>>58613460being hopeful here, it seems like tpc might have realized that women bring in big bucks when they get interested and are trying something out with his character. there was a famitsu promo that had a special plza illustration card in each copy and it's just this pic of corbeau lel. considering how female fans buy more merch and that's a large chunk of the cash pokemon rakes in, it stands to reason.
now if only other game companies would realize this. i'm in the joseimuke general over in /vmg/ and it's grim.
