>>57003767>>57003858I'm surprised for the Jynx thirst too desu. I'll be fair I've always had a thing for the big kissy lips in cartoons so I'm a bit biased. That said as I've gotten older I've started to like Jynx's design more. Something about its spaced out blank expression really speaks to me. You can never really tell what's going on in its head. It's like...ugly-cute or how the kids might say "Gap moe". Dressing her up in cute clothes and trendy hairstyles kinda exaggerates the effect.
I also wonder if part of what makes Rouge endearing is that in the canon of Ruka's story Jynx is considered a very unappealing pokemon, to which Ruka is seen as a weirdo for finding it so cute. Rouge herself is very self conscious about her appearance. Kinda gives her an underdog effect where people may be more inclined to root for her.
That said I'll try to avoid putting any real pokemon/human shipping in the story. Jynx kissing is like...a dog licking you. It's just their way of communicating. The original idea behind lovely kiss is that the opponent is so scared to be smooched by a Jynx that they lose consciousness, after all. I kinda assume canonically Rouge is unlucky at love (with pokemon), and Ruka has to cheer her up when she gets rejected. In a world where Jynx is seen as both unappealing and competitively unviable, Ruka is always a shining light to say "you can do it!"
