>>47756007Got a source? 'cause last I saw the kids very much favoured Scorbunny and its evos above the other two. And I know the women love Inceleon, it was hand-crafted for that audience. Didn't really transfer worldwide though.
And that's ignoring my point, that most of the world gives a fuck about football (Japan included, Cinderace is a Mascot Partner of the Japan Football Association after all), thus any and all who play pokémon in those parts automatically will favour a footballing rabbit, over a drumming monkey meme or a gay-looking lizard.
