>>54870542literally every pokemon has its fans and its obvious why
the more plain pokemon are there for variety, to build a tone of relatability to the world to help the charizards or arcanines stand out
They also have a things that make them stand out from normal animals to fit in with the charizards and arcanines, named exaggerated features like pidgey line's hair and ekans' purple color, and the artstyle that gives it marketability
retards like you don't actually understand what makes pokemon popular. pokemon are popular because they have marketable creatures, their marketablity comes from not only their fantastical features but also how its done, aka the way it looks. THE WAY IT LOOKS can come down to just making a animal look tougher, or exaggerating one of its features to create a feeling of "okay we are in a world of fantasy creatures now, this ones basically just a tough looking bird but it makes sense that it coexists with something like a firebreathing lizard because they are presented the same"
