It’s a cool yet underutilized Pokémon and the base stage of arguably the most popular pseudo legendary that’s the ace of arguably the most popular champion.

But I get it’s not everyone’s preference. I’ve never understood the appeal of Lucario in a similar fashion.

The major problem was that it always was a foe to beat against Ash and the execution was poorly done compared to DP's two times. Unova did it the worst way possible, Kalos did it annoying, and Alola you could totally tell they absolutely had to make sure to show it so they inserted it into the last person you'd never think would have one (...that being said, it's a bit incredible they just didn't give it to Gladion like how he has one in the games, but I guess that weird Lycanroc change (which ended up affecting Olivia's on the side) took priority).

Now, though, Ash can raise his own and it's not going to be a waste. (...But once again, figures the next returning character after Lance is freakin' Korrina, so I totally agree they're shoving Lucario a bit too much with her around now.)

In the case of Lucario (among others like Houndour) I think the root of it is that some fans wish Ash would get more then 5-6 Pokemon per region and so when they see him interact with a Pokemon and they like the dynamic they had but when he ends up not getting it they wish he did. He didn't just get a movie with Lucario there was also that Riolu 2-partner in DP. This is why I think "Lucario for Ash" is so popular.

I moreso meant Lucario in general but that probably plays a part in it.

He was caught near the end of DP and didn't get much time to shine

We like Gible because it turns into Garchomp. Also, typing "Ash's Garchomp" feel great and we should not denied of that!

It was already very insulting seeing Ash rely on Lusamine's Ride Garchomp when he had a Gible capable of evolving on Oak.

With Korrina returning the egg will almost 100% hatch into a Riolu. Sobble is a far second place for the egg to hatch into but it won't since I believe that Leon will give Ash a starter as a gift similar to how you get your starter in the Sword and Shield games.

If the egg does end up hatching into a Riolu (Which it probably will) I could see Ash's Riolu having a small (completely one sided) rivalry with Korrina's Lucario

Lies.
Eevee and Charizard are guilty of that.
Name one Lucario that actually had a major role, that's right. NONE!
Charizard is owned by Ash, a Gary Stu, Kiawe, and Leon. Eevee was owned by May and Serena, and owned by Virgil, Lana, and we'll most likely be adding Go to that list.
Lucario only showed up in one episode in BW, jobbed in the two episodes it appeared in SM, and the one region Lucario could have been pushed to death like you all constantly moan about and pretend it does? They didn't, only Maylene and Riley had it. They easily could have had Paul or Barry owning one, or give Cynthia one like in the games but no... the only non-Garchomp Pokemon aside from Cynthia she used during DP was a freaking Gastrodon. Hell Gladion owns a Lucario in the games too but they passed him up on that!
Ash's Lucario is the first and only Lucario to have an actual major role.

Who knows the scene could happen when Ash is introducing the newly hatched pokemon to all his and Go's Pokemon and the first thing it does is try to attack the first Pokemon it sees

That doesn't really matter if Riolu doesn't want to evolve or if it eats an everstone. Still Riolu not evolving is unlikely but I don't completely trust the writers not to screw it up

I'm going to laugh then cry if the writers pull a Rowlet with Riolu not having it evolve into a Lucario

The whole point of riolu is that he will eventually evolve, why would they miss a chance to show one of the most iconic pokemon of all time especially when it will be the part of main cast for the first time. The question is how long Riolu will take to become Lucario.
