>>36977309>got the first appearance in the anniversary movieProbably because they new it would be in Smash. Lycanroc-midnight and Marshadow were in too
>got the perfect stats, ability and movepool to become a VGC nightmareThis is probably just a coincidence. Gamefreak made a ton of Pokémon in gen 7 that were supposed to be good in doubles. All the stuff that makes Incin good is that type of stuff you would expect a mon like that to have.
>will become the manga protagonist's aceIts a rotation thing. Last Protagonist had grass and the one before had water. Another coincidence.
>has gotten consistent prominent roles in the anime and is setup to become Ash's only fully evolved starterAll 3 of those episodes were likely because it was planned to be in Smash
>leaked Chinese model sheet from fucking like 4 years ago showed that it would be the only final form that consistently showed up in the animeTrue, but there's also art of Bewear and Serena so it might not mean anything.
>has gotten multiple TGC sets before anyone elseHas it? All I remember is the card from Shining Legends which was movie 20 promotion. And the GX card from dark order which again, is probably because they knew it would be in Smash.
>has been confirmed to be Masuda's favoriteThis means nothing. His favorite Gen 6 mon is Sylveon, yet Greninja got in. And his favorite mon of all time is Psyduck which almost never gets pushed.
