>>46146408It's because the newer Pokegirls are designed in a way to have sex appeal. I mean ffs they don't look like 10 year old at all, they easily pass for 17 year olds as opposed to the older Pokegirls where they looked sorta like kids just hitting puberty. Even so, they were still quite lewdable.
Also only the Gen 1 and Gen 2 MC were actually good, (the Gen 3 MC became trash when it was revealed that his white hair was just a hat yes my childhood was ruined) the rest were simply bland and unmemorable compared to the respective girls also the Pokehirls got shilled a lot by the ashnime so people tend to be more interested in the girls by default since the male MC is regarded simply as a self insert for the player and not an actual separate character.
The girls on the other hand are perceived to have more actual personality and substance just based on design alone.
