they dropped the ball hard.
Why is /vp/ so dumb with this shit?

The only Gen 8 starter that’s shit is Rillaboom. The other two are fine. Rillaboom is boring ugly garbage.
