>>28414630What? Gothorita is the best in the line, whereas Kirlia is the worst.
Gothitelle isn't a sexy human shape, isn't readily available early on in game, and is a version exclusive so only 50% of players really had a chance to engage with it. Plus, the Reuniclus line is way cuter so it got more attention. It is weirdly shaped.
For the record, I think Gothitelle is way more interesting than Gardevoir, but it doesn't really try to appeal to people in the same way. It's only "Humanoid" in the loosest sense of the word.
>>28415318I don't mind them being single-type but your proposed dual-types are pretty fun. Though Gothitelle would be better as Psychic/Dark, maybe.
>>28415968This is a bit of a fraught question. Is something like Dwebble / Crustle a riff on Paras / Parasect or more its own thing? How about Blitzle and Ponyta? A lot of things don't perfectly line up.
For most lines that you CAN compare I like both for different reasons, though I will say that I like Pidove more than Pidgey and I like Woobat more than Zubat, and Trubbish/Garbodor are WAY better than Grimer/Muk.
