*AGREEAGREEAGREEAGREEAGREE*I like Lucario very much. Not because he's popular, I could care less about that. It's because the design and abilities are so cool. The (generally annoying, to tell the truth) fanbase is just a side item.
Why do people prefer the non-popular ones...are you guys trying to...stand out?
Well yeah actually, it's because they think they're being unique, but so many people do it nowadays that they've made not liking popular things popular and in a weird way have defeated the purpose, it's real confusing.
