>>50608327>>50608290Thanks for playing smoothie.
>>50608332Clearly not that much and Decidueye utterly failed to attract kid attention ack in Gen 7 ecause Primarina AND Incineroar also existed and were added the same Gen it was. Samurott's despised for not standing up/ruining dewott (delete as appropriate, heard both arguments many times here from Anon as to why it sucks as a design. Personally I love it anyway, even efore its retool)and typhlosion gets called "worse charizard" and has shitsheds forcing a poop meme.
Yeah, they're popular. but they're not popular enough to avoid the great "fuck up fixing process", are they? Again, they didn't pick 'Zard, Primarina, Infernape, Greninja - you know any the POPULAR final stage forms for this shit, haven't picked a popular pokémon to retool either (as in ones that pull their weight in merch revenue, not ones with dipshits on the internet stanning them as they got a shiny shitmon in-game as a kid). And until Game Freak regionalise Pikachu instead of its ignored evolution, I can only assume Regionals are to make less-popular 'mons popular with normies by changing up their OG form to something the normies of the modern era buy up blindly.
