>>50043376Hex Maniac, a literal generic NPC trainer class, has a card. A card that sells second hand for thousands of dollars. Why? Because like I said before there are Pokemon market analysts who know what the fandom likes. They saw people latched onto a random trainer class of all things so they made a card. Second hand sellers know people love Hex Maniac so much they're willing to pay thousands of dollars for her.
There is no such case for Leaf. There is no buzz in the fanbase begging for Leaf merchandise. Nobody would shell out entire paychecks to buy a piece of cardboard paper with a Leaf picture printed on it. So Pokemon ignores her, as they have every right to.
