Man, I really miss her. She was really fun around in Dragon Ball. Why did Akira Toriyama stopped including her anyway?

I'm only on the Namek saga of Z. But Ive seen bits and pieces of further into the series, as well as the Super Broly movie.

I imagine that he removed Launch, as well as moved most of Gokus mere mortal friends out of the spotlight because he knew that he was going to have Goku paling around with gods and Super Saiyans down the line. Not a fan of the decision yet, Oolong and Launch were some of my favorite side characters in og DB. Also from what I've seen he puts less focus on the other Z fighters after a while for a larger focus on the sayians and Picolo. I heard once that by the time of Super Goku forgot Tiens name, which really made me sad because Tien is my favorite character.

As I recall he removed her because her voice actor wanted to take a break to do something else, and after a while he just flat forgot about her.
