Of the original 151 Pokémon, many did have sharper more aggressive looking eye shapes. However many also had round “cute” eyes- meowth, evvee, pilachu, richu, sanshrew, caterpi, the squirtle, charmander, seel, dratini, so on. Plenty of newer Pokémon have the sharper eyes as well. It mainly depends on what aesthetic they want for a given Pokémon, region, or batch of Pokémon.
I have to admit- some of the later Pokémon are awesome- like zigzagoon. Probably one of my favorite newer Pokémon. Since their first appearance a zigzagoon has been on my “main team” in pretty much every game.
