I don't expect to see much of the Legends Pokemon in General unless there's a Time Travel Arc or flashbacks or something along the lines
It's Kinda hard showcase a species when they're Dead
Lmao
Maybe I should have mentioned Kukui's Incineroar instead lol
Also Smash Bros probably played major part in Incineroar's popularity. Much more so than the Anime
Lol this post also made me realize that if Cinderace is the Fire Greninja of Gen 8, then Inteleon is definitely the Water version of Braxien.
Both Inteleon and Braxien's notable Similarities:
-Both are the worst of their respective Trios competitively
-Both are very divisive in the Western...
Chestnaught was OU? :lapras:
Wow I never knew that given barely anyone talks about it.
I honestly feel like it may be the least popular Starter of all time? I don't for sure tho.
I guess that kinda reflects in the Anime where I think it only appeared in maybe one episode?

Inteleon is my favorite but I must admit, Cinderace has the best animations in the game and Pyro Ball is the strongest Signature move out of any Starter (being extremely good competitively helps)
Goh's Cinderace is just a precious bean and I wish we could see more of him. Definitely made me...
A more recent example I can think of would be Cinderace.
I remember when Cinderace first leaked and it got so much hate
Nowadays I rarely find anyone who hates it. Goh's Cinderace is really endearing wouldn't you agree?
Just out of curiosity, do you guys think that the Anime plays a big part in how popular some Pokemon are?
Like for example, were Pokemon like Piplup, Greninja, Incineroar, Wobbufett, etc popular even before their had their anime roles?
I vaguely remember Sceptile being the least popular of the...
