>>35140704Popular pokemon yield results regardless if you input their english name or Nip name. If you write Greninja in the search bar you'll get both ゲッコウガ and Greninja in your results. This yielded nearly 4,000 results, rendering Greninja as one of the most popular pokemon overall.
By comparison, writing Blastoise doesn't even fetch you the respective カメックス name, and it only has a measly 1,074 results amassed in 22 years.
Swampert is in a similar position, but at least he amasses nearly 1,500 results and i'm pretty sure his reception would be more positive. His Mega seems perfect for the game. Based on Pixiv results, literally any other water starter would've generated more hype than 'toise. Even Samurott has more fanart.
