For the first time in over 20 years, a Johto Starter was given the spotlight instead of being overshadow by KANTOOO for the umpteenth time. And not just any Johto starter, it was Meganium, the most neglect member of the most neglected starters.
After years of abuse (Its region is stuck being "West Kanto", being skipped over in Megas and Z moves despite being a starter and both gimmick being named after it, getting stuck with Leaf Guard despite Flower Veil being perfect and actually being good, being the only starter in the history of the game to become Untiered (Even Typhlosion just managed to avoid by being to good for PU even though Game Freak probably hate that more than Meganium considering how they maade it into a one-trick-eclair at let Charizard mog it all the fucking time), No moveset aside from screens, and getting banned from Galar to give attention to Shillaboom..
After years a abuse the franchise finally decide to give Johtofags a fucking break by featuring Meganium in the trailer and cover of a game that people only care about because Sword and Shit was so awful.
