>>50795540The context is there to put the puzzle together me lad. They wanted the pre national dex to be 151. Like Kanto. They didn’t think that through and they botched the dex distribution. I also think they wanted to have an elite four that was mostly new types. And again, they didn’t think things through. And they botched it.
I’m sure the evidence is there to see that it’s just incompetence that a child (the target audience) would probably pay no mind to. It’s not hard to see that his teams theme is Fire TYPE and the rest are filler sans maybe Drifblim.
He wasn’t executed well and honestly, this is only an issue because it makes him underwhelming as an elite four member.
How is the notion that it was a conscious decision NOT headcanon?
