I think the reason that we are not as excited for normals is simply because they are SUPER easy to get, plus they do not change a morph. You breed a pastel with a lesser and you get a combination looking BP called a plesser. You breed a pastel with a normal and you get either normals or pastels, not a mixture. So techincally, the normal BP could NEVER be a morph on it's own. If we were to take the 4000+ combos out there, and say one of them were the "normal" wild type, I am pretty sure the excitement for that morph would be WAY less but such is not the case.
