>>21109155It's because Rapidash is a genwun Pokemon so it gets automatic love. It's not "weird" like Mr Mime or Hypno, and it's a cute horsey, so it's automatically popular.
I have and always thought it was a fucking shit design, really. It's a flaming Unicorn that runs around grassy fields. How does this stupid creature not burn everything around it? Why does the Pokemon media continue to show people riding it without getting roasted?
Now I get that it's Pokemon but Rapidash never sat well with me, it always broke the suspension of disbelief. And even then, it's just so bland. Cool, a horse on fire? Why does it not get more hate?
Zebstrika is actually an excellent design. They saw how a stylized thunderbolt can resemble a zebra's stripes and made that concept work together.
