>>42221893>specifically tailored to be the best in VGCWow! A Pokemon made for doubles and VGC! That's never happened before - oh wait, yes it has, and it's continued to happen even in Gen 8.
>tons of screentime in the anime and the only fully-evolved Alola starter of Ash's teamNeither of these things automatically make it a shillmon. Ash didn't even get Incineroar until the SM series was basically over.
>shoehorned into Smash (if Sakurai really wanted a wrestling character, he could have picked the wrestler from Rhythm Heaven)Picking a character you, personally, do not like, does not make them "shoehorned." Also, nobody gives a shit about Rhythm Heaven outside an extremely small number of people, especially not outside Japan.
>despite all this, it still became less popular in Japan than Rowlet and Primarina;Japan likes cute shit; in other news, water is wet, and people die if they are killed.
>overall it isn't even as popular as Typhlosion or Feraligatr despite the two almost never being shilledYou keep using the word "shill," despite clearly not understanding what it actually means.
>Organically my ass.Yes, organically. Incineroar wasn't given its own movie where it was presented as a furry human with knockoff Force powers, nor was it given the highest explorer rank before its debut, nor did NPCs in-game go on about how super special and amazing it is, while also giving it a super form, every move under the Sun, and entire anime arcs. These are all things Lucario had, for example. That you have such a ridiculous complex about this fictional Looney Tunes cat speaks volumes about how pathetic you are. In your own words: You are wrong, and you should feel bad.
