Non-anthropomorphic character + Human trait it doesn't possess = Anthropomorphism
e.g. a wolf + the ability for complex speech = an anthropomorphic wolf.
Cool?
Now, considering pokemon canonically have intelligence comparable to humans and complex language, if you want to claim that pokemon are anthropomorphic you need to show the non-anthropomorphic version of the pokemon and say what human trait it gained that now makes it anthropomorphic.
What is the human trait that pokemon didn't possess before but do in the trailer?
Where is the evidence that canonical pokemon lack that trait?

Let me simplify this.
