>>32369718Simple, because the anime has a lot more power then you may think. It can make you look at a pokemon in a way that you never thought you'd look at it. Nd it also has control over some pokemons popularity.
Think about this. Do remember that Japanese pole where greninja was the number one popular pokemon. Ya that was all thanks to the anime, the games wouldn't show you a ash-greninja in animation style with real personality.
And before you post.
>Greninja>Personality It had personality as a frokie and froggadire. But his personality as a greninja was calm and quite.
The anime influences a lot more things then you know. Why do you think people look down upon torterra. It's because of the anime.
