>>57260418not that schizo anon and I don't think Game Freak wrote that dumbass story with the intent to sabotage one of their own products, since that would be a level of retarded beyond even Game Freak. .
However, I do think they didn't expect Typhlosion to be as liked as was (yes nufags Typhlosion had fans before being a scapegoat for pedos), so they chose for it for that story because they didn't consider its reputation as important as other Pokemon of the franchise. Look at the Pokemon that appear in Tera leak, notice how they're mostly just shitmons or fodder no one give a shit about. The man who wrote them thought, use a shitmon no one cares about for my creepshit either people like it and we get more world building, or the people hate the storiies and the Pokemon gets its rep ruined forever (which is what happend) and we can just throw it under the bus like we did with porygon but far worse.
But of course Game Freak in a rare moment of common sense, scrapped the stories, since all Pokemon are someone's favorite, but being the absolute retards they are let it get leaked instead of deleting it. so here we are
tdlr They aren't malicious, just criminally negligent. something that's been obvious since the beginning.
