Headcanon: every unused/beta pokemon is like a cryptid in the pokemon world.
They’re different from legendary pokemon in that there’s no mythology behind them, just unconfirmed sightings and vague descriptions, and most of the pokemon professors don’t believe in them.
Tracer is Winston’s endearing sister and Widowmaker’s annoying sister
Roadhog is Junkrat’s dad
Lúcio is D.Va’s prom date of sorts
Phara is Mercy’s wife
Genji is Mercy’s fetish project science project
Hanzo is Genji’s alleged brother but that’s up for debate
Did I leave anything out?
ONE MORE THING: D.Va loves to hang around her grandpa Reinhardt because he’s a millenial and tells her about vintage shitposting. Zenyatta joins them too but doesn’t understand the intrincate meme ironies, he just legitimately enjoys them without cynism.
