>>48616264I'm more upset about Togepi in terms of shafter pokemon.
>shows up near end of season 1>second next gen pokemon to be shown after Ho-oh>gets stolen from main character last second to become prop for other character to hold>uses metronome once every 20 episodes for plot>it must evolve next season when they go to Johto>johto seasons come and go>Misty and Togepi leave>cameo partway through gen 3>evolves>released>k byeTogepi should be reclassified as the edging Pokemon, because 10 year old me hled their breath for years waiting to see what that stupid, useless son of a bitch would turn into and what it would do. And by the time it did, nobody cared.
I even did a solo Togepi run when Silver version came out back in 1999, excited to see for myself, and have never been more disappointed in my life.
To be a "mascot" for Pokemon back then, it got shafted hard.
