General Pokemon Discussion

Well I disagree with you there. Pokemon were charming. A far greater appeal than badass.

To be charming, you'd need personality, which Pokémon (with the exception of when plot devices in the Anime called for it) decidedly lack. It didn't even become a game mechanic until Gen 3, and even then, Pokémon had no personality-based free will until Battle Dojo in Emerald and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

The word you're looking for is 'cute'. Which a lot of Pokémon indeed were, but that's not an infallible alternative for badass or creepy.

Also holy shit. PokémonJRPG totally needs to expand on the creepy side of Pokémon. Pokémon Tower is gonna be fun~
