Before the Bond Phenomenon was even a thing, I think a few reasons why Greninja was so popular were becauseI'll never understand the pedestal Greninja gets put on for his relatively lacking battle record. He never carried a team like Charizard did vs Gary or Infernape did vs Paul, he never outright beat Diantha in their training match, his Ash Greninja form was an over glorified pseudo Mega Evolution. Yeah he beat Mega Abomosnow and Mega Sceptile... I'm positive Charizard and Infernape could do that too without Mega Evolution.
We haven't even talked about peak Pikachu either lol
- Most people already liked it either because of its design or its Protean ability in the games
- Froakie had a similar personality to Ash’s Treecko
- It broke the anime’s “curse” of Ash’s Water types never evolving besides Kingler
