>>55476481Cinderace's issue is that it is wholly forgettable. Like yeah it's okay but its really just another "coolmon" in an already long line of them.
Alongside other factors that also didn't help it:
>It debuted in the most controversial generation to date >Got overshadowed by a gorilla in competitive >Anime tried to pair it up with Lucario which only resulted in Lucario overshadowing it >Immediately got replaced by a monkey in the anime shortly after evolving >It's popularity got overshadowed by a twink in it's home country >The furry fandom immediately dropped it as soon as they saw Meowscarada >Literally only tied to sports promotions now Yeah Cinderace had his time but it came and it went. Emphasis on went
