>>44367383>Introduced a dumbass "team preview" which screwed its competitive potential. Also GF shilled it way too much. Catching lightning in a bottle twice must be done right.Honestly, Pancham should've been the "Gen 5 Lucario" as it fits the mascots better aesthetically, fits the whole Black/White Yin/Yang motif better, is a fighting type just like Rio/Luc are, has an ACTUAL unique method of evolving (Coro Coro lied about Zorua having one) and has a superior design both before and after evolving.
I would've scrapped both Zorua & Cubchoo to have the superior Panda, and it would've worked.
