>>28920327This. These idiots blew it on promoting this piece of shit. You can tell when they're promoting something, as they've done before:
>Blaziken was introduced before Gen II even released, with his anime introduction being kicking Charizard's ass to show that he was being replaced. And later on got the single best ability it could've gotten>Lucario got legendary mentions in Mystery Dungeon games hyping him up as the second coming of Jesus + A movie dedicated to him plus in-story accesibility + being multiple Gym Leaders' star pokemon + First to M-Evolve + 50 Meter statue dedicated to him + Unstoppable edgeforce in the anime>Charizard is Charizard. I ain't gotta explain shit.>Greninja was ignored for two years by the higher ups until the introduction of Ash-Greninjob that got sloppily introduced at the tail-end of the gen and that did nearly nothing important except jobbing to freaking Charizard once more and getting released.I'm surprised the merchandise sold so well given how shitty it was promoted. But then again i've met people who hate the anime but actually like Ash-Greninja and a friend of mine actually imported that one toy with the magnets on feet and hands for some reason. I'm guessing Greninja simply sells itself.
