>>55080439>RedGets unduly wanked and favoritism treatment because of K-K-KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and being the OG protag despite literally every single protag having bigger and greater feats than him.
>CynthiaIt's Cynthia.
>LeonThe most pathetic and transparent at forcing a character's popularity in the history of the franchise. An entire region that sucks his dick 24/7. DA STWONGEST because... he just is okay!? Shilled so fucking hard they even used other long-standing characters and even fellow Champions as props to artificially raise him up.
And of course, there's Charizard. I steadfastly hold the belief that Charizard was not given to Leon to shill Charizard, no, Charizard was given to Leon to SHILL Leon. So that he'd become more "popular" or "liked" through association with the shillzard.
This is the trifecta of overratedness, but overall? I'd say the winner is Leon because of how hard they tried to force him.
Red's the OG, for better or worse, and that gives you status.
Cynthia's popularity was thoroughly organic. She earned her popularity.
But Leon? A complete insult and total shitstain in the franchise.
