About Ninko and Ninki, they look more like furries because they're holding real life items. First step would be to get rid of the kunai and shuriken, and incorporate their scarves into the design (like Honchrow/Murkrow and it's 'hat') instead of having it on the pokemon. Remember, no pokemon wear articles of clothing if it isn't incorporated into its design.
Right now, Ninki looks the closest to a pokemon, because he's made up of simple shapes. Most small pokemon are made up of few, simple shapes (ralts, marill, togepi, jirachi, manaphy, etc.).
Would you mind if I played around with their designs?
I tried to work with ninko, but it didn't turn out as expected :<
hope this gives you an idea, at least
