They didn’t even bother to shill them. The problem is the shilled the ugly rabbit instead and now is too late to take it back

Toxtricity is great.

I love them so much, bros...
Obstagoon too

they weren't a flop they just weren't shilled at all
gotta force the shitty rabbit instead

This, one of my favorite gen 8 pokémon

Love this little nigga and I'm glad he wasn't shilled. All the leak season speculation on what caused the form difference was fun.

Zoroark

Good riddance

>dexcut after a single game
why are all of the gen 8 mons so shit?

Because they're based and don't want to appear in shit remakes of a shit region

I'm glad the rabbit shilling pretty much failed.

I can't tell, they're still shilling the hell out of him

Seems odd to me that Docile/Lax ones get 'Amped' whilst Bold and Serious are 'Low key'. Does anyone know how well are all the natures translated from their Japanese versions?

diaper joltik lol

He's still in the anime, wait until next gen and we'll see if he's quickly forgotten or not.

Rhydon

Toxtricity is weird in that you can tell it was meant to be a shillmon ingame but they did not market it whatsoever.
It's hardly an unpopular design, so I wonder why they didn't do it.

*Incineroar*

I play bass and he's my favourite

They're ugly as fuck

You have something in common then.

Doesn't seem like he flopped.

Wonder what it would look like now
