>>48378746most of these weird one-off """"mythicals""""" like volcanion and zeraora and zarude would be waaaay more popular if they were just, like, regular Pokemon with prevos and what not.
There's really nothing inherently special about them other than maybe some decent BSTs? But by making them mythical pokemon and giving them shitty movies they raise the bar, and as such makes people not like them. Especially since their presence in the game is so non-existent.
