Guilty pleasure pokemon?
That would have been Gallade.
At first he was 'merely' a top favourite pokemon of mine, but soon enough it became a guilty pleasure after following observations and related assumptions have been made:
>ever since a bunch of fags greeted his arrival with "OH FINALLY A REPLACEMENT FOR TRAPDEVOIR!" chants, a good part of Gallade-related indifference from the fans of original Ralts line has transformed into hate and contempt.
>whenever /vp/ has a thread to decide what the worst designed pokemon are, Gallade is almost invariably posted and elaborated on.
>it is not uncommon for some who like this pokemon to claim that his design is completely ruined by a single component.
>most of those decent poke artists who are not bound to a single pokemon avoid making even the smallest sketch of him. God-tier [both taste and art-wise] artists who draw their fave [or otherwise those interesting and well-designed] pokemon from time to time have NEVER drawn Gallade. Purplekecleon is an exception, yet he did wrote somewhere that he considers Gallade to be a pitifully mediocre pokemon in general.
