>>58778803>ash was [HEADCANON]Sorry child, I was there, I was the causal faggot who bought it because it was there, while every boy my generation got playstations and games for them for their christmas mornings. And I was also able to see what you outright refuse to, because you're a secondary also-ran minded motherfucker. Venusaur's chance of being worth a fuck died in mid 96, when everyone realised what a mid shitter it was (I walled Blue's lv 40 Venusaur in Silph co with a Lv 20 bellsprout), leading to the anime choosing to promote the MOST popular final stage, and leave the other two in their far more popular base stage forms. The "pokémon by merch" charts that Nip on twitter does don't lie. Bulba and squirtle are FAR more popular than charmander AND Charizard. But 'Zard's the most popular final stage starter in the history of the series and ends up with the number of merch lines to reflect that, while the secondary also-rans place among the most popular of the newer regions, but still far below their base stages OR the most popular Kantomons ever.
