OH! I thought you meant an illusionist Pokemon that was more popular as a psychic type than Alakazam!
I was gonna say, I fucking love illusionist characters so how is this not my favorite psychic type???

Actually how would a psychic illusionist work in Pokemon? Dark type does it by disguising itself, but I'd imagine psy would do it in a different way that was meant to entice or subdue the opponent, instead of just misdirect them.

Golem isn't even possible to register as seen without trading. The others are at least used by trainers.

Having part of your line banned from TCG and anime appearance hurts your popularity.

I apologize for the poor wording. If I had to identify something as the face of psychic-types, I would select Mewtwo, or, if legendaries don't count, Mr. Mime or Gardevoir despite their fairy-typing.

Alakazam is still the face of psychics imo

The only psychic mon more iconic is maybe Mewtwo, but that's a legendary and not really a good mon to represent a whole type

On the subject of that, what are some other Pokemon that are vlear madcots for their type?

Electric - Pikachu
Fairy - Sylveon

Onix got much more of a spotlight because it was the ace of the first gym, was even on Bruno's team in the elite 4, and got a lot of prominence in the anime due to being depicted as huge.

Maybe if Bruno had a Golem on his team it'd be more notable, or if Brock had evolved his Geodude in the anime it would have gotten a chance to shine.

I feel like trade evos should be available in the wild but only in the late game so trading is still useful to get these strong mons early

Thank God I grew up in the late 90s early 2000s, I had no shortage of peers with Gameboys loaded with Pokemon.
I literally asked some random kid playing Pokemon in the corner if he would trade with me, and he said yes.
We became friends for the next 3 years.

You could get an in-game trade Machamp in Yellow. Japanese Blue has in-game trades for Gengar and Golem.

Can't believe I was cucked as a kid out of playing some of the most iconic mons as well as some of my favourite designs.
This might be the reason why I never liked Gengar much despite loving Ghost Types.
I automatically got an Abra in my PLA team and fully evolved it, too.
