>>46291136ok imagine if Nintendo conducted a poll for who their favorite Nintendo character is.
If Mario didn't win, should they replace him with the winner of the poll?
NO! of course not.
Why is it that a sizable chunk of Pokemon fans hate their own mascot, but other fanbases aren't nearly as much like this.
>>46291141>artificial popularitysee I've never understood this term because if Pikachu was truly not popular, then why does it perform and do so well in sales? Also there was a statement by Koji Nishino that Pikachu was picked for mascot because of its popularity.
Once again /vp/ shows that they know nothing about marketing.
