>>14872No, but there are a myriad of others. Some of whom turned out successful, some that did not. Some more aimed towards "normies" than the wild poke-fucker, though others like Loppunny, especially the mega version, are certainly as overt as they come.
Lucario is a good example of these things never being 'guaranteed', and no amount of intent can override natural appeal.
Fellah's got 30k on E621, after all, where Vaporeon, Lopunny, and Salazzle don't manage half that. Hell, poor Salazzle doesn't even hit 10k. Though, mind you, Vaporeon is more 'meme' than intention from Nintendo.
