>>31586594Tbrh pokemon don't have to be popular at first to be the shillmon of the gen (cf: Zoroark)
And last time i checked, Incineroar was the most popular starter in Pokemon refresh.
Then again i'm maybe wrong, but iirc Gamefreaq seems to have a hard boner for wrestling.
I guess in the end they won't be a real shillmon this gen.
