>people wanted charizard>TPC started pushing it>TPC stop>people demanded Charizard back>it came back to shill shit>ever since, they trot it out to show they still think of the fans (ie - the casuals who still like the games and don't invest their lives wishing they were made expressly for their now-adult mindsets)The fact you miss when they shill it, they see a direct increase in profits earned in that particular line of the franchise (regardless what line - plushies, figurines, plastic blisterpack toys, card sets, adult-focused shite).
It's also why they rarely shill stuff from your starting Gen - it's not that popular to be considered majorly popular and what is you shit on because you don't like it.
