Being fodder for porn isn’t the success you think it is
>>59126355>>59126358Because we don't have public access to merchandise sales, tag counts are unironically the best metric we have for a character, species or generation's popularity.
>>59126343>>59126359Still pretty low
>>59126358it's a metric that typically correlates with the broader trend
>>59126359People could make a list of which pokemon has the most merchandise available to be purchased at the Japanese Pokemon Center online store. It's not the same, but it's better than nothing and would serve as a very rough estimate of which pokemon TPC thinks is profitable. https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/pokemon-list/
>>59127525Someone Japanese person on Pokemonbbs used to do that every year but the owner of the site closed the forums in January :(
>>59127525That would be much better since logically it makes since to pander to what peopw want but it wouldn’t quite measure the popularity, just what TPC and Game freak want people to, it would heavily favor shillmons like Charizard and meganium. Organically popular pokemon that aren’t shillmons would be heavily underrepresented.
>>59127553And first stage cutemons, since that's what most would buy as plushies and the like other than shillmon
>>59127530so that's why we no longer got those screenshot threadsthey used to always dunk on borts
