>>52350060>I would argue against this. For one the ralts line is strongly tied to the furry identity of PokémonNo, it isnt, Ralts -> Kirlia -> Gardevoir - whole line of design have NOTHING in common with typical furry stereotype. And speaking of PMD:
> thanks to PMDPMD actually humanizes Gardevoir even further, literally portraying her as guardian angel.
> By contrast most of the ones you mention are on the lower end,Precisely my point. Now ask yourself -why are they lower end? What MADE them lower end? Gardevoir, Gothielle, Machamp, Tsareena, etc - they all were created equal, but ended up in different spots.
> and in the case of Hatterene there is a severe lack of sexualizitionAgain, see above - you are missing most important part, confusing reason and consequences. Ask yourself WHY she lacks that. There is a REASON Gardevoir has most content and appeal.
> I would argue that Machamp, Gothielle are too goofy[...]..which is one of the reasons when it comes to choose an appealing Pokemon. This is how you evaluate "god" design. People evaluate these 2, they evaluate Gardevoir and they pick the latter, based on multiple reasons that came into evaluation.
> I would instead say that what makes Gardevoir special is that it was a popular humanoid design along with Blaziken and Lucario,The problem is that she is NOTHING alike like Blaziken or Lucarion. The latter two would be categorized as furry by any newcomer (by that I mean person with no prior furry bg and just venturing into pokemon lewd world).
Ultimately, what I was trying to say, Gardevoir is a safe bet because she "is not a [obvious] furry" and a safe bet with human-like shape. But unlike with Charizard, who won similar entry-level-pick place with generic design, she won it because of her design is better than anything else not just for a starter pick, but also for more elaborate pick, once newbie gains more experience in the field of sexualized pokemon.
