And finally, its name ends with "a" and its feminine-looking so it ends up being way more acceptable to sexualize it. TPCi and Game Freak looked at their history with these kind of mons, inarvertedly at first, then looked at their track record and reverse engineered it.
The result is the apex of all furbait shillmon. A mix of everything they learned across generations from the successes and shortcomings of mons like Blaziken, Lopunny, Lucario, Braixen, Primarina, Salazzle, Zeraora etc.
It's quite literally their first true industry "plant", pun not intended. And it's a roaring success. It rose to the far top of the furry sites tags and pixiv. We're talking Lopunny and Gardevoir levels of "normie-core" acceptable sexualization and poképhilia. Porns and memes indeed.
