>>57534447I sure hope so, otherwise some poketuber made and edited a 27 minute video about nothing at all for no reason. I'm willing to bet that's the conclusion regardless if it's true or not, title and length gives it away. Nobody makes a near 30 minute vid to say they're wrong at the end.
Chikorita hate stems from it being a defensive grass type in a game that doesn't support that very well and it being not that great at it. In game teams like sweepers, the enemy cannot hurt you if they are dead. Chikorita is a cleric in a game that likes blaster casters and barbarians, a cleric with no save-or-sucks. In game teams like grass types for status and leech seed hax, Chikorita does not do this. It can set screens and die slowly, and you spent a slot on that. The great rainbow sin of our time is not responsible for the reputation of Chikorita, that has been earned over twenty years.
