    I am so tired of them making them look like humans. It's weird for a human to have a pet that looks like a human, it makes it feel more like a furry thing

      Not only that but it goes against everything pokemon was suppose to be. The creator said himself that pokemon are suppose to feel like real life animals. Which is the thing I loved most about pokemon growing up is the idea of animals with these special abilities and being able to live along side them. But these don't feel like animals. If anything they seem more like furries. There are many upright standing pokemon that work but these just.. they don't.
      Black and white I kinda didn't like their designs when they first came out but now looking back from the gens after black and white, I appreciate them and their designs a lot more now.

      And I'm sick and tired of people saying that Pokémon HAVE to be animals in the first place! Pokémon aren't animals, they're monsters or Kami (deity's). Monsters can come in all shapes and sizes, humanoid or not. It's fine if people don't like the humanoid pokémon that much, I get it we hate furries yadda yadda. But it feels dumb to try and make a subjective preference as an objective fact when pokémon never had a set path of what a pokémon can be, especially since it's a fictional series. Since gen 1 they've been designing humanoid mons with set roles to them, so why complain now? In other fictions, there are humanoid monsters too (succubu, beastman, werewolves, and etc) that are categorized in beastiaries if they're not clearly a human, so I really don't see the issue of a pokémon looking human-like if that's okay in other fictions with monsters either. If pokémon stuck to just making generic animals on all 4's that just kind of spews elemental attacks, I would probably not be a fan of the franchise today. The beauty of pokémon is the variety of inspirations that goes into each and every design, ridiculous or not. I'm not saying you have to like the starters here, that's up to personal preference. But I'm saying that when someone tries to say what is and isn't a pokémon, it is just a point of preference rather than fact.

      Personally, my favorite pokemon are always the ones that float, look robotic and are often genderless (ie, Magnemite's whole chain, claydol, klingklang, rotom, misdreavus, etc) you know "objectmon". There still has yet to be a starter like this, as far as I know...

    The Sprigatito line is based on the gentleman Thief archetype.
    They're more or less cat burglars who rob from wealthy people and use trickery to outwit the authorities to flee.
    Fuecoco's line combines the idea of the synthetic relationship that crocodiles have with specific birds, mariachi bands, and most importantly the Day of the Dead Holiday.
    Quaxly's entire line is just based off of Capoeira, a Brazilian fighting style that focuses on dancing and kicking which was developed by slaves to fight back against colonizers.
    There's a lot of history stuffed into these three

    Honestly, I am so happy that I stopped playing pokemon with gen 8. I was let down too many times with recent games, and these starters are following that trend. I don't want to use any of those starters. I was hoping that this would be the game to redeem pokemon, but with these starters and all the technical issues I've heard. I think this will be the first mainline pokemon game that I will not purchase. It's truly a sad day. In the words of Blink-182 "I guess this is growing up"... I hope pokemon can redeem themselves, because I want to play their games, but it looks like I've grown outside of their target demographic.

  • @brian_Austin27
    @brian_Austin27 Год назад

    I think people are missing the point on why some of these starters are humannoid. The reason why they are designed is about the history of spain and colonization as well as african Brazilian and french ties. As well as spiritual meanings like the day of the day for skeledirge and vodo as well for Meowscrada and Quaquaval with an exotic fighting style their a martial arts reference i forgot the name and the festival associated with their evolution is not all fun either most of it is filled with death diseases and slavery and people fighting for their lives, due to European colonization, That could tie into the whole premise of the game especially the paradox pokemon and area zero i love all of their designs. U may not like it because if preferences but when u see that pokemon put so much history and real life lore inside the designs than whats on the surface u kinda have to respect it. Most of the hate is for bipedal pokemon which i don't understand because most of the starter's are not bipedal or either mons that van stand on too legs like incinoroar or tysplosion, and goriilabom who can also run on all floors and can do both 🤔🤨
