>>54452281>RedPopular in general, particularly with genwunners and autists
>EthanAlso popular in general, the ‘male protagonist is the more popular than their counterparts’ ends here though.
>BrendanNot hated but also not super beloved, people seem to like his shipbait with May well enough.
>LucasPretty openly disliked, even most shotacons don’t care about him and just remark that he looks gay/stupid
>Hilbert Probably most popular non gen 1 and 2 protagonist he’s popular with fujos, popular with mangafags, etc
People just generally like his design
>NateEven the Pokemon company fucking hates him, post BW2 trailer he basically gets jack shit and doesn’t even have a starter in masters
>CalemGets called a ‘French Hilbert’ a lot but seems well liked enough, he’s not a manlet which is nice.
>ElioI think the only people who care about him are people who hate yurifags so they post about him and Lillie getting the more romantic scene, no one cares otherwise.
>VictorSelf explanatory
>FlorianI actually feel like you could argue he’s on par with his female counterpart’s popularity because they look exactly the same. Florian just gets a lot of shotacons and /ss/fags into him while his female counterpart doesn’t even have that many lolicons into her compared to other female protagonists.
I feel like it’s kind of a tie between Nate, Elio and Victor honestly.
