>>58903762>ignoring actual in-game proof, is there any actual proofCunt, they don't leave money on the table (Gmax Pikachu and eevee being OG pika and FLOOFYVee because that's what cunts would expect, 'Zard getting TWO megas, along with Lucario and Gengar, because they'll sell more merch than two venustoise megas ever would). If they went to the arse of making the final stage of something deliberately akin to a prior stage of its evolutionary chain, it's because they KNOW there's no point trying to rehabilitate its reception in the eyes of the world, after 27 years hard dtat pointing to an alternative outcome than your opinion. Unlike with Raichu where there's a cult following of it because it's ignored compared to Pikachu thus it got two differently flavoured megas to pander to both Pikaspergs and Raichutards, there's no strong cult sperging over feraligatr, thus no reason for Game Freak to give it two megas to pander to both sets of fans like the 'Chu bros, thus no point even caring about the contrarian fuckers who still can't separate their personal childhood experience of something from the reality of the reaction to the same.
