>>41325486Years ago Dunsparce was considered a throwaway but in like, 2009, he suddenly became pretty popular. Even in the games for a bit. He’s the epitome of a goofy design that became popular.
One of the reasons I think new joke Pokemon don’t work is because that’s all they are. Pokemon like Wobbuffet, Dunsparce, or Slowpoke still fit in the world, and don’t negatively impact immersions or the world. There’s more to them than the joke I guess, where with the fossil galars, or Eiscue, if you didn’t like the joke, well too bad. That’s all that’s there. And they look silly even next to the earlier joke Pokemon.
Tldr: fuck turner
