>>36925004Eirika at least used one, so if "machamp was famous for his TCG starter deck appearance" was gonna be his justification I figured Vileplume there would be similar.
I don't even agree with the Machamp thing since I play the TCG myself, Machamp was never really good or popular since the biggest deck back then was an entirely different fighting type, Hitmonchan. Plus, when they reprinted the first TCG decks for nostalgia cash grab recently, Machamp was nowhere to be found.
