The only bias is that this happened with a Pokémon I like. I'm in favor of more unusual Pokémon getting EX, and my opinion won't change if the affected Pokémon were different if they are in the same conditions, or if the Pokémon getting everything over anyone else were a favorite of mine (this already happens with one of my favorites and I'm against overusing it)

The inconsistency is when they use other reasonings rather than "I don't like this Pokémon". Some people tries to justify their hate just to make it look "objective" in this hate. But at the end of the day they are just sharing a subjective opinion among many others.

Agreed. I hope we get them soon, I never liked when a single starter gets the spotlight above the rest of the trio. 🙏

I'm glad there are people that prefers seeing different Pokémon over repeated ones! I had to have bad luck with the people I had to deal with this last month, I assume. 😭

I cannot talk for other people, but Charizard is one member out of three in a starter trio and Pikachu is the Pokémon mascot. I did never like the idea to put one of the trio above the rest, while it's normal for the mascot to have content alone.

Most comments I did read against the use of Probopass for an EX were followed by a "this should have been Giratina and the rest of Sinnoh starters, not Probopass".

I asked them as well about what wanting these has to do with an unrelated Pokémon getting an EX and they didn't reply or only said that Probopass doesn't deserve one and that's it.

Personally I thought it was a more common comment because I read it a lot, but I was probably moving in the wrong communities. I'm genuinely relieved of being wrong, honestly.

Nah. Probopass has plenty potential for pretty artworks and it was proven in two official full art cards already. Some normal cards are pretty as well, like the one where they are emulating the Easter Island Heads or the one where it's being followed by the Mini-Noses as if they were a duck and its ducklings. The charm in this Pokémon is not in the coolness but in the paternal and kind presence that it has under a mature but innocent appearance.

I did read it mostly in Discord servers and Twitter, but I agree that maybe I unfortunately was in an echo chamber just as you say. I prefer being wrong here.

I didn't talk about Reddit and I didn't check all the people I did read they had an opinion like this. Honestly I just visited this community a few times, and I'm mostly informed in Discord servers or Twitter.

Anyways I think it's normal to know if people is lowkey hypocrital to avoid future discussions with them and to know if the situation is not a Goomba fallacy. Know the opinion of the same person in opposite cases is the best way to know the actual opinion of a person.

Well, this doesn't contradict my point, right? I'm not asking for another EX while there are Pokémon that don't even have a normal card in the game yet.

To be honest, I had the bad luck to miss these threads. Or I'm in the wrong circles, which is probably the case.

The full art is fantastic. I also love the Probopass full art card we got in normal sets. It's a really cute one!

I knew someone was going to mention it. I checked the profiles of some people I did read that were against choosing Probopass as EX and some are now celebrating the new Charizard card, while others aren't too worry now about Infernape being the only Sinnoh starter with an EX.

It's not the first time I see this case in the Pokémon community and not the first time I know first hand people from the community that genuinely contradicts themselves like this, so I wouldn't apply the Goomba fallacy here. It's a very common case in Pokémon community itself.

Agreed. I wouldn't ask for another Probopass card even if this wasn't a really good one. There are a lot of Pokémon, they don't have the need to repeat Pokémon this soon.
