>You sleepy? Going to bed now?>No...I want to enjoy new year's...with Carmine...
>Yumejoshi 2024 rankingshttps://note.com/_ui12/n/ncf500ef9e3b2?sub_rt=share_bRika won again lol. Also Carmine suddenly joined the list this year as well.
>>4353625I wonder if Rika was kind of a watershed moment cause I'm seeing more and more female characters higher and higher every year. Previous years you maybe had a few popular female characters in the bottom half by sheer weight of how popular their series was like the horse girls or Makima Chainsaw Man but shit fucking Marisa made it to 22.Also damn I can't believe Sugimoto dropped all the way to 97.
>>4353625What's the gender ratio of the results?
>>4353767I counted six female characters.
>>4354088If only there were some kind of snake themed pokemon
>>4354090I couldn't care less about the actual pokemons, I only care about the girls.
>>4354088Got any more, Anon?
>>4354090They're regional variants of Ekans and Serperior, they'll appear in Gen X (source: my aunt works at Nintendo).
>>4354090Have Liko and Dot on the back of a big snake: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/125806939Roy is there too so I can't post it directly but it's a nice piece.
>>4354088ummmmm are those snakes female?
>>4354101They're wool.
>>4354117Was the wool sourced from female Mareep?
>>4354091>least secondary pokemon yuri fan
>>4354194That ship has sailed long ago. By the current generation it's super obvious that GameFreak puts more effort into designing the human characters than pokemon.
>>4354229>so determined to spam images in every thread in the catalog he doesn't even care that he's posting het or futa as long as he can get every thread closer to limit
>>4351710かわいいね
>>4354091What about pokemon who are girls?
>>4354724kinkymation not drawing hetshit with creepy faces? crazy
Aoi/Carmine or Aoi/Nemona?
>>4356333Yes.
>>4356333>Japanese MC name/English NPC namePretend I posted Kieran's Joker smile face.
>>4356343Take it easy pal just scroll through all the nice Chiri/Geeta pics
I like that because Metroid doesn't have many sapient characters of note it's created this scenario where people make art of Samus having relationships with what are functionally parasitic clones of herself.
>>4356343Remember when it took forever for Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates to come out in English and so you had that weird ass period where people would still refer to characters by translations of their Japanese names vs their official localized names either by reflex or out of spite?God the idea of Japanese games not having simultaneous international releases feels so quaint nowadays.And I'm old enough to remember that agonizing year between Japan's Pokemon Gold/Silver launch and the US release.
That or Nicole from Halo
>>4356361I'm European. Pokémon Red and Blue launched here a month before Gold and Silver did in Japan.
>>4356343MC name doesn't matter
>>4356486what the fuck is wrong with her
>>4356499Horny
>>4356499She's in love.
>>4356358>>4356362Samus belongs to other solitary videogame FeMCs, like Lara or Shanoa.
>>4356503Eh twenty bucks season 2 of the Netflix show has Lara either going lesbians with Sam like Square-Enix was so desperate to stop back when they owned the franchise, or lesbians with her semi-stepsister.Five bucks on the Amazon show going gay cause you might as well play all the odds.
>>4356735Classic Lara =/= Modern Lara
>>4356735>another Tomb Raider stories about daddy issues
>>4356777Sounds perfect for Samus when you consider Other M and Dread.

>>4353309Anyone else remembers when this artist made a whole manga of Smash yuri, what happened to it?
>>4357650think of how much yuri is never scanned
>>4357655Exactly, need someone to scan this badly if I weren't so broke
>>4357650Eh I tuned out and unsubbed when I realized I was paying this dude because I liked his Splatoon yuri but all he made was weird furry shit or generic het garbage with some futa sprinkled here or there. Damn that was a waste of whatever the fuck 500 yen a month in USD was back then. Same with Chorimokki just making potboiler shit het art after decent yuri output.I don't care about artists going to some flavor of the month gacha garbage or disposable seasonal anime if they're still drawing yuri but doing that shit is just an affront to good taste.
>>4357895Weak
>>4357895I assume probably about 5 dollars. I remember when I went to Japan it was close to a 1 to 1 in yen vs cent where you could just go 950 yen, here's a 10. It was closer to like 95 yen or something per dollar but close enough. Now it's 63 cents to 100 yen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl3Ln_xD3Vg
>>4357895I can see the disappointment, the shit I'm checking from them now is just bizarre but Ermame seems to have done that for ages. I just don't see much newer works that really capture my niche the way his previous Splatoon and Pokémon yuri did
>>4357650Guess that's what I'm craving to find this in full lmfao, are there any good scan threads or methods of pirating?
>>4357930Like I said, this was years ago like when he was still cranking out Splatoon and Pokemon yuri on a somewhat regular basis so it still seemed harmless to throw a couple bucks that way just to nudge yuri production along.I think I dipped out right at the tail end of their too-late-to-the-party FE Fates obsession, like well after 3H came out and anybody making Fates stuff was notable. In retrospect it felt more like an aftershock of him being obsessed with Corrin from Smash. I don't like litmus tests or gatekeeping but I'm also wary of any yuri adjacent to waifufaggotry.

I'm shocked that no one brought up the new female characters that appeared in the Xenoblade X trailers.
>>4358909I'm sure Neilnail will get some yuri art with Celica but it would help if we saw what the pilot of the Hraesvelg looked like under the helmet.>yfw it's Edelgard

I don't understand subRika
>>4359066Because she's just a subordinate who said she has to be Geeta's womanservant 24/7, and is scared of the punishments her boss can give her as well. She also can't keep her cool when Geeta's around, gets flustered easily and can get very loud as a result as shown in the DLC. Standard sub behavior. Rika can keep her cool a lot better when her boss isn't around, like when she thanked Tulip for complimenting her looks, but said that she's already taken by Geeta.
>>4359066It's like yaoi but not
>>4359066Geeta is the toppest of tops.
>>4359104toppest of the tops don't use Gogoat in their champion team
>>4359162Wait until it gets a mega in Legends ZA and becomes GoGOAT.
>Liko lost against Grusha and Rika but defeated GeetaSasuga worst champion.
>>4358909Because my wife was already in base X
>>4359162I legitimately couldn't care less if her team was just a level 1 ratatta, I got bored of these games after the 4th consecutive generation of me steamrolling everything by just training the water starter (not counting hm slaves). These games are made for literal babies to be able to beat, the bottom of the barrel of the entire rpg genre with not a single good thing about them other than some cute girls here and there. Digimon should have won, it always had the better anime and the better games.
>>4359162Geeta really suffers from just being kind of the warmup to make sure you're properly leveled to take on Nemona as the final boss proper. She's basically like Gen 1/2 Lance before you fight Blue and/or Red. So ostensibly she's "Top Champion" but she isn't really geared up to be a threat the same way someone like Cynthia was.Then again nothing will be as embarrassing as how desperately the series wanted us to take Leon seriously, complete with fluff pieces pitting him against Cynthia and Red in other media.
>>4357244So fucking hot!

>>4354905It's even more crazy since she has admitted to not liking drawing lesbian sex.
Rosalina's Lesbian Space Brothel was leaked for the Switch 2 launch
>>4361597Who goes there? Her friends she's already fucking?
>>4361637That's up to you, it's a sim/management game
I just want them to hurry up and either announce the fucking FE4 remake if it actually exists, just so we can get past it, so we can get the obligatory Warioware and maybe see if Paper Mario has a real future or it's back to the Sticker mines, just so we can finally get a new FE worth caring about that also has yuri options.Pokemon probably gonna be a no-show until 2026 or even 2027 unless they've got a really aggressive schedule in mind, they're always a year or two late and always releasing last gen stuff when Nintendo's got a new platform out, e.g. GBA games when the DS was out, DS games when the 3DS was out, etc.EPD 5 just wrapped up Splatoon 3's support cycle so it's Animal Crossing next in the pipeline, presumably going to be the second of the big four in the Switch 2 library after Mario and his big 40th anniversary bonanza with Kart, platformer, etc.
>>4361676Pokémon has Legends ZA this year. Gen 10 will definitely be in 2026 for the 30th anniversary.
>>4361676I really wish they dropped out of the console race already and went the road of Sega, wouldn't have their games stuck with graphics from 2 gens ago with subpar framerates to boot and dogshit controllers.
>>4361689Go back to >>>/v/
>>4361678You're right but Pokemon's always felt like it's been on a weird schedule lately>Legends>ILCA on legacy remake duty presumably>actual Gen 10 games>whatever garbage Project Bloom is that will take manpower and resources away from Pokemon because Game FreakPokemon BDSP, Legends Arceus and Scarlet Violet all came out within one year of each other. Really testing the idea of market saturation there.
>>4361750>>4361750To be fair, BDSP was outsourced. Which is why BDSP is a near carbon copy of the originals, even down to having the same bugs and glitches
>>4361750The situation at the tail end of gen 8 into 9 was ridiculous, but I don't think it will be the same here. BDSP was most likely outsourced and rushed just to have a safe option on shelves once Game Freak decided to make an original game based on (pre-)Sinnoh as opposed to straight remakes, and it released at the very start of the year so they were able to announce gen 9 after it on Pokémon Day and release it by the end of said year. This time Pokémon Day 2025 is about to come up with PLZA not having a release date nor even actual footage. Even if it ends up being a cross-gen title available at launch of the Switch 2 in May or whatever, there's not enough time to announce and release gen 10 by the end of the year. There's no need either, they can just wait for the anniversary. Maybe it will be early 2026 instead of late, but that's it. Also the anime feels like it's about halfway through so that would track.
>>4361689>I really wish they dropped out of the console race already and went the road of SegaNintendo is the only one still in the console race, everyone else lost. Even Sony surrendered.
>>4361697>>4361789Ignore him, he does this every time Nintendo has any big announcement/presentation
>>4361775Everything is a crossgen title, it's backwards compatible.
>>4362290Cross-gen as in having a dedicated Switch 2 version/improvements when playing on Switch 2 like a lot of PS4/PS5 titles. God knows Game Freak needs it.
>>4362293I'd rather it just be a Switch 2 game in general. Being designed for both systems in mind just means that as a whole it's going to be made with the weaker one in mind. Plus we really don't need another situation where there's 0 reason to upgrade for 5 years because everythings on both like with XBox and Playstation
>>4362294Nintendo clearly moved their main development teams over to Switch 2 a while ago, you could already tell from their lineup in 2024. There are stragglers like Metroid Prime 4 and Game Freak always being late to upgrade, but just like the new Mario Kart is going to be exclusive, so will no doubt be the new 3D Mario, Kirby, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem...
>>4362424
>>4362425
>>4362293Since the Switch's main patent is focused around automatic graphics settings being changed depending on whether the device is connected to something or not, a lot of recent games like the Paper Mario TTYD remake have as-of-yet-unused futureproof settings discovered by datamining like 4K output, different shaders, etc.Now will Pokemon have it? A third of Game Freak's problems is them thinking they're better than being the fucking Pokemon factory and wasting time on stupid bullshit like they're some bespoke auteur studio. A third is just having to keep pace with the Pokemon Company's merchandise rollout schedule. The plushies must flow.But the biggest problem is just that the Pokemon ownership deal means despite Nintendo being the publisher they can't really make that much of a push on them the same way Nintendo can go on hiring sprees for their own development teams, whether EPD, or external first party like Monolith or NLG, or third party partners, like how Intelligent Systems was recently advertising openings. Monolith has more employees than GameFreak and it shows despite working on exponentially more games in their role as a support studio on top of making Xenoblade.
>>4362293>>4362294>>4362304GameFreak didn't believe in the Switch before it launched. Hopefully they've wised up
Now with Kamiya out of his company and the Switch 2 coming out, it's the perfect opportunity for Platinum to fix the shitshow Bayo 3 was with a new game that treats the events of it as a nightmare Cereza had after eating spoiled lollipops and has her waking up next to a naked Jeanne followed by a God of War type sex QTE
>>4362703>she doesn't knowNee-san... there's nobody left at Platinum.
>>4362700I believe that was more due to them wanting to remain on a true handheld, not the hybrid that Switch is. Probably because people would expect console quality stuff of them
>>4362703Would be nice but honestly I'm over it.>development so fucked because they bizarrely tried to make an open world game at one point, Nintendo producers had to get them to do a Bioshock Infinite/Cyberpunk and just tape whatever was actually playable together into a game and write around it>weakest of the series gameplay-wise, vacillating between trying to do constant setpiece gimmicks like Bayo 1 or the more constant combat focus of Bayo 2 and struggling at bothBetween the sales stalling behind the other two in spite of being a fucking Switch game and the utterly abysmal spinoff numbers I'd say the franchise is pretty much done. And good riddance, first time I've ever cancelled a fucking preorder and emulated out of spite, and I put that preorder in when the game was fucking announced in 2017, the first fucking year of the Switch. At least we got Signalis that same week in 2022.I'd rather Nintendo just keep up contract work with whatever viable team is left at Platinum to keep Astral Chain going.On the bright side, the indie space is moving into hack-n-slash games. It's not yuri but a former developer who worked on DMC put out some decent one-man work in Assault Spy and he's got the upcoming Mightreya. En Garde! is basically just lesbian Zorro slapstick Sekiro. Pixel Punk's last game was Unsighted, which was what if Signalis starred lesbian robots and played like 2D Zelda, and they've got a low poly 3D game in works, Abyss X Zero with hot girls that's probably worth paying attention to. Time will tell how deep the combat gets but the demo gameplay they've shown off at least looks like a more action-y 3D Zelda like Okami.We lucked out that Nintendo of all companies has been surprisingly yuri friendly between out-and-out lesbian options in Fire Emblem and stuff in other titles like Splatoon but I'd say outside of RPGs, yuri growth in other genre spaces is going to come from the indie/low-to-midbudget level.
