>>49878943>>49889293Before PM started he was stated by his voice actor (I think it was him anyway) to be designed a bishounen on purpose. And the show very obviously fujobaits with him and Ash. That doesn't make the ship canon of course and no ship will ever be. But there's no denying they're deliberately pandering to fujos, more specifically those that are moms and watch the show with their kids anyway. Anipoke isn't even the first kodomo show to do that, though arguably the most successful. Ken Sugimori has it quite in him to appeal to all kinds of coomers with his designs.
In short, your fault for thinking there wouldn't be shipping in a thread for a character that was designed to get the shotacon fujos wet.
