Why would they pick Feraligatr? I love it, but it’s not popular and the mega definitely didn’t help its reception. Its also had a trend of really shitty models and varying quality sprites since its debut, alongside some questionable design traits.

Gen 4 and 7 are 100% because Piplup and Rowlet are arguably some of the most popular starter pokemon period (and honestly pokemon overall), the final evolved forms RARELY matter as much as their base forms for popularity (Charizard and Greninja being obvious exceptions)

>it’s not popular
It was the 16th most popular Johto Pokemon in 2020 and the only other Johto starter's final form to make the top 30. If you cut Japan out of the polls it would probably jump up several places, Japan just really doesn't like it for whatever reason.
>and the mega definitely didn’t help its reception
ZA came out 5 months ago, Pokopia was probably in the process of going gold by the time Feraligatr's dreadful mega came out.

Oh yeah, true. You think they had inside info of mega designs, or nah? If they did I’d wander if the devs shied away from it.

Iirc he said he originally was asked to add decidueye but incineroar was more interesting. That's also why decidueye is in Pokken.

an important detail that people keep leaving out is that it's the full starter lines not just the final evos
I'm not gonna say anything like "this starter is actually unpopular" but a few of these are definitely included because of the first stage more so than the last, most notably Empoleon because Piplup is Japan's golden child

Sakurai doesn't get told which Starter pokemon he should add to Smash. According to one of his interviews, the decision was narrowed down to Decidueye and Incineroar. Ultimately he went with Incineroar because he wanted to add "all kinds of fighters in the game" and a pro-wrestler type character was missing from Smash. (IMO, various clickbait articles may misinterpret this as Decidueye being replaced by Incineroar, but in actually Sakurai just wanted to make a pro-wrestler fighter and he would not miss out on the opportunity to add a parody of Japan's most popular masked wrestler Tiger Mask.)

>Decidueye (the other two are okay, Incineroar is humanoid and I don’t love that, Primarina would be a good design if not a starter)
>Rillaboom (the other two are garbage, Cinderace looks incomplete and Inteleon’s proportions look awful and until the duck was my least favorite starter)
>Skeledirge (Meowcarada isn’t my kind of design but I get that lots of people love it, it’s just too humanoid for me, whereas the gay duck is worse than Inteleon)
Rillaboom and Skeledirge are the only final evolutions in their gens I like, whereas other gens at least have one other good final.
