>>44624207It's more like they don't have a vocal fanbase, really. Golurk seems more like it has a vocal minority that like it. It can fly and learn Fly despite not being a flying type or having Levitate, its arms can retract, and it can become a cannon to fire off attacks. Its shiny is cool, too. The only reason for unpopularity I can think of is a poor in game sprite/model to represent it and being associated with James Turner and Vanilluxe's line. Even then, that didn't stop ultra beasts like Poipole/Naganadel.
>>44625711I would consider myself a fan of it. I think part of it was being shield exclusive when sword was more popular, partly due to Zacian.
>>44626220I don't think Gallade counts. Beyond beign a borderline shillmon riding Gardevoir's fame, it was pretty common in gen 4 teams and promoted decently. I vaguely remember a decent amount of Gallade profile pictures, too.
>>44627871I think Aggron's popular enough to avoid this. I've seen it on a fair number of in-game teams, it got a mega evolution, it could be much worse in competitive, it's a member of Steven's team, it kicks off Ash vs. Paul- one of the most popular ashnime battles and there's stuff like this floating around.
