>>24578271https://fgts.jp/vp/thread/24462637/This thread pretty much explains what went wrong with the whole Zoroark fiasco. It goes pretty into detail, but a couple posts show in a simple manner the core problems, like:
>Promotion-wise? Everything.Virtually unobtainable in-game; Ability demolished from its inception by Team Preview; Piss-poor movepool; Uncool Mother-like depiction in the anime (Even Zorua got more screentime ffs); all this among other disasters show that
a) Either GF had no idea what they were doing (which happens often) in terms of promotion.
or
b) Sugimori was intentionally sabotaging this thing so as to not steal the spotlight from his husbando.
It's handling was a recipe for disaster.
It could've been popular, GF just shit the bed handling it.
