I mean why did yamal legit choose zygarde? they're nothing alike at all
>>
>>59326857
To promote ZA. Him and all the other celebrities were reading a script
>>
>>59326857
Yamal is the type of guy that choose Gengar
>>
>>59326895
Is that true? Was that proven anywhere? Cringe if true.
>>
>>59327307
If it was scripted, do you honestly think they'd have given Leclerc fucking Arcanine? Like, actual Kanto Arcanine, when they admitted it needed a regional to promote it to modern children?
Yamal was 5 years old when XY launched, prime fucking target age for the shit, small wonder he picked the coolest legendary of the region.
>>
>>59327464
you do not understand the point of regionals literally at all if you think they make them because the original is somehow unmarketable, arcanine is one of the single most popular pokémon of all time. popular pokémon get regional forms just as often if not more than unpopular ones, there's no correlation.
>>
>>59327488
No non-Kanto Pokémon that got a regional form is popular. There l’s a reason why Pokemon that matter get megas instead
>>
>>59327488
You're right, I don't understand /vp/'s assumption regionals are something other than re-dressing failures to shill at new 7 year olds. The fact *actual* popular pokémon haven't gotten one, like Pikachu, Greninja, Charizard, Mewtwo, Garchomp, Eevee, Cinderace, etc. but an abject failure of a grass starter got one, the NEXT fucking Gen after its series debut nshould tell you they DON'T regionalis pokémon that sell. That are popular. That move merch just by existing.
Every fucking design they add is made to promote their series. If they're going back and re-designing older 'mons, giving them new typings and a different angle, they are in fact admitting the OG isn't doing the job they wish of it. And since there's now currently over a thousand shitters in-series, they're going back to scrape the drek of the series off the sides of the bowl and remixing them to try and sell all of the batter.
>>
>>59327505
Newsflash lad, no Kanto pokémon that got one is overwhelmingly popular either. Gengar and shit are, so they didn't get redesigns. but my mom's fire horse, fire dog and fire fox all DID get regional forms (with two of them even given the new shill type in Fairy). Because less people give a fuck for them vs CHAAAAAAAARIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!

Up until last July he was too young to browse here Shang.
'Course, he also has a multimillion euro job as a star footballer to worry about and social media channels to oversee, so small wonder he picked a good pokémon that children his age were expected to choose.
>>
>>59327510
not reading this schizo babble, the reason they make regionals is so they can sell the same thing twice to people who already like it, it's literally that simple. seethe about it i guess.
>>
>the reason they make regionals is to do what they've always did with every paired game they ever released
Nah, they KNOW not every cunt will buy every game, much less both versions of any release (they have the hard fucking sales figures you retarded little quim). They DO however want kids to buy merch of their things and if they go to the arse of re-designing an older design, it's to make kids want to buy it (as they clearly and obviously are not buying the original). Sorry you're favourite's a confirmed legitimate shitmon, but it's neither my problem, or worry. I'm mature enough to understand this isn't mine, never was and Game Freak gonna curate it to ensure the kids of the era continue to buy in, regardless what oldfags think, say or want.
>>
>>59326857
To shill ZA, there's no fucking other reason lol
>>
>>59327307
Please tell me you're being ironic and aren't actually this gullible
Do you also think that random stars that appear in commercials actually use the shit they claim to love when alone at home?
I'm sure Chris Pratt is stomping.. koopas right now
>>
>>59327505
The Hisuian trio's original forms are quite literally the most popular starters from their respective gens. Be real.
>>
>>59327651
Not with the target audience, which is the only audience Game Freak gives a fuck for.

>>59327791
yes, starter pokémon are all extremely popular. sometimes i swear you people get all your social interaction from /vp/
>>
>>59327869
And yet despite their higher popularity than the average in-region shitter, there's also TIERS to those attachment levels. enusaur is measurably less popular than Charizard, but Charizard's popularity pales in comparison to Bulbasaur's.
Yet "all are starters" and venuscucks been seething about being put in the "also-ran" box with Blatoise since they localised the anime, produced in reaction to Japanese opinions of everything up to production date.

Yamal was a kid when S&M came out
It's actually very realistic for Complete Zygarde to be his favorite if he played those games
>>
>>59328254
He also wasn't poor and grew up with an academy of like-minded children taking coach trips to play football matches. Motherfucker's likely better at pvp battling than most of /vp/.
>>
Zygarde-Complete should be a permanent forme change, and its ability should be Aura Break
>>
>>59328311
Mark my words, his mega will get aura break, or an upper version of it.
>>
>>59328262
Pretty sure he was brought up by his single mom in the ghetto of Barcelona
