>receives most attention in merchandise Now i know you're full of it. Walk into an official pokemon center and his stuff is with the other starters were it should be. The only Frog-centric merchandise it'll be getting is the amiibo shit that comes with the perks of Sakurai wankery.
>WAHHH! PEOPLE LIKE A THING ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS PUSHED!I don't like Charizard much, but even i know that he was well loved even before it's anime stardom, and even with it being shit in-game. There's a difference between popularity and push.
