>>40380448This isn't actual Kanto Pandering anymore. this is Shillmon Pandering, which is entirely separate, as they're only focusing (and including) the most marketable aspects of Kanto rather than celebrating and respecting the region as a whole.
But if they truly did care about Kanto entirely, or, at least, the majority of the 151 who can be easily marketed, don't you think we would have seen confirmation that Charizard's fellow starters are in the game, too? They don't HAVE to receive Gigantamaxes, but it seems a little bit absurd that Charizard's the sole Non-Gen 8 Starter while Venusaur and Blastoise don't even get existing privileges despite originating from the same region, same era of global popularity, and being on a relatively similar level back in XY.
