>>50097222Because everyone with a brain knows GameFreak and TPC only care about Pikachu, Eevee and Lucario (Kanto, Johto and Hoenn remakes notwithstanding), and that all other Pokemon (yes, even your dear Charizard, remember PLA?) are worth less than dirt and designed to be disposed by the time the next generation's audience gets into Pokemon no matter HOW much of a smash hit they are.
Remember Greninja, THE most popular Pokemon in recent time? Me neither, because it threatened the balance of mascots being a Rule of Three, especially threatening Lucario's position.
