Why is one regional bug so popular?

And why is it entirely justified?

Because Gen 5 has Regional Bugs that didn't have Shitty stats and weren't just butterflies and moths

Same reason they gave Pelipper Drizzle.

It was shit, and now it's not.

They realized it should've had Speed Boost to begin with.

Because it's a unique and good design that's still relatable to the real life bug it's based off of.

This is opposed to "literally my mom's butterly." Leavanny also has some popularity due to this but is overshadowed by Scolipede. Wormadam is also unique but it's absolute garbage competitively and in-game, so people don't like it that much.

But they gave Pelipper Drizzle because it had an empty Ability slot.

I didn't even realize Scolipede/Leavanny are Gen 5's "regional bug"s until now. They're just good Pokémon. They shouldn't force themselves to make garbage butterflies every game, just make good pokémon that happen to have a Bug typing.

Vikavolt has good stats too. It just has them in the wrong place.

Shitpede is only popular on this board.

No one in the real world gives a shit about any of the Unova bugs except for Volcarona and Genesect.

Technically Wormadam is also a Butterfly/Moth Pokémon, albeit one that stays as a caterpillar. Same with Pineco and Forretress.

Other bugs are catching up but Scolipede was good from the get go.
