Is there a reason why gardevoir is so popular? even its design is as stick figure as it gets, it’s supposed to be a knight which is why there’s male gardevoirs
its the most human looking pokemon, thats it
>>58761127>Is there a reason why gardevoir is so popular?Rare encounter for ralts right out of the starting area. One of your rivals gets it through the catching tutorial and inspired kids to do the same. It's a psychic type which was awesome. It was great into the fighting gym shortly after. It evolves into a powerhouse that can hard carry teams. The design is unique. The gen 3 pokedex descriptions stuck with kids, too.Gardevoir was set up to be memorable and iconic.
>>58761127>SaltyXodium
One of the most inspired designs in pokemon
>>58761127Because game freak designed it to be beloved instead of being set up to fail like the entirely of the Gen 2 dex
>>58761252Love wins
>58761258>seething about johto out of nowheredo hoennbabs really?
>58761258>dissing on gen 2what the FUCK dude?
>>58761293>>58761303Thats not a Hoennig, its not from any gen. that’s just a random shitposter who’s been spreading a schizo fantasy about johto being leh bad on purpose and all the Gen 2 pokemon being made shit on purpose becuss game freak wanted to sabotage Gen 2 because they hate Pokemon like Ralph Bighead hated Wacky deli, they’ve been screeching this shit on and off for years, they used to claim that game freak hated Kansai (which johto is based on) The problem is game freak is fucking retarded and since gen2 has no shillmons, except meganium now I guess Gen2 Pokémon don’t have the same safety net against game freak’s stupidity other gens Pokemon tend to have. So anything humiliating that involves a Gen 2 Pokemon like skibidigatr is fuel for them What the fuck Gardevior has to do with any of that I don’t know
>>58761127>Is there a reason why gardevoir is so popular?Two words, both start with an S.
>>58761831Soulsilver?
>>58761831Step Sister?
>>58761831Onions sauce? I know she looks like a leek, but she doesn't make me go hungry when I see her.
>>58762572Dang autocorrect, you ruined my joke.
>>58761140And it wears a dress in addition to being human-like so even normies want to fuck it.
>>58761293>>58761303Samefag who doesn't know how to quote posts so he types out the number. GTFO you newfag.
>>58761127>>58761140Because people who live in places without link cable or other Pokemon players can actually get the final stage of a 3-stage Psychic lineFuck you Alakazam you piece of FUCK

>>58761127Its the most entry level Pokemon people can draw porn of, while pretending they're not a furry, due to it looking the most humanAlso it has a dress on, and any traces of it being a knight has been dropped over the years, they've leaned more on it being feminine and a protector (like a mother), Gallade got the knightly protective traits as a trade off
>>58761140And for Japan's older fans, Fate/stay night happened a little while after RS, so Saber's newfound existence and popularity surge on the JPN internet caused them to view Gardevoir in a completely new and completely beneficial light.
>>58761127At 8 years old, Seeing Wally catch this weird alien child made me fly "whoa, I want one of those things"Then I evolved into a whimsical elf looking thing and I go "whoa, how neat"Then it evolved into a very pretty elf thing that reminded me of playing other JRPGs and it felt like I had a mage and that was cool I was not outright horny for Gardevoirs until people started drawing alpha variants with hands big enough to lift shotas like a doll.
>>58761127>early catch in most games>incredibly strong>Wally's Ace>Appealing and feminine appearance, catering to both boys and girls.>psychic and eventually fairy; amazing typingEverything was practically handed to Gardevoir to be popular besides being in a promotional movie or something.
>>58764076It didn't even need a movie appearance because of how infantile Ash and company are, they just needed to wait long enough for it to be an unmistakable waifumon that they could give it its own Poketoon.
>>58764079speaking of that toon, it got a dub yesterdayhttps://youtu.be/3vDXiMLRm7E
>>58761127>it’s supposed to be a knightThen they did a horrible job at conveying that because knights aren't stick figures wearing dresses that fight with psychic powers.
>>58764076>incredibly strongI’d agree with this but power creep wasn’t kind to her. She needs a BST boost in the next games.
>>58764456The only thing that even remotely implies this is the fact the pokedex says it will give it's life to protect it's Trainer, which I honestly feel was done to tie it into Wally, since it was his original ace, being protective of a sickly childThey lean way more into the knight concept with Gallade then they ever did Gardevoir, who comes off more like a parental protector
>>58761127Its a pretty good design desu
>>58761252Gardevoir is a top 5 design out of all 1000+ mons
same reason avatar is so popular right now - make character designs that men want to FUCK
