How about we see how Lucario came to be, in that case?
>Not only does it debut early, it gets a movie in it's name. This appearance actually fools some into believing that it's a legendary pokemon, thus adding mystique and value.>Has SOOPER SPESHUL aura motif that is exclusive to him.>Is one of those "Talkmons", taylor made for standing out among the rest of it's primitive compadrays and for making it easier to empathize with a non-human.>Is absolutely worshipped in-game, Mystery Dungeon series going so far as to hold it in the absolute highest regard; the ultimate hero that can do no wrong. Main series making sure that many people and Gym Leaders use it, D/P actually gifting you a Riolu, and let's not forget the obvious pandering in X/Y, though that one's slightly forgivable as it happened once it's popularity was already established.>This follows suit in the anime, where Lucario is always referred to highly and mightily, also having a near flawless track record in terms of victories in appearances.>One of Sugimori's personal pets, which makes it the go-to non gen-I rep in any side game that as the need for one (Smash, Pokken, etc.)Hating something simply because it's popular is a load of ass. That being said, this was one of the cases where it was clear as day that GF were pushing it everywhere intensely. The pantheonic regards it acclaimed simply couldn't have been possible without the superhuman push it received from external forces.
Now let's see what Greninja has going for it...
