>>32640871>You can get Riolu in BW2 before the Normal gymSo what? That isn't shilling, they've done this a million times before.
>It's Maylene's aceOh how horrible, a Fighting type gym leader with a Fighting type ace. Absolutely terrible. What else was she going to have? It was either Lucario or Toxicroak/Gallade, none of which suits her at all.
>Riley's only PokémonOh no, an NPC in an optional side-quest found in an optional area has it? Gamefreak is sooo forcing it down my throat. Funny how you mention the egg too without realizing that the whole point of Riley was to show off the reward for beating Iron Island to being with. Lucario in Gen 4 is like Volcarona in Gen 5, and does anyone call that shilling? No.
>Cynthia has it on her teamAnd that doesn't make sense, how? Cynthia's entire shtick is strong Pokémon. Her ace is literally a Pseudo Legendary, and she even has a Spritomb with NO weaknesses at all (a Pokémon that is even more difficult for the player to obtain than Lucario). Also, you cannot call Riley a major character. Nobody sees him as a major character, not even the game itself.
>GF is physically incapable of not including this mon in their games.And now you're complaining about it being OBTAINABLE AT ALL? Jesus Christ the amount of cherrypicking this board will go through to make it look worse than it is is sickening. Do you even know how many Pokémon this applies to? Do you despise Roserade, Vespiquen, Floatzel, Driflblim, Toxicroak, Bronzong, Hippowdon, Lumineon, Weavile, Rhyperior, Lickilicky, Electivire, Magmotar and Yanmega too? These are all just as available as Lucario is, only they are EASIER to obtain (not being One-Off or having a fucking 5% post-game only encounter rate, unlike Lucario). Hell, Bibarel has even been obtainable in EVERY SINGLE GAME since DP.
Yes, Lucario is shilled outside of the main games. And yes, it was shilled in XY. I'm not denying that. But saying it was shilled in ANY other main game is a downright lie.
