>>52920697To be fair Western cultural influence is becoming increasingly evident in Japanese content. Not just Pokémon.
That said, the narrative that there aren't cute or hot girls in SV is bullshit. Dendra, Miriam, Raifort, Mela, Eri, Tulip, Nemona are kino in their own different ways. Fuck even the Pokémon Center nurse is gorgeous. And then you have girls like Rika, Iono, Kate and the Dragon Tamer NPCs who aren't really my taste but still have an appeal and a fanbase.
The lack of skirts in Paldea is very likely not on >muh trannies nor >muh decadence of Western Civilization, but on the combination of camera angles and Japan's retarded censorship entities. Smash already suffered for this, Sakurai talked about the topic. Thing is GameFreak solved it the laziest way, as they always do, and decided to get rid of skirts as a result.
