>>51353009Because I find it interesting. Pokémon is the most sexualized franchise as far as I can tell. MLP had a big boom during the early 2010s but it gradually disappeared. Meanwhile Pokémon has been consistently strong in that front. It seems that in the last decade there was an explosion of Pokémon sexualiztion. Back in 2013 Lucario was only at 2.4k post now the character is over 18k. The Pokémon make up a big part of those numbers, according to
rule34.xxx the Pokémon species tag sits at around 165k with a lot of untagged pictures so the number is potentially bigger.
Paheal has a popularity tab for tags but it seems frozen at a specific time that I do not know. However you can tell how much growth the pokemon tag has expiriences since that time, a 70k growth compared to MLP 10kish.
