>>53725446If you want to give them a theme then either
1) Decide the theme and then the animals (you don’t even need the exact jobs, just the theme and you can work the jobs off the animals)
2) Use a non-anthropomorphic themes like Gens 1 - 4, since they’re far less restrictive. Gen 1 was just somewhat uncommon critters (something you could find if you search for it but wouldn’t see everyday, that children may seek out) becoming monstrous, Gen 3 was simply tropical/exotic, and Gen 4 was world mythologies. Gen 5 is world cultures but because a lot of the design came from humans even for the non-humanoid Serperior and Samurott it’s in the middle.
3) Go like Gen 2 and don’t have a super solid theme. Gen 2 had two of its starters swapped out and even then it was pretty mismatched because the beta fire starter was just a bear when the other two were long necked prehistoric reptiles
