Starting from their headline appearance in Pokken, to Pokemon Snap, a new Gigantamax form, and now launching with Pokemon Unite as a playable character, somebody in TPC must be a serious Machamp fan, cause they're shilling this guy hard.

It's fascinating because unlike say Charizard, Machamp was never the most popular Pokemon (at least in my circles growing up) and always was ignored in favor of the other trade evolutions. Is there a reason behind this push, or did they just realize a four-armed brawler makes for fun gameplay implementations? How are the Machamp fans taking this new age of prosperity? I've never used them in a mainline game before, but it's become one of my favorite Pokemon now just because they're so fun in spin-offs.
