>>54744876People hated and memed on it for being a 100% female Pokemon when people were expecting something else, and/or for it not being that Ballio thing.
People always loved the porn, it's a curvy mermaid with a big ass, a "humanoid" hairstyle, and a "low cut singer dress" design.
Damn thing was made for human men (no meme), but it pissed people off that we got yet another really heavily gendered Pokemon.
Meowscarada takes the cake on that one though, the damn thing looks like a quirky female sidekick to the protag in an anime, just green.
If Meowscarada had a real UwU face instead of the vvw mouth, that'd push it the rest of the way there.
