Hatterene is more recent and it doesn't have the popularity of an Eeveelution.
And with all the Pokefuckers in the fandom, you might've just answered your own question.

Y is just “Charizard but more,” X is what really looks like a Mega Evolution. It should have had Y’s typing though.

Being Charizard but more is what makes Y better. X's design comes across as too tryhard.

ETA: I'd even say that the only reason X is a fan favorite is because it's black and blue and a Dragon type. If you look past the different colors, Y has a more distinct design, it's sleeker than regular Charizard and has proportions more in line with a modern western dragon, meanwhile X is just Charizard but spikier and with fire coming out of its mouth.

Have you guys ever checked out any of the scryfall clones for Pokemon cards? Pkmncards is always hilarious because it has a comments section for cards and there’s always a bunch of spergy troons.

Looking at bulbapedia, the color scheme is there, but the line is 100% female yet doesn't look like coomer bait.

Hatterene has that humanoid figure which would fit more 'mainstream' tastes.

Either way, the line fits troons in an unintended way: Hattrem and Hatterene tend to be very violent, Hattrem wi those who have high emotions (positive or negative, no matter how close you are to Hattrem) and Hatterene with anyone who is too loud and even anyone ven remotely hostile. They claim a territory that only they can enter and lash out at anyone who 'intrudes'. This matches how troons make 'tran-safe spaces' then kick out anyone, even their own family or other troons, who does not catch up to their constantly-increasing standards, insis that disagreement, 'misgendering', or 'deadnaming' is 'literal genocide', claim that certain characters are 'canonically queer' then get violent against anyone who claims otherwise, have violence be their go-to answer towards any form of disagreement, and simply cannot stand hearing or considering the feelings of anyone other than themselves. Even the line always constantly being sensitive towards other emotions to the point of exhaustion or backlash could tie with troons being extremely sensitive to even the slightest hint of 'TERFdom', speaking massively about 'empathy', and always ceing oline, baragging them wi the tragedies of the world and constant 'calls to action'. If you are not angry, then you are a 'bootlicker', the woke say.

If I we really stretching things, Hatenna could fit a victim of grooming: peaceful isolation in response to constantly being subjected to emotions to the point of exhaustion. This could fit how troons targets people who isolate themselves after struggling through puberty, being real, no-slur autistic, or have a traumatic past and present. Then thes 'eggs' get lovebombed to the point of dependency on troons. Ironically, evolving through tranny ranks would make them even more hostile.

To get people that don’t play the game to keep spending and gambling. They started printing variants as a sort of lottery kind of like how magic did with some sets.

TPCI benefits from this in the short term because people with FOMO lack the self control to hold off and will buy booster boxes of new releases for 280. When they finally took control from Nintendo, there was a huge push to try to simplify the game to where newer players weren’t forced to look for older cards from older sets to have parity. This disincentivized a lot of Japanese players, so they decided to turn to the people who chase cards.
They know what they’re doing, but they’re just going to keep letting it escalate until inevitably big box stores decide to stop carrying products because of the risks associated with collectorfags. You won’t see anyone who actually plays outside of GameStop waiting for an SPC.

Something that makes me happy - today I was setting up a 'New' 3DS XL with all my usual homebrew and applications before packing up my previous one for sale after not using it for awhile, and I can confirm the Pokemon Bank service, along with the Transporter, still work normally to this day. Even if you have never used it before, never had a Nintendo ID before the eShop closure, you can still create a new Nintendo ID on the 3DS to this very day, and while you will need to pirate the Pokemon Bank application from something like the 3hs hShop, it will accept the newly created ID, and work just like normal, as the service was made free after the cutoff.

I realize the clock is ticking for the Bank service to be taken down, but the fact that it still works this far out after the closure, and you can still get into it even if you never accessed it before, that's great. I hope it doesn't cost them too much to keep it running.

I managed to score two Prismatic Evolutions booster bundles from yesterday’s surprise Pokémon Center restock, I’m happy that TPCi is actually doing something to combat buy bots but now I’m worried about the rise in thefts from FedEx workers (who I assume are mostly drivers).

In somewhat related news, Costco's just listed a TCG SKU that contains 2 Prismatic Evolutions ETBs and 2 Booster Bundles for $120. Unlike past PRE product drops this one won't get botted to hell and back thanks in part to Costco business model AND them actually putting a serious limit on TCG products (their online store has a limit of 1 product per regular account per week and restocks are a bit more common than on Target's and Walmart's websites).

I’ve been catching up with all of these videos coming out from people camping out in front of stores overnight to scalp purchase cards, especially the prismatic evolutions SPC at gameslop. The crashing out has made me realize something: all of these people who crowd restocks and camp out and give into FOMO all seem to be low IQ spergs. You camp out for another product of a set you know has dogshit pulls?

If it makes you feel any better GameStop is now enforcing a company-wide policy limiting the amount of Pokémon TCG products a person can buy to 1 unit per sku each. It still doesn’t do much to combat scalper groups cleaning out stores and some stores receiving small amounts of product in stores though.

You want to get into a fight over this shit set?

Unfortunately this isn’t the first time fights have broken out for trading cards, I actually posted an article a few years ago where one of these fights broke out and victim pulled a gun out on his attackers. After that happened big box stores like Target pulled their TCG products from store shelves and only sold them online (which is something that Walmart is doing for its trading card section in general).

The retarded collectorfags have motivated me to call it quits trying to buy anything else, especially with destined rivals and soon BB/WF being as heavily bought out as they are and people clearing out stores as well as breaking street dates

If you’re talking about the English releases of BB/WF being leaked people on Reddit actually located the store that did it (it was apparently a shop in Staten Island and I wouldn’t be surprised if said packs were stolen from Millennium Print Group’s facilities in NC) and they’re encouraging people report said shop to TPCi for holding stolen product.
