Pain and struggle

Cute, sexy, cool. These are the three pillars of memorable appeal.
Any character design you truly like is at least one of these. Any you've forgotten probably weren't any. Truly popular ones are multiple, Gardevoir for one.
Everything you can think up as a metric is probably a part of these three. Design complexity is an aspect of coolness. Accessories or expressiveness a part of cuteness.

>>724837486
Is Gardevoir cute, sexy, or cool?

>>724837556

>>724837556
Yes.

He's "cute," approximately.

because he doesn't look cool, he's certainly not cute, and i definitely don't want to fuck him

Nigger that's an official release from TPC. Gardevoir being a cute girl is canon

It takes a lot of research and development to make a VERY appealing design, shit's got to be:
-Easy to draw and have an appealing color palette
-Have a distinct appealing silhouette you can recognize anywhere, even at its most plagiarizing knockoff level
-Be featured in a genuine and sincerely positive way across different media and not just vidya only
-Be persistent and everlasting that 20 years later, shit's still as nice today as it was back then.
-Be part of a millenial's childhood coz god damn if the power of the individual perma-autistic and extremely determined and dedicated artist isn't strong enough sometimes (Example, there was a single fucking artist that, for a VERY LONG TIME, was the only guy drawing Seiken Densetsu 3 fanart before the Trials of Mana remake came out)

Gardevoir more or less clears all of these boxes and more, i think PMD Rescue Team is 100% the reason Gardevoir stuck on people's minds given her story arc in that game.

That's a panda

>>724840101
Cool, I'm afraid.
Most of what makes Regigigas cool is narrative, though. The design itself is just a golem, which has a small amount of inherent coolness, but what Regigigas has is being the answer to the coolest shit in gen 3.

If this has been one anon posting her lately, well or more than one too, based, she looks really cute I'm always happy to see her. I'm happy when mawileposters post her too.

Why is everyone wigging out that they changed her retarded front face into something that looks better? GF needs shit like this, its the model neglect that led to Jynx gaining dress tentacles.

why are her split penises so high up

>>724847262
Imagine if you came on it and then she came super hard

>>724853426
they didn't even change the face, they just drew it on model compared to the ashnime that always drew it weird

>>724852221
The current aggregate canon is that Pokemon give live birth and construct eggs after the fact as portable nests. So, yes.
HOWEVER. The more interesting and still on-model option.
She's a psychic amorph with the ability to copy whatever she looks at / feels with Trace / Synchronize.
Null exposed crotch, but the moment you get her in the mood (potentially by intentionally thinking lewd thoughts at her like pic related) she adapts and forms one.

>>724853503
it's called clitoris

In short: a character must be INSTANTLY recognizable from nothing but their silhouette by even more casual observers (so not just autistic superfans), and not just a silhouette by itself but mushed together with those of others.

This is also the real much more subconscious reason we hate the "desexualization" of characters. It has nothing to do with sex, but exaggerated proportions like pear shapes, or a dorito torso in men, etc. helps making the silhouette more distinctive. If everyone has the same stick figure shape, everyone will be unrecognizable blobs and utterly unappealing in return. And that's also why TF2 characters remaining appealing, even with them not being sexualized at all simply because their outlines are distinctive.

>>724860961
She's so cute.

>>724852152
You better savor it, this will be the closest thing we will get to a canon human x pokemon romance in a LONG time.

>>724863072
Wouldn't it be wild if they started leaning more and more on that angle?

>>724863174
I feel at some point, just in case because of the "hurr durr they are animals" morons, they will first need a story where they establish "some Pokemon are literally just people".

>>724863309
Weren't there ever any anime episodes where pokemon had their own town?

>>724864334
I need to ask, since I only ever seen stuff from this one company being shilled.
Are there no other companies making pokemon sex dolls, statues, whatever?

>>724863309
They often times tow the line, but I don't think they'll ever portray Pokémons alongside humans as anything but glorified pets. That's kind of the foundational to the brand image no?
The most we'll get are implications, mythological parallels like the yuki onna story and lore snippets most people wouldn't read like pic related.
So basically where we are at right now.

>>724864334

>>724863309
>some
That's the operative word here though. Acting like, say, Lillipup is anywhere close to the same level of sapience as Gardevoir is a little ridiculous. The fact of the matter is that maybe 5% of all Pokemon are close enough to humans to justify a relationship, which is far far less than the unironic animal fuckers would like to admit.

>>724863309
I mean, isn't Meowth from the anime literally that? He can speak, is intelligent... he's literally human for everything but his actual body.

No idea. I just shill that one because I know that anons bought and received it.

>>724841629
>PMD Rescue Team is 100% the reason Gardevoir stuck on people's minds
yeah.. and not the art. seeing her model in gale of darkness made my eyes pop from my skull

>>724865086
Lilipup is the equivalent of a small child. Stoutland most like has near human intelligence.

>>724864334
>two nipples

>>724841920
extremely off topic but, why are womens nipples so sensitive? im ticklish sure, it makes me laugh but it just makes them horny and it bothers me

>>724869119
Right?

>>724869119
Agreed.
The more people point that out, the more likely they'll fix that.
Either no nipples or rows of nipples.

>>724870656
we need to crossbreed with gardevoir harder to get results like these

>>724869445
Women have developed nipples so they're more sensitive. Ours are vestigial.

>>724869445
estrogen

>>724869445
>>724872386
>vestigial
lol
lmao
supressed is the correct word. keep fondling them and that ticklish sensasion will quickly cause it to grow (a little, because testosterone still inhibits tit growth).
as for hornyness. any sensitive secondary part of the body can make someone horny with enough effort, it isn't restricted to tits.
see: feetfags, pitfags, earfags, mouthfags, assfags, the elusive collarbone pigmy
for the record women also like men nipples. less sensitive means that you can pinch them harder. meanwhile you shouldn't do a nipple twister on a woman.

t. I have powerful gynos that most women and gay men would covet

>>724835957 (OP)
Excessive exposure to that design

God I want to dynamax glaceon and have her sit on me with her fat fucking rear end whilst she rubs in circle motions against my body whilst she loudly moans.
FUCK, I NEED GIANT POKEMON, I NEED THEM TO DO THINGS TO ME

>>724852152
Why is the ancillary western market making a mountain of a molehill once again?Just because it's better than the mollified lowbrow 4kids era isn't any reason to cry. These people should elevate their tastes.

Having a psychic wife/gf would be very exhausting i feel.
You'd get like no privacy. Even worse if she had a yandere/controlfreak side.

>>724876489
You would die

>>724876431
she's even got no pawpads like a bunny

>>724874174
not every nerd is your failed gay generation, zoomie. there are fat fuck gen x nerds and big tit gen y nerds around.
and gen a wojak addicts.

>>724854161
>Drew it on model
Don't kid yourself, if GF kept concept art that pointed out important design elements that weren't often portrayed in most still sprites you wouldn't have retarded shit like the Jinx tentacles or the Poli-lines uncertain mouth placement.

The only time I'm certain they've done this for any mon was Burmy's nude form.

>>724876873
fun fact: arctic foxes also look like they have no pawpads
they DO have them it's just that they are covered in fur cuz it's cold out there

>>724876845
if we're going by pokemon physics and I were a person in said world, I would be fine-ish.
but yes you are correct about me dying but what a way to go from a giant glaceon with a buttocks a size too large getting off to her size and simulating herself in the most degenerate fashion possible.

>>724876839
gardevoir can read and manipulate emotions with her psychic powers as well. you should be more worried about implanted memories and feeling and questioning if you even have free will if you have a gardevoir wife.
