I'm pretty sure it's furry hypnotism.
A lot of people, when pressed, would adamantly refuse to even humor the thought of getting lewd over a pokemon.
How about there just being one next to cute girls though?
You can say "I'm not looking at the pokemon, I'm focusing on the girl" all you want, but the brain doesn't work that way.
You are observing these pokemon, in a semi-lewd or outright lewd context, and possibly even fapping under these circumstances.
It's slowly eroding your vehement resistance to sexualizing the pokemon, because you are becoming aroused while looking at them, and associating them with something arousing.
