>>55067983Nemona's about the only girl with any sort of relevance or importance to go alongside (you) pandering, but she's the third brown rival in a row just with a pussy this time, people are tired of that archetype already, and yandere memes aside, which are just that, memes, is an overbearing autist + tomboy is not really what I would call "waifu material". Despite how loud tomboyfags are, they're a minority.
Well, I guess there's Penny in terms of relevance but I shouldn't need to explain why Penny was never gonna be a hit. And even putting her appearance or personality aside, there's next to no (you) appeal to her since 95% of her is muh team star.
Carmine's got some too but she's heavily overshadowed by Kieran. She was never gonna be a hit because of that. Maybe she'd have exploded if she'd been the one going ow the edge and becoming obsessive and possessive of you. You'd be able to actually feel the yandere rather than memes like Nemona. But she's not that.
Iono is popular but she's popular in a "general" way rather than waifu way.
You posted Perrin, and sure, she's cute and all, but she's relegated to a small DLC sidequest you've got to grind the dex to do. She's not easily accessible or available so that heavily reduces her chances.
Rika was made for girls to salivate over.
None of the girls in this game has a real hook in terms of waifu material.
Genderswap Arven or Kieran and you'd have the boys salivating over them. Because those two have actual stories, actual hooks to latch on, actual gap moe, actual relevance and screentime.
There's a reason why Marnie, despite being fucking irrelevant and having near zero screentime, caught fire. Because even if she didn't have those she had all the others going for her. And a one hit wonder scene.
And I shouldn't have to explain Lillie for that matter.
