It's expendable because it's not a favorite of any of the higher ups. The ones that will never get removed are not necessarily the most popular among the fandom. I mean, they keep pushing Machamp as a big deal when his merch never sells well and he doesn't rate highly in Polls. Incineroar was the least popular of the Alola starters, yet they still gave it the most love; Inceleon is one of the most beloved pokemon ever in Japan and yet they still focus on the Coomerbunny completely. They just prioritize their personal faves over everything else no matter what happens.
>>46686118Are you implying this shit has competent writers? They wouldn't know how to please their fans even if the answer was imprinted in their brains. They're absolute shit and it's retarded to expect them to do anything above mediocrity
