Someone explain to me why this piece of shit got so popular in

I think it's his backstory in the anime

lol naruto kids in japan like it

What makes you think kids, Pokemon's target audience, liking it is not a good reason?

i dont get it, delphox should be the popular oneeeeeeee

>>27631256
I wonder how will you react when they announce it for SM ? Like there's a doubt about that. They brought Perfect Cell and everyone was convinced it will stay anime-exclusive. And like you said, this thing is ultra popular in Japan.

Anything Zygarde related only fucking complete retards thought would be anime exclusive.

Gamefreak's Lightning

I actually think it's great kids today love him. They have their own charizard now

>as a starter, Greninja was carefully designed to be popular
>some time after its creation, they also thought it would be a good idea to put in Sm4sh, which would further increase its popularity
>they also gave it to Ash because they decided that in XY Ash would finally be a decent trainer, so the "coolest" and most competitively viable starter should go to him
>unsurprisingly, all of that marketing worked and the frog became insanely popular, so popular that they decided to use its popularity to promote some mechanics that would appear in future games (this synchro bullshit)
And that's how Ash-Greninja was created.

Additionally, Ash-Greninja served as ANOTHER popularity tool for Greninja, making it win that event distribution poll, officially making it Pokémon's new lightning

tl;dr there's no brakes in the memefrog popularity train

I dunno man but my three lil bros absolutely love Greninja

I think it's literally the charizard of their generation since X and Y was all of my bros first Pokemon games
