Caterpie, Pidgey, Rattata, Spearow, Ekans, Zubat, Growlithe, Slowpoke, Seel, Krabby, Exeggcute (why have one egg with a face when you can have SIX?), Horsea, Goldeen, Tauros, Magikarp, Eevee, Omanyte, Kabuto, and Mew are all pretty much just "basic animal, but with a slight twist" and even then there's usually not much of a twist.

If I didn't know these were already Pokemon I'd just assume someone drew an animal in an anime style.

That's because Pokemon are supposed to be animals.

To be fair, I was somewhat picky when going down the list.

I almost included Beedrill, but it's more anthropomorphic than just "it's a bee"
Unlike other examples such as Pidgey and Goldeen, which are literally nothing but a bird and a goldfish...

He's a poke that happens to be slow.

Oh now I see. That's not a very original design.

Actually, I think the Gen 1 Mons had a more "monster" design element to them, likely because in the early days, Pokemon existed alongside real animals as the setting was just our world, but with Pokemon.

Later on, as they started establishing the Pokemon world, they started having the Pokemon outright replace the animals, and the Pokemon started looking more and more like animals than they had been before.

Nah, it's about the same. I don't see why so many people are so hung up on Vanillish, as if it's any weirder than what the earlier gens gave us.

They're living creatures in Pokmon. Their dex entry mentions they hatch

Goldeen has a horn, and Beedrill has two. Regular goldfish have none and wasps/bees only have 1. Just saying.

Most pokemon are just slightly fantastical animals. That's why pokemon are so cool.

The worst part of new pokemon is that so many of them look too much like people. All the Gen 8 starters look like weird furries (Rillaboom maybe can get a bye since its supposed to be a gorilla, but the other two have on excuse)

Yeah but like 10/150 is a smaller proportion than 10/80 so it seems like a bigger issue now.

And idk, but Cinderace is weirder to me than Machoke, since Cinderace didn't need to look like a person.

Weird, I always thought it was some kind of mammal. Mostly because of the ears and I guess the mouth. Bulbapedia suggests it could be based on a salamander, hippo, or otter. Whatever the case, it doesn't really seem to fit into the "literally just animals" crew.

Vanillish is a top-tier design.

One thing I like about earlier Pokemon designs is their eyes were more jagged or slanty and made them look like some real fuckers that were gonna kick your ass.
