TPC is a business and manages pokemon as products, if they see that a new product is not successful, for example Rillaboom, they play it safe, hey, let's make a furry again, those things sell well, and although some fans may criticize those designs and throw tantrums on social networks because Rillaboom is thousands of times superior or whatever, the company only listens to numbers and the money they generate.
Personally I find the fan designs artistically more beautiful, but I also feel them generic, nothing memorable, like something off the cover of a fantasy novel, at least with Meowscarada I can say hey it looks like a cartoon cat on drugs, not my cup of tea, but easy to remember.
