>>45205266>because the anime shilled Rowlet firstRowlet was ridiculously popular from day one, literally from the moment the starters were revealed Rowlet was the only thing people were talking about.

> Venusaur is shilled only in the manga, but Bulbasaur was shilled in the anime for several seasons and got 10x more merchs than VenusaurVenusaur is shilled in the games too. with LGPE making him Red’s canon starter. And both are shilled much more in their respective mediums than Snivy or Serperior, whom you conveniently couldn’t find a shilling example for.
> you gotta be a real delusional if you think pokemon fanbase isn't mostly coomers.Pokemon fanbase is mostly children you sick fuck.

> just look at how many twitter accounts who keep shipping characters and pokemon.And? People have been drawing furshit and shipping art of Charizard, Typhlosion, Eevees, Gardevoir, Milotic, etc. forever. One of the classing Japanese pokemon fan comics was Typhlosion x Gardevoir, but you’re probably too young to remember that. There’s always been an underbelly of that type of people, but they’re in literally everything and not the target demographic nor the primary sample size by a wide margin.
