>>56014911Yes, people loved Rowlet, but loved a meme sea slug better than a ganky retard with wing-hands. As evidenced by the anime outright admitting its evos were shitmon, by Everstoning Ash's Rowlet, forever preventing it from evolving and forever enshrining rowlet as the most popular part of its line.
I might also add, they don't actually regionalise popular pokémon. Otherwise we'd have gotten Alolan Charizard, Galarian Charizard, Hisuian Charizard and Paldean Charizard instead of it getting shilled as a ridemon and with megas, with a Gmax form, not shilled in the slightest, as it wasn't native to the region and shilled as the first Unrivalled raid, so if your favourite got a redesign, congrats on picking a shitmon. I'm too normie to be so unique.
