QotD: Why hasn’t your favorite Pokemon gotten the attention they truly deserve?

For whatever reason Meganium is just not that popular with fans. I love it’s design as I tend to like Dinosaur inspired Pokémon but most people seem to be apathetic at best towards it. In the games it’s stat distribution, movepool, and ability have always been less than great leaving it outclassed by other grass types with similar roles. It hasn’t had a prominent presence in the tcg, it’s last appearance was in Lost Thunder in 2018. You’d think with it being a starter it would get more love… I guess there’s just not enough demand from fans.

Meganium has a beautiful design and bayleef isnt bad either, but chikorita is the weakest design of the starters. Its like a sentient jellybean.

It’s all Chikorita’s fault. Looks like Ursula from little mermaid got reborn as an aubergine.

As weak as charmander… But that’s also what makes them cute.

I haven’t been able to keep up with these :frowning:

This one is interesting because I would prefer they neglect my fav ‘mons rather than give a uninteresting cgi EX, GX, V, ex… etc. every few sets.

Sandslash Kingler and Ninetales arent exactly popular pokemon but they def have a ton of love other mons would kill to have. If i were to guess why they arent as popular it would be due to being not-commonly loved archetypes (Legend, Early Bird, Early Rodent, Etc.) and not on a popular trainers team? Although kingler has ash but he isnt really a star player.
