Why is anti-humanoid sentiment so common? Why do people have it in their heads that humanoid mons are inherently worse designs for Pokemon?
Pokemon have always come in all shapes and sizes. If they wanted them to all look and act like animals, they wouldn’t have had humanoid ones like Hitmonchan or man-made ones like Magnemite in the first gen. The design philosophy for the question “What is a Pokemon?” has always been “Pretty much anything.” They were always weird at times, or humanoid, or inspired by a human activity, or whatever else, even if it would be completely out-of-place in nature. Machamp and Krabby are both Pokemon, even though only one of them is animal-like at all. Machamp isn’t less of a Pokemon because of that.
