>>34140552Certainly so and I'm glad it did, but the "next Greninja" fan-hype based on the "cool-tough-feminine" trio archtype got dashed as the gen went on. Especially since Rowlet's the really popular and marketable one with normies while no one expected Incineroar to get movie prominence (antagonist role to Charizard or not) or such useful move tutors. Honestly, I'm kind of glad there's debate on this, it's a good sign there's no clear fan or GF favorite like last gen.
>>34140718Me too. The starters this gen get shat on too hard and even the humanoid-insult is overrated. They're pretty appealing, more than /vp/ thinks.
