hehehe I like this point but that's like saying all the grass and trees in pokemon world are also pokemon
Not exactly. I think Kriven's point is that Pokemon are basically the equivalent of real-world animals, and since humans are animals here humans are Pokemon in that world. So trees wouldn't be Pokemon since they're not animals here. But yeah as you said there have been hints to real-world animals in the anime and such.
Either way I agree that humanoid Pokemon are pretty annoying, but only ones that are extremely similar to humans like Mr. Mime. Stuff like Chespin and Meinfoo are fine, I even like them, and to be honest without humanoid Pokemon there probably wouldn't be a fighting type.
As for your point about not saying their names in the games, that's true I guess. But a lot of other things are only true (or have only been proven) in the anime too like, as you mentioned, humans can't be captured in Pokeballs.
To be honest these two points all have to do with which you consider decisive, the games or the anime (or manga I guess).
