>>45802005>Pokemon battling is a sport, and the series has always promoted values like friendship, compassionThis was only up until Gen 5
Ever since Gen 6, Pokemon started to be blatantly biased and imply to people that if they picked the non-shillmon starter then they did a mistake
Look at how many shows with MC caring about only 1 single Pokemon (Charizard or Pikachu)
>Pokemon Origins (Charizard, rest of Pokemon get zero love) >Pokemon Megas Special (Charizard, rest of Pokemon get only there to lose) >Pokemon Twilight Wings (MC is obsessed with Charizard) Pokemon doesn't care about friendship anymore.
They are just trying to make Charizard the only Pokemon that matters while everyone go fuck off if they don't like Charizard.
Venusaur and Blastoise were ignored like if they never existed in Gen 8 until the first DLC.
