Kanto and Alola make sense, but was there any meaning behind featuring Sinnoh mons in this movie?

Piplup is an anime shillmon and Lucario is a shillmon in general.

They just don't care.
Sinnoh anime and movies were very popular in japan

What about Luxray

Why does every use of a Pokemon in the fucking POKEMON cartoon have to have some hidden meaning for you autists?
They used Gen 4 Pokemon because they FELT LIKE IT.
The boy that join Ash use a Lucario. The girl use a Piplup.
Maybe the same guy with Incineroar and night doggo use Luxray.

They replaced the pink Butterfree? this movie keeps getting worse and worse.

They randomly made it a main in the XY anime despite it having nothing to do with gen 6, so it's probably some high ranking staff member's bro.
Gen IV is the second most popular generation in Japan.

>still no mega
>still no Z-move
REEEE if you want to make it popular at least do it right
>>32773723
Because there's usually a meaning. The anime is used to shill and market current/upcoming stuff

Yes. More diverse pokemons.
The anime writers were probably just bummed they couldn't do anything for DP's 10th anniversary, so they threw a bunch of gen 4 Pokemon in.
