Is Pokemon a Female IP?
>>58184049Ever since the f*iry type was introduced
>>58184049The mascot and most iconic pokemon were cutemons from the beginning, so yes
>>58184173CHARIZARD isn’t a cute mon
>>58184049It tried to be since XY but attracted a different crowd like MLP
>>58184049>child-friendly franchise>simple gameplay>monster design has a stronger focus on being cute rather than cool or edgy>always about friendship and other wholesome things>very little to no fanservice for male fansYes. If anything it's surprising how many "men" are into it
>>58184101>Dragons are the coolest, most powerful and dominant type in game>gamefreak somehow sees this as a problem and thinks that the type that is LITERALLY meant to be the strongest is too strong and needs a sassy girlboss to slap it down like some modern movie or Sony exclusive>Smogon is probably in GF's ear telling them exactly how to balance the game and making them put Lando in every game and that's how we ended up with the fairy type>despite this betrayal of the dragon type people still bought XY proving normies have no taste
>>58184206>also strong against dark and fighting for good measureTruly the YAAASSS QUEEEEN type
Yes
>>58184049soon, sisters
>>58184192>Fucking implyingSugimori interpreting it as an epic dragon and the anime working off of Sugimori's art doesn't change the fact Charizard was definitely designed by a woman
>>58184049Those dresses are so pretty.
>>58184049why did they make brionne so ugly? all they had to do was make it look a little feminine but they instead dressed it up like honey booboo or something
for sissy gays
>>58184049>Clefairy was supposed to be the Mascot, but little Timmy is gay and hates girl>There was supposed to be a counterpart game to go with Pokémon Yellow called Pokémon Pink which would have a playable Female Protag running around with a Clefairy, but little Timmy is gay and hates girls>Pokémon XY(Sex Chromosomes), the introduction of Fairy types, more Feminine Pokémon, and more Female NPCs in significant roles, this made little Timmy seethe to no end as he is gay and hates girls>As every new Gen releases, it brings forth more Feminine Pokémon and more Fairy types just to spite little Timmy cause no one cares about him being gay and hating girls anymoreThey say you can spot little Timmy are in this board right now seething til this day..
Is a Game women play like animal crossing and KH, yes.Is normal that some fanbase is filled by some people, like DB and latinos, speedrunning and autist, Naruto and blacks , Expedition 33 and bots shilling the game.
Faggot IP
>>58184049I love fanart like this
Tranny IP
>>58184049No. Not even close.>>58185867Wrong. The reasons people are giving so far for why they think Pokémon is a female IP in this thread are nowhere near enough to make Pokémon a female IP.If Pokémon had really been an IP with a female only target audience, then the franchise would have been drastically different, with entire large aspects of the franchise being different. The games and the anime would have been very different.
>>58188855What exactly do you think would be different if Pokemon was mainly targeted towards girls? I still think it was. at least more so than most other ips.
>>58188900Ash would've been a girl for one with the "eyecandy" traveling companions being the male protagonists or someone like Drew
>>58184101>>58184206>>58184345Fairy was truly the best thing to happen to Pokemon
>>58189040I'm Mary and this is my pet CandiThe name's ChuckIt's Candi nowYes mommy
>>58184049Not when it was created but currently yes
>>58184049>>58187501>Fancy Pokémon
>>58184049No furry pls. Replace Brionne for Meloetta, tinkatuff or dolliv
>>58184206>>Smogon is probably in GF's ear telling them exactly how to balance the gametpci despises smogon wtf are you smoking lol
>>58184049I wanna have sex with every single one
>>58190215>"no furry pls">asks for furries
>>58184049Gen 4 ruined the franchise by turning it into a furnigger IP. The moment they realized they could capitalize on Gardevoir's zoophilic fanbase it was over.
>>58184049Its a male degradation IP
>>58190440lol there isn't even a gen 4 pokemon in that image you autistic schizo faggot
>>58190692>zero reading comprehension
>>58190259Why do they keep bringing back Lando in every gen? There's no logical reason, the genies aren't popular outside of competitive.
>>58192137>pokemon from directly before gen 4>pokemon from after gen 4also>page 10lol imagine being afraid someone will read your posts, fucking faggot
>>58184101FpbpTotal Fairy Death
The Pokémon franchise has a very wide target audience, for male and females, all ages. But still more of a focus on children, and did also start off more so on the male side, but still not totally one way. So just because the franchise has some pretty, cute, pink or girly stuff in it. Is nowhere near enough to make Pokémon as a whole be a female only franchise, it's just because it has a very general target audience, so there's variety to appeal to many different groups.>>58188900If the Pokémon franchise really had been for a female only target audience. Then for some of the drastic changes I'd say the franchise would have. One major thing being that It'd be highly likely that Pokémon Battles would just outright not exist, this one change alone would result in the anime being very different the games being a very different genre entirely. The games could maybe then be more like a pet sim series, or some game with you just go around meeting characters and doing stuff, It's kind of difficult to say for sure exactly what. If anything, Pokémon Contests or something like it may replace Pokémon Battles, but of course being different from the Pokémon Contests we have, being more in-depth but also likely lacking the five Categories from the games, so possibly more like what we know of as Pokémon Contests from the anime. There would be quite in-depth mechanics for interacting with and caring for Pokémon. Of course there would be player character customisation. And that would also of course likely mean dressing up Pokémon too.>>58188905This too. How male characters would have been handled is a whole topic of its own. For female only target audience franchises, there's quite a few different ways they handle male characters.
Collecting things is a human hobby. Stamps, dolls, trinkets, and even books. I'm glad it appeals to girls, boys, fags, tomboys, tomboy appreciators, pedophiles, furries, hag lovers, and degenerate of both sexes.
>>58184049It only became one when they sissified the franchise with kalos.
>>58192262gf clearly likes them themselves, making a fourth member and giving them new signature moves.
>>58184206>Fairies are exclusively feminine because disney said so!You're a cultural illiterate, put down all the hollywood slop and read a book.
>>58184049Unhinge people who chop off their dick IP
>>58184049I don’t know but I’d be terrified if a girl I was talking to shared a thread or something even remotely related to /vp/
>>58195636/vp/ actually has a fairly high % of females (bio females) compared to most boards on 4chan
>>58195108The only masculine Fairy in Pokémon is Grimmsnarl, all the other Fairy Mons who are male leaning are feminineAnd speaking of masculine Fairies even in folklore, the female Fairies still outnumbers and are more well known than the male ones, it's not just Disney it's all of the Folklores that Fairies are predominantly feminine
>>58195108>read a book, chudnigga have you SEEN a fairy pokemon before?!
>>58190367Tell me what animal they are based on brainrottoid
Fairy was the best thing to happen to this game because it locked down Steel's position as the dominant lifeform in the hierarchy.
>>58195636Lol, why?
>>58195108Fairy is literally just the girl type
>>58195108Don't fall for cheap bait.I love the dark fairy folklore, especially the German and Nordic ones, but to be honest, it's not something the average person is familiar with. Thanks to sugar-coated versions from late 18th-century England and the promotion of cartoons, the view of fairies has been drastically altered.At least I'm grateful that TPC played with both concepts, giving us sugar creatures and man-eating creatures alike. Some mix both concepts so it is not easy to distinguish the dark side, like Clefaery being a mooncalf.
>>58184101Even sooner than that, since Gen 2. Babies were explicitly made to pander to girls who don't even play Pokemon or engage with any of its media outside of plushies.
>>58198134And it resulted in Gen2 being the one of the least respected generations to the point that even Sugumori apparently regrets it and lead to dex the flopped to badly that even the “popular” Gen 2 pokemon are either nothing but punchlines or forgetten fodder.
>>58198076here's your germanic dark fairy folklore, bro. the mon who's only reason for being fairy is that it's hyper feminine.
>>58198195Anon, that's a Japanese kami mixed with a Chinese celestial beast and the Japanese fairy tale Urashima Taro.German fairies are cruel and dangerous; they can blind you, devour your arm or leg, or kidnap your baby and turn it into a slave.
>>58198076No lie, I was happy when I read the Fairy Lore back when I played SMT for the GBA.One wonders why faes can't be no longer like that. Their stories are hardcore.
>>58197272That pic is a goblina
>>58195992>she doesn’t know Pokemon in general are considered furry Kek
>>58199745Sadly, because a Tinker Bell movie makes more money on merchandise than trying to bring the old folklore to new generations.
>>58199846Wrong. They are humanoids with hair instead of fur; hands and feet instead of paws, claws, fins or wings; or mouth instead of beak, muzzle or jaws. Know the difference amerimutt
BRUH
>>58188900An obvious one is the female protagonist would be the default and they would’ve only added the male protagonist later (like crystal version irl). Also Clefairy would be the mascot as originally planned
>>58184049Every major IP today markets to women because they're the biggest driver of consoomer spending.
>>58202462And the main source of income for the Pokemon IP is merch. So yes, it's a female IP.
>>58202462What is that creature pointing at the plushies?
>>58202524That's Lorelei, retard
>>58200858American derangement syndrome.
