I think she mentioned that as a counter argument to nickdt, who argues that Gorochu would be problematic in the US due to being misconstrued to be demonic/referencing the devil in the 1990. Whereas, lavandula argues that the US audience would be wrong for associating it with the devil. And also referencing the representation of Oni as adversarial characters in anime (which could've been counter intuitive to Pikachu's role as a protagonist.)I don't think that Gorochu means anything. It's a scrapped Pokemon and that's all that it will ever be.
