“Popularity” is all Cynthiafags have now

>Defeated by the main with just one Pokémon
>Having a close match with somebody pre journeys she would’ve swept prior
>Leon being announced as the strongest in the games and anime
>Cynthia stopped appearing in two generation of games (Sun and Moon really shouldn’t count because even Wally appeared there and Annabel. It’s almost like they were using popular characters that could mega).

It’s clear outside of game promotion (which is done with) the series no longer cares for her like they originally did. They’re more focused on shilling Leon and now all Cynthia fags can resort too “well she’s popular no matter what”
