Oh I meant Weedle haha. I can see Porygon being popular again too! (Though I saw it having a hard time in the competitive sphere; not sure if you follow any of Smogon's metas, but Porygon was banned from use in Little Cup due to its Z-Conversion I think it was? And it had been a staple in the meta for awhile. Also Porygon2 is seeing use in VGC which really confuses me.)
HAH, I'm not sure it's that as much as people just like, don't like the characters. French/German/etc is whatever since it's still English langauge, but hiragana and hangul is too different. Idk, I think it's dumb as hell but I essentially run a Pokemon business, so if my customers want English names, I get them English names.
Huh, didn't know that at all. I'll keep it in mind!
