>>53445505If you call completely redesigning it to better be received by people shilling.
I don't because as mentioned, it's not like they've completely redesigned Charizard, Mewtwo, Incineroar, Pikachu, Lucario, Bulbasaur - you know ACTUAL popular pokémon to better make their merch sell but surprise, surprise, the internet's least-liked Johto starter, the internet's least liked series Water starter but not the internet's least-liked Grass starter, no. They pick the one the high school NPC's identified with to the point they made it win a section of a pokémon day poll (which got routinely ignored by Game Freak, as greninja got overall #1, but didn't get near a Switch game until 2022). Which coincidentally happened to be the Alolan starter the kids ignored right out the gate for a singing seal mermaid and Tiger Mask as well as being less than 6 years old when slapped with the re-tool brush (if that were any other pokémon, if it were a TURNERMON, you all would be screeching how Game Freak "were embarrassed to have added it and are now trying to delete it without actually removing it").
>raidsYeah, they're going to be shilling ALL the Legends starter set. They're just doing it by Hisui 'dex listing (they want shit to happen from now to DLC launch. Can't do that without planning out shit first).
>>53445516When polls are left open 10 days and allow multiple votes from a single IP. It tends to come dead last between Primarina, Incineroar and itself when subjected to single vote-only polls however.
>>53445519Yeah about that...
