>>37782915>The starter war concluded when Incineroar got into Smash thanks to Sakurai liking wrestlingNo, the starter wars only kicked in when the truth came and it was later found out that Decidueye was considered alongside Incineroar and there was actually a point Decidueye was pondered before him where Incineroar had more prominence in a movie over the rest and Sakurai had a interview literally asking who was the hot pokemon currently in the movies.
If that wasn't blatant, I don't know what is.
And don't fucking come to my face saying Sakurai loves wrestling when asian mist wasn't even considered even though that's a ILLEGAL WRESTLING MOVE that could have worked perfectly fine with Incineroar and yet, wasn't considered. So fuck your privileged cat.
