Many of the alola Pokémon deserved better (like Silvally), and some may as well have been shat on by Game Freak themselves (like midnight form Lycanroc).

Do you follow VGC at all?
I don't know what Salazzle is doing now, but it had a pretty nice niche in VGC at least a while back.

What the fuck happened here? Salandit and to a lesser extent Salazzle were popular enough but TPCi ignored them completely. They don't have any merch.

Salandit at least has some little figurines. Salazzle has absolutely nothing. Certainly doesn't help that she's one of the poster Pokemon for Team Skull, which has almost no presence in the anime, and Salazzle randomly debuted out of fucking nowhere as one of Lusamine's Pokemon for some reason and then never seen again.

It's because I don't think Plumeria will show up in the anime and they wanted to show off Salazzle then. Hell, for all we know, Guzma could just show up in the League as one of the other challengers - it's not even hinted at that TS has a boss in the shadows.

If you pose her correctly, you can show off her more badass side than her sexual one. Though that just raises the question of why they'd make such a sexual design in the first place. Not that I mind.

Game Freak must've went overboard with the reverse harem thing like how they went overboard with midnight form Lycanroc's completely red eyes.

I personally think it's possible for something to be sexy without being overtly fanservicey or indecent, and I think Salazzle pulls that off pretty well

It's offensive enough when people try and suggest breaking the tenants of a pokémon game, but when Game Freak do it themselves is worse. Thank fuck they climbed down from that in VII, Z Moves, ie something ALL Pokémon, instead of a select handful can use, are better, both in execution and engagement. Never used ME in VI, been using Z moves all the time in VII.

I'm sad Lycanroc as a whole didn't turn out to be great. Dusk at least gets the best ability out of all three of them, and a big enough movepool that it can capitalize on it. Wish it got Ice Fang though.

Salazzle and Plumeria are very much alike. They're both female leaders of a mostly male group, they're tough but also more sexual than most characters, and they're routinely ignored by Gamefreak.
I guess somehow they reminded him of Lusamine?
