What do you think are some Pokemon that Gamefreak/TPC didn't expect to be liked?

We often talk about "Failed Shillmon" (Or rather Pokemon that Gamefreak/TPC planned on being popular but it didn't pan out as well they had hoped such as Zoroark or Incineroar, etc...)
But what opposite Direction?

What are some Pokemon that Gamefreak/TPC DIDNT intend on having fans but still ended up having sizable fanbases anyways?
I'll start with an obvious example:

Gamefreak outright confirmed that they were expecting Blaziken to be unpopular because they thought players would find it Ugly and were shocked to see how popular it became


What are some other Pokemon you think might had this affect on Gamefreak/TPC?

In my personal opinion I also think that certain Starters such as Decidueye, Primarina and Inteleon (in Japan at least) ended becoming more popular than Gamefreak had intended
