>>43796634>you have the same losers still going "b-b-but muh PIXIV numbers!"The amount of art something gets is always a shaky metric of popularity. Its a sign of some dedication from some fans, but often does not translate into tangible results
In this case, its clear there is a huge difference between how Intelleon ranks in polls but doesn't seem to translate to things like merchandise.
Honestly, I think its really clear that if they didn't give Scorbunny to Goh, there wouldn't be any debate as to which Galar starter Ash would get. And I say this as a man who likes Grookey best.
