>>36896667They'll most likely never release the ballot results, so we'll also never know exactly who placed where on the ballot, but I don't doubt all of those characters bar Piranha Plant could have done fairly well.
>Echoes, which are basically glorified skins, and most of which were outright said to have been added due to fan demand anyway.>Isabelle getting a decent number of votes isn't inconceivable. Like it or not she's a popular character at this point and has essentially hijacked the position of Animal Crossing mascot from both the villager and Tom Nook.>There were probably some simply epic ironic memesters who voted for Piranha Plant, and probably also a few votes for Petey Piranha that got rolled into it (why they wouldn't just make Petey playable in his own right I have no clue). Besides that, anon said "up to this point", and Piranha Plant was revealed after Incineroar was.So no, they're not exceptions as far as we know, it's just Incineroar, and I'll tell you why. Incineroar is different from all of those characters for one simple reason, and that reason is that we know for a fact exactly how many votes it got in the ballot;
zero.
