Reminder that the series started going downhill when it tried to cater to everyone at onceListen to this shit and tell me this wasn't a franchise for the bros: https://youtu.be/jMq42GoCKVo?si=d7mFoAjfvZfHolfJ
>>59033488Pokemon had girly Pokemon since the beginning
You have the mindset of a child.
>>59033488Yet half of male players choose to play as a little girl
>>59033488If this franchise was catering to women why isn't there more homosexuals raping one another? women love that
>>59033488You should've posted Gen 1 art then if that's what you believe since you'll find people that claim it was Gen 2 that GF started trying to appeal to girls with the introduction of baby Pokemon and, with the release of Crystal and the option to pick a girl protagonist. Thing is though, Pokemon was always meant to appeal to both boys and girls. Going as far back as Japanese Red and Green promos, there are girls shown to be playing along with guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RelY6L4rH-g
Reminder that they were trying to appeal to girls since gen 1 and it's why clefairy(sugimori's attempt), and pikachu and the starters(gf asking Nishida to reverse engineer some first state evolutions) were all things in the first placeGen 2 just made it more corporate with commands by the suits, and also forced things to be more toyeticIt's ironic you post gen 2 art in fact. Gen 3 tried to apologize to fans by making more monstrous pokemon again and even that gen had stuff aimed at girls
>>59033488You mean during the middle of develoment of Gen 1, when they brought Atsuko Nishida on to make more cute and appealing designs instead of the weirdo monsters of early Gen 1 development? Probably true, look at some of the old spritework for Pokemon before that point and tell me something wasn't lost in the process.
>>59033875Nishida was already working with GF since Pulseman so she wasn't this new person they brought on to the team solely for that either
>>59033845>Thing is though, Pokemon was always meant to appeal to both boys and girls. Going as far back as Japanese Red and Green promos, there are girls shown to be playing along with guysThis. I don't know why a franchise being aimed at both girls and boys is hard for some people here to wrap their heads around. That's most franchises in fact.
