>>20505409It's kind of too bad too, I mean, in Gen 3, Blaziken and Swampert were far and away the more popular ones, but Sceptile had the niche of fastest Grass type ever and the Anime gave Sceptile some love
Gen 4 somewhat repeated this by giving the rival the most popular starter (though it ended up going to ash) and the two less popular starters ended up with unique typings.
Now in Gen 6 Greninja in smash, Froakie in the anime, Greninja far and away the most popular starter...
The shitposter isn't helping things either - Delphox is gonna be associated with shitposting now.
Look what happened with Goodra
