>>58636589>feels like the devs go out of their way to make sure the steel specialist is always to least popular character of each gameTo be be most of the time it more about the circumstance around the character rather than the characters themselves
>Nobody gives a fuck about Byron, Wikstrom,The Gen 4 and 6 casts as a whole are forgettable . Outside of the protags, main villain leaders, Cynthia and Sycamore, the rest are literal whos, the males even more so .
>Molayne Only in the second version. Also Elite 4
>Rose,Genuinely shitty character. It like an intern wrote him in one day
>AmarysOnly in the second DLC
>Phillipehave no idea who that is so
> I also don't know why TPC and the devs still insist that Steven is a huge steel fan boyI think it’s solely because his ace is Metagross
If Ice type wasnt full of women it would have the same problem.
y it kind of does suck that the devs view my favorite type as something that isn't cool or marketable. They never make cool, story relevant, or marketable characters that people like to represent it,
As a fellow steel fan it does suck, but unlike many instances of Game Freaks fuck ups, it doesn’t feel intentional. It’s seems to be more a a consequence of steel being a rare type, meaning a character is less likely to have one. And steel considered strong enough that the few characters that get them tend to be later in the game.
Though the fact the many steel types are robotic, inorganic, or “worse” object mons (the latter is often considered the cardinal sin for some reason) doesn’t help steel’s case to be given to a “shillable” character. even Jasmine’s Steelix pretty much shares its place as Jasmine’s main mom with the Amphy despite the latter not being owned by her.
> so steel mons get much less art compared to every other type because of it.I could “um actually” you and mention Lucario, but I feel Lucario is the exception the proves the rule.
