You should like a pokémon regardless of the popularity.
Good for you if the pokémon you like is popular as long it's not the reason you like it.

Not that guy but does it matter? Jigglypuff has gotten to ride the popularity wave since the beginning for the franchise because of the anime and Smash.

Plus Japan loves her. At least, I know they used to.

You shouldn't like or dislike a Pokemon based on its popularity, rather whether you like it or not. That being said, most of what you listed is a plus.

Its not that you shouldn't like popular mons, its that mons like charizard and lucario have some of the shittiest fanbases. Even if you might not be part of the cancer, you'll probably get lumped in anyway.

I sort of know how it feels, bro. Apparently liking Machamp makes you a baracunt or someone who shitposts about Suicune being in Pokken.

I fell in love with this pokemon's design as a child and since they weren't available until so late in their game never actually got to try one out until i got back into the games during 4th gen. If only I had known GF had absolutely no intentions of making Magcargo at all usable, maybe I wouldn't of let myself get so attached to it. As is, Magcargo is my favorite pokemon, and despite all the downfalls, it always has a spot saved on my favorites team.

You'd think there'd be a big market for ball pillows of Golem, Voltorb, Electrode, Jigglypuff, and other spherical pokemon, but nah. At least not for Golem.

I want a big round Golem pillow, dammit.

not him, but its not just smash characters getting amiibo
For instance, they just announced the mario one seperate from smash, do you really think nintendo is daft enough to not release at least the other 2 original starters in amiibo form? all the genwunners and nostalgiafags like me will scoop em up

I personally don't care so long as you aren't being a nostalgiafag. I remember one video on youtube where the guy calls Charizard bad for competitive play, which is true, and the video got thumbs downed to oblivion and all the comments were saying shit like
>"Competitive Pokemon doesn't matter"
>"I was able to solo the e4 in Red with my charizard"

Dammit, I really just wanted to play Eevee in Smash and Pokken, is that so much to ask? Evolution could totally have played a part in it's attacks and it would have been awesome.
