And when have they not given special new Pokemon particular attention with each Gen? From Mewtwo (multiple times, including a new XY movie with Mega Mewtwo Y), to Shaymin, to Hoopa, they not only got new forms, but also special cards and their own movies. It's also a given. How, since 1996, have you not noticed this?
