>>31560972Big prissy French anaconda with solid competitive potential. Also the best of the gen 5 starters (in terms of design). Also is snek. What's not to love?
>>31563861It's a giant fucking millipede. It's got a neat color scheme. It's one of those badass-looking bug types, which are always popular (see: golisopod, heracross, volcarona, etc.). And some people have the hots for it for some ungodly reason.
>>31564775It's a dragon. People like dragons. It also has normie appeal because it was shilled to hell and back. Many people have good memories of it carrying them through Kanto (I'm guilty of the same, except with blastoise). The shilling continued with TWO really good megas, so it's popular with competitive players now.
Someone explain this thing to me. Literally 1 of two pokemon I actually hate rather than just dislike.
