>many Pokemon have horny fans over the years ala Gardevoir and Lucario as a base, which was HEAVILY leaned into since Gen 7 onwards
>character designs have always been well liked across the series/hot as fuck for multiple demographics, Female protagonists being in a tier of their own since Kris, arguably May from the former being so niche
>in the modern era, largely since the Switch games, there's barely anything going for them for many except the girls, Gen 8 especially being well liked for its girls (still scant compared to 7's monolith)
>human characters in general are so universally popular and thirsted over the one time TPC makes a gacha, it's for the fucking trainers, alternate outfits and everything
I'm pretty sure why, in spite of its massive front load of 20m in six weeks, S/V has had such little general staying power compared to even SwSh because of not only the game itself being controversial/shit, but because the 'hot' or even likeable characters are so scarce, not to mention different from before. The most I see is the bug lady thrown into the Wicke club, the nurse and fighting teacher having a few fans and Japan obsessing over the streamer. Also, the two leads were designed so fucking safe/flat that inflating one's breasts beyond normal has never been so prominent, especially when first revealed.
God bless the mother for spawning more 'naked apron' art; that's the good stuff right there.
