“Ceruledge was one of the reasons, the other two were Miraidon and Salamence,” another user stated.

Those wanting to play Scarlet spoke up too.

“Oddly Ceruledge sold me on Scarlet, I prefer the cannon man to humanoid Doublade,” TheCyclopsDude commented.

“Same, the idea of firing cannons from your hands is really cool to me and I like Armarouges design way more,” one trainer replied.

The community bonded over their decision-making, sharing their opinions regarding each individual version.
