Next to no one gave a shit about Lickitung, even though its from Gen 1 and had a prominent spot in the anime.
Then cue the people crawling out of the woodwork pretending to have cared about it when they realized that shitting on cross evos was the cool thing to do. Why do people care if something they gave no fucks about was "ruined"?
If anything, they made it cuter so that at least SOMEONE would like it. That's better than what you could say about it before, so not at all ruined.
