>>18877177Doesn't mean it's popular.
>>18877196>Meowth is WAY more prominent in the show and movies than Lucario.Lucario is WAY more prominent in everything else than Meowth.
>And despite all the other stuff you mentioned if you hold up pictures of both of them people will know Meowth more times than Lucario because the majority of the world doesn't give a shit about Pokemon past gen 1I don't think so. Everyone knows who Lucario is because of his abundance in media even OUTSIDE the anime, which Meowth doesn't have. And kids give less of a shit about gen 1 than veteran players do.
>>18877207>Has Lucario been relevant since 1996Does it matter?
>Does Lucario have a best selling song?What song?
>>18877298Pichu was a one off clone they didn't need to put much effort into making. Jigglypuff was more popular in the 90's and they keep including it because it's a veteran. Lucario has been in every smash game since it was introduced and it STILL gets relevance, unlike Jigglypuff.
Also there's a fucking reason they keep pushing Lucario instead of Zoroark. Part of the reason Zoroark failed is because Lucario was still popular and Zoroark wasn't even AVAILABLE in Black and White unless you had an event.
