>>40342883I don't hate it. Only Braixenfags actively hate Delphox. Most people just find it very bland, and that's a valid complaint. It's just bigger Braixen without as much furfag appeal, and said appeal is over if the only reasons people cared about Braixen in the first place, so without it Delphox had nothing. I remember when I first saw Delphox it looked incomplete, but I assumed it was because the inevitable Mega-evo would "complete" the design in a way, probably upgrading the wand into a staff that could feasibly be used as a Witch broom or something. Of course we all know the Kalos Starters got cucked out of their Megas, so that never came to fruition. Greninja seemed complete from the start, so people gravitated to it instead.
