How does Game Freak decide what Pokémon get special snowflake forms that actually elevate the original Pokémon (megas, gigas, etc) and which ones get replacements (paradoxes, regionals, etc)
It’s easy to say shillmons get battle forms while Pokémon that game freak hates get replaced. And CHARIZARD is strong evidence for the former, the the latter doesn’t quite make sense. If they hated them why give them anything they could have have just Dexited them and normies would cheer. And even then the originals still show up more often than the regionals anyway.
Just seems like game freak justs throws shit at a wall and seeing what sticks and the only Pokémon guanteee to come out on top are the shillmons.
