>>56117922>More recentit has just as much of a reason to get a mega or not get a mega as meganium since both are neither the default pick of starters to show off a new mechanic (kanto starters) or the starters from the game being remade in the generation (hoenn starters)
>and was the third Fire/Fighting starter in a row. No shit it isn't popularyeah, being boring tends to make pokemon not popular, like when it has the third most common type combination in the entire series and just looks like a green cartoon dinosaur with no details except some flower petals slapped on
>Because they were focusing on giving Megas to older Pokemonand yet the sinnoh starters, typhlosion, and feraligatr never got megas either but their fans don't complain like meganium fans
>aren't even starters.that's the point, in the grand scheme of things meganium isn't unpopular or neglected because it gets free attention for being a starter. it gets an unrivaled raid, anime attention, plenty of merchandise, and all the other things that starters get for free meanwhile there are tons of pokemon that are exceedingly lucky just to get into a game, yet it's the meganium fans who are first to complain about not getting enough developer and fan attention.
