Gardevoir is a gateway waifu of the worst kind. It's a bad pokemon, a clusterfuck of pokedex entries and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in virgin pandering and BEAUTY. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the pokemon itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The black hole entries all trying their hardest to sound cool, the helmet, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole companionship aspect and everything about Gardevoir fuels their escapist fantasies, while the noble background, emphasis on protecting, and overall preachiness of the pokemon make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Gardevoir is basically THE pokemon to attract the most hated fanbase known to /vp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this pokemon and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Gardevoir threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here. That being said, Gallade is really great, but Bunnies and Phoxes are easier to get into.
