>>55478344The only reason I can think of that Typhlosion was created specially to be unpopular, as a dud to to make CHARIZARD look cooler, stronger. That would explain why it almost never appears anywhere, and almost never get buffs. And honestly, for a fully evolved Pokemon it looks, really plain, even by early Gen standards.
However, we accept that, then we have to accept that Game Freak is utterly incompetent, even more so than we thought, Because apparently they're too stupid to make a "Bad" Pokemon design Pokemon fans in general don't hate Typhlosion, At worst newer fans overlook it or don't know that is exists but going by
>>55477677 Its's fairly liked, by the general audience.
>Typhlosion only had to complete with Johto Pokemon and Johto Pokemon all suck Even i we accept that Johto is objectively the worse new roster, this cope doesn;t work. Typhlosion was number 4, so only Johto Pokemon that have any value at all ar ethe ones the scored higher than Typhlosion? So Scizor, Ampharos, Espeon, Furret, Suicine, and mother fucking Houndoom are all completely unappealing and unmarketable? Even though half those fuckers were considered worthy of megas? Even though Furret gets constant merch? Even though normies worship Houndoom so much that it not being early in a Johto games is the go to argument for despising Johto?
Like ,what the fuck is even going on here?
