>>53488231>PikachuIt's the official mascot and that's why it gets a pass. The only people that get mad over Pikachu shilling is Raichufags because Raichu is "ignored" and also because of the "Pikachu good, Raichu bad" episodes.
>CharizardTPC keeps forcing people to like Charizard by giving him things he didn't deserve. Also people hate its shilling because TPC don't know how to shill a pokemon and needs to make Charizard's competitors look bad.
Charizard is literally the Pokémon version of Dick Dastardly, he gets ahead, tries to cheat, but doesn't always lose.
>>53488287Charizard and Pikachu won fair and square, Gen 6+ made them look like they're popular just because of gimmicks.
>>53488346>My heckin overdesigned obese neckbeard pig would be just as popular if they shilled it!True and rent-free at the same time
Of course it wouldn't reach Charizard levels, but Emboar would probably be on Unova's Top 10 if they shilled it like they do with Charizard. Muk would never get more votes than Nidoking (or reach Top 30) if he wasn't an Ashmon.
