Mimikyu wanted to be as popular as Pikachu and it failed
It’s now MORE popular than Pikachu

Greninja winning Pokémon of the Year doesn’t surprise me at all! There’s a reason I made it a popular show in the Lil Char universe for the kids to geek over. Kids LOVE Greninja.
And yes, I’ll be showcasing an ‘episode’ of the show soon ;) pic.twitter.com/dS86xrtCfB
