>>54721706Almost nobody cares about Meowth having multiple forms because it has no counterparts, and Pikachu being a "counterpart" is just an anime thing. There are many types of cats, but the wrong thing is picking Meowth all the time.
Now, Charizard gets things for no reason, like two mega forms, they find a way to use it in Alola, and it's also in Galar's dex (at least they explain that one). It's the only starter pokemon without counterparts that entered "Patch 1" in SV without any reason. Yes, Rowlet, Cyndaquil and Oshawott also entered without their counterparts, but it was because of Legends.
That r*ddit person should at least use Greninja as an example of "double standard" instead of Meowth
or Slowpoke.
