Gardevoir was first introduced as a Pokémon included in the November 21, 2002 Japanese releases “ポケットモンスタールビー・サファイア” (Poketto Monsutā Rubī & Safaia). There, Gardevoir was known as サーナイト (Sirnight). The English versions of the games, Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, were released in the United States on March 17, 2003.
The exact meaning and etymology of the name Gardevoir isn’t confirmed, but popular site Bulbapedia speculates that it may be a portmanteau of garder (French for “to guard”) and devoir (French for “duty”). Or, alternatively, it may be a portmanteau of garder (French for to keep) and voir (French for to see).
Gardevoir, because of its feminine, humanoid form, quickly became a popular character online. This is especially true for sites with a large male population, such as Reddit and 4chan, where Gardevoir can still be seen today in artwork.
When it was introduced, Gardevoir became an object of attraction for many. While pictures have been a popular medium of expressing this, there are also written works that feature the character. In fact, by 2017, the search query Gardevoir returned over 100 stories on fanfiction.net. Over 50% of them are rated M for Mature. Another 30% were rated T for Teen. A good portion of these can be assumed to be sexual in nature.
On Reddit, 4chan, Tumblr, and other sites, there’s a ton of sexually explicit content related to Gardevoir. In fact, there’s so much demand for mature artwork of this character, that a subreddit, /r/NSFW_Gardevoir, was created. As one Reddit user notes, Gardevoir is the “Jessica Rabbit” of the Pokémon fandom, as it’s often sexualized because of its feminine characteristics.
