>>32661576Gren was probably my favourite starter when it came out but the harder they shill it the more I dislike it. The fact that it's always been really strong in the meta and only keeps getting more and more broken doesn't help. I think Ass-Gren was the final straw though, it pushed its edginess up to eleven, plus I don't like they're shoehorning ill-conceived anime bullshit into the games as a marketing ploy. Even though its a pokemon I would otherwise like a lot all the recent shilling has really spoilt it for me.
The fact that they're shilling Rockruff and his line honestly makes little sense for me because the entire line is pretty bland. Maybe they looked at lucario's success and figured that the fanbase has a lot of wolfaboos in it so it'd be a sure hit? They might be right but honestly I don't feel much about this line either way.
I dislike Incineroar's design a lot, desu I've come to dislike all three of gen 7's starters for various reasons. The fact that they've picked this one to shill is confusing, surely Decidueye is the more natural choice because of the hood and the archer motif making it a natural fave for the edgy teen demographic. Anyway, I don't dislike Incineroar because it's shilled per se, I just hate it anyway because of its shit aesthetics and also because it was clearly meant to be yet another Fire / Fighting type that they slapped Dark typing onto at the last minute to cover their asses.
Also, you missed Zoroark, Darkrai, Genesect and arguably a couple of others, OP.
