The top sellers were forced to draw shillmons while everyone else used a pokemon that had something in common with their protagonist. According to my ass the logic was:
>One Piece and Pikachu
Jump mascot + Pokemon mascot
>Blue Box and Totodile
Top seller + BLUE starter
>Kagurabachi and Tepig
Top seller + black/red starter
>Sakamoto Days and Chikorita
Top seller + the remaining starter
>Elusive Samurai and Eevee
Top seller + secondary Pokemon mascot. Also Matsui drew shota Tokiyuki to reference the Let's Go Eevee game.
>Ichi and Gallade
Gallade is a male warrior from a species that's commonly female (or at least feminine in appearance).
>Akane-Banashi and Wobbuffet
Wobbuffet is believed to be inspired by Hayashiya Sanpei I, a rakugo comedian.
>Witch Watch and Clefairy
Clefairy is pink, cute and associated with magic, like Nico.
>Roboco and Blaziken
THUNDER KNEES
>Kiyoshi and Gengar
Mega Gengar looks like the ghosts and demons from the manga, and according to this week's comments it's the author's favorite pokemon.
>Shinobi and Greninja
Yodaka is a ninja, while greninja is themed after ninjas.
>Hima-ten and Rotom
The joke is that Rotom is in its washing machine form but Himari is bad at cleaning.
>Nue's Exorcist and Absol
Absol resembles Nue.
>Kill Blue and Houndoom
Mega houndoom looks like the protagonist I guess.
>Otr and Charizard
Charizard is a fire dragon. Otr is themed after fire and old myths (like dragons).
>Nice Prison and Klefki
Klefki looks like the key rings prison guards have in cartoons.
>Harukaze Mound and Garchomp
I guess the author thought Garchomp would be a great pitcher in baseball.
>Kaedegami and Gyarados
Gyarados looks like the monsters of the manga, and even was drawn to resemble them.
>Ekiden Bros an Rapidash
Rapidash can run at 150mph, perfect for races.
>Ping Pong Peril and Meowth
The protagonist is desperate for money, and Meowth can produce coins with an attack.
