The Pokémon franchise tends to focus on its more popular monsters and advertise them more than others. Naturally, many Generation I Pokémon fit into this category, especially Charizard, Pikachu, Eevee, and Mewtwo; there will always be room on the stage for at least one of them. Generation IV also produced multiple lasting icons like Bidoof, Lucario, Rotom, and Arceus. Starter Pokémon and their evolutionary families also make many recurring appearances; the same goes for most Legendary and some Mythical Pokémon. Every once in a while, a relatively obscure Pokémon will be given more attention than expected.Oddish has recently been given the star treatment by the Pokémon franchise. This is one of the oldest Pokémon in the franchise, but the attention it’s received makes it seem like it’s always been one of the most popular and iconic. There are several videos and promotional events tying back to the Weed Pokémon. This is to say nothing of all the information being frontloaded like a Bulbapedia page. Ordinarily, the only time Pokémon like Oddish get promoted like this is if something important is going to happen to it, like receiving a new form. It’s nice to see such a dark horse among hundreds of Pokémon get this kind of love, but it would be good to understand why it’s receiving so much advertising out of the blue.The first signs that Oddish would be a big deal came from a recent web series about the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This series, titled Pokémon: Path to the Peak, follows the story of Ava as she develops a love for the cards and starts playing competitively. Her favorite card is an Oddish, which she envisions as her real-life partner Pokémon. A promotional Oddish card based on Ava’s is set to be released, though nobody knows when or how.RELATED: Pokémon: Ash vs Peak Brandon — Who Wins?
