Who is the Poochie of video games? You know, a character no one likes but is forced on us by the creator.
>>386936934
Marie from Persona 4 Golden.
Lightning
>>386936934
you mean poochie is the lightning of the simpsons?

Lightning. Lightning is the Poochie of vidya

Lighting from FFXIII. It's the creator's waifu that he needs to show everyone.
>>386937042
Main characters can't be the Poochie of their own series. I'd say like Shadow or something. Hell, even Classic Sonic in the 3D games is becoming it.
Persona mascots and >>386936994
Daily reminder that Lightning is everyone's favorite FF character.
>>386937318
I like playing Lighting Returns cause I can dress her in lots of cute outfits! She's cute! CUTE!
I'd say Aqua from Kingdom Hearts but for some reason she's incredibly popular

In Japan? Sure.

She seem to be pretty popular.

She was great in Galaxy 1, I think most people are upset that she's in Smash 4 and 3D World for no real reason besides popularity.

I can't speak for everyone, but I like Rosalina. Her childhood story was surprisingly emotional for a Mario game of all things.

I mean I don't like the character but I personally find her attractive because of her lack of massive boobs and curved ass. She looks more believable (not that I'm above character's like 2B who are literal perfection).
Lightning is the worst case

He did survive, though, but he was more or less a background object in the later games, in which all the characters were hated.

Rosalina is probably the only character in the entire Mario series that developed popularity in a manner that felt natural.
Normally characters are either given a huge marketing push immediately after their introduction (Yoshi, more recently Bowser Jr.), and then dropped if they don't work out (E. Gadd and Petey come to mind), or otherwise characters just abruptly become popular out of nowhere specifically because of their unpopularity like Waluigi and Daisy.
I imagine Rosalina was originally intended to be a one-off character. The marketing push behind her came a while after her first appearance, and it took some time for spin-offs to get their shit together regarding her to consistently appear. The impression I get is that Nintendo didn't really know what to do with her since they didn't think she'd catch on as well as she did.It's a shame too since running her through the Nintendo Marketing Machine means she's doomed to get sterilized just like the rest of the Mario cast, which I'm sure none of her fans would've wanted. Baby Rosalina is already a symptom of this.
>>386940375
Phantom Pain was a mess in general unfortunately
I think long ago, in a time before MGS4 and Revengeance Raiden would have been a Poochie. He was supposed to be cool, but everyone just wanted to play as Snake, and he gets carried by Snake through most of Sons of Liberty.
Do I guess, Kojima successfully un-poochied him, and now people think he's cool.
>>386936934
romantic subplots
>>386936934
I'd have to say Lightning, in no small part because Toriyama's obsession with her led to FF13-3 which is one of the worst video games I've ever played. Now she'll be in anything FF related until Toriyama's out. Wouldn't surprise me if we finally got a new FF:T and you're forced to take Lightning into the clan for at least one mission.

>>386944192
That surprises me, I haven't finished FFXV yet and I was expecting some kind of halfass cameo. Then again SE's supposed to be updating the game well into the future so it's possible that could change.

It's the opposite, actually. Greninja tested extremely well with child focus groups so they prominently featured him. They don't care about the opinions of pokewaifu loving 20somethings.

>>386944453
isn't that a pirate game? women typically didn't have anything to do with pirate ships due to them being full of 30+ questionable morals men resulting in endless rape as they would be passed around like a pack of gum, likely killed later when they finished.
think about it, if you were a horrible person who would likely die within 6 months doing piracy full of other scumbags with the same mindset, what would happen?

Toon Link isn't the main character of every Zelda game, just far more than any other Link.
Koopalings
>>386946703
You're a retard, even if you hate Crash he objectively isn't a poochie because he's always been the main character, he isn't forced into anything else. A poochie is a new character forced into an existing thing, like Marie in P4G.
>>386946818

Sonic was the first animal anthropomorphic mascot in vidya that got big, and everyone after him tried to copy it: Bubsy, Crash, Aero the crobat, etc.

Wait wait wait, so you are saying i can't bring up Pac-man because he was from a diffirent era? Was Crash even competeing with any mascot from 1997 onwards? And if you say Mario, who isn't an animal, why can't i compare thrm to Pac-man then? Where do the goalposts end?
