>>31648078Oh, I actually wasn't going against you when I said that, just that it's clearly popular in that regard.
I've already seen hints about a performing pokemon somehow making its way into the franchise though since, ever since a certain point, the anime was clearly intending to "broaden" their audience by picking on little girls' desires to perform/sing/dance and how they can make their dreams come true. Heck, this was heavily emphasized in XYZ. I never expected for it to be a starter though.
