>>46871759>proving my pointNinetales got ignored hard till it got Drought, Pikachu is the fucking series mascot while /vp/ still sergs no-one cares about its tubby0fuck evolution, Meowth's been a shitmon since they stopped running crits off speed stat and I havent a fucking clue what the last is, but as you've failed to prove anything you listed first is popular overall, I'm guessing it's another one too.
Yes anon, the fact the redesigned, retyped and made a hoo-haa of the regional forms, instead of just promoting their older, initial forms proves they're trying to re-market shitmon to people.And the factors that caused them to do that, don't exist with starters. They're the very first pokémon a child encounters ad the ones the Generation is built around. Even fucking Chikorita's pulled in more revenue on its own basis than Raichu has.
