People were restricted by the technology they were using, now that we have more freedom we are able to make the designs more than just a little bump popping out of the ground :/. About the last part of that, Mewtwo and Groudon are two separate pokemon, two separate types, with completely different anatomy. Would you rather all the pokemon looked the same? Mewtwo and Groudon were also designed with different intentions in mind, Groundon was meant to be an "emotionless" badass legendary pokemon.
Its not about the anatomy or concept. Its about the style. The style was more simple on purpose the faces of the Pokemon looked like they could have emotion even Magnemite (a Pokemon with no face) had more emotion than say Claydol which doesn't even look alive.
There doesn't that look much more like well... a Pokemon?
Do you see what I'm saying now?
First, as Neslug said, Claydol is not meant to portray emotion, its animated clay. I like Claydol's design :/. All pokemon are in the same "style" it's just different concepts and designs and intentions that shape the pokemon.. And surprise, with all of that as the variable, some pokemon may not be meant to portray emotion, that adds to the pokemons design.
Mewtwo was intended to portray emotion, he was meant to have human attributes, he was an intelligent cloned pokemon after all.
Groundon is a monster that was not meant to have human attributes, he was meant to tear shit up and be a legendary pokemon.
Your whole argument is based on emotion when your ignoring that some pokemon were never ever meant to portray emotion.
