Time to find out /vp/'s opinion on this subject.
Do you think GameFreak REALLY has furfags in mind when they design Pokémon like Lucario, Lopunny, Braixen and Gardevoir?
Are they innocent? Do they want the furry market? Are they in on the joke? Is it all just the fault of sick fucks that want to fug their Pokémon or is it part of a GF masterplan?
Vote, anons.

Its on purpose, furfags at GF design furfag pokemon for furfag players.
It's not some huge fucking conspiracy, of course they're going to see that some people are into that, in fact a large amount of people on the internet are. And if they can tap into that market a bit, they probably will. But it's not going to be a focus or anything, and they're certainly not going to let the average soccer mom in on their furry pandering.
Gardevoir was probably by coincidence though, and Lucario is just something they thought kids would love, and apparently it worked.
I think they intentionally design some Pokemon to be appealing in a cute way which would naturally be construed by people who like that sort of thing as attractive
What else could they have in mind when designing a mon like Lopunny, really
>yfw TPCi starts selling fursuits
>Lucario
Nope.
>Lopunny
Definitely.
>Braixen
While feminine looking, definitely not as blatantly in your face as Lopunny was.
>Gardevoir
Kind of a a mystery because it was early beginning, but I assume they learned the consequences after having created Gardevoir.

Like most American artists are aware of furry art I'm pretty sure japanese artists, especially those tied up in pokemon are aware of kemono art.
They don't necessarily try to break children's innocence with it though. That's mostly adults who would sexualize a paper bag given half the chance.
>>26814750
No kidding
>>26814696
I mean... Lopunny is the spitting image of a Playboy bunny girl, if one was actually a bunny. I'm sure it's intentional.
>>26814784
>>26814766
But Lopunny has no chest, let alone breasts
>>26814804
That only makes the really sick minded harder.
>>26814734
This, team charm is cute
>>26814750
>>26814766
It's exactly like a real rabbit, of it evolve to stand
they took it too far with braixen and delphox.
>>26814696
They do know about it.
In fact, they told Rule34/Paheal to change their tags in order to avoid showing their page as the first result when someone searched for pokemon.
That said, I don't think Gardevoir and Lucario were made for that intent.
Gardevoir was supposed to be just graceful and elegant, Wally's gardevoir is even hard-coded to be male in R/S/E.
Lucario is just like greninja. They were just looking for a new mascot and they gave it a try.
As for lopunny and braixen, those are fairly obvious.
One is a slut bunny that uses next to nothing on her mega-evolution, and the other is a "magic girl" stereothype that acts all cute and "kawai".
I can only imagine what they would do next.
>>26814784
>>26814804
They do have the cuffs, but those also happen to be cool as heck
>>26814843
Hell goth lolita.
>>26814843
>I can only imagine what they would do next.
>>26814856
We can only pray
>>26814865
>>26814843
and this because fags and grils can be furries too
>>26814869
SHOOTING FLAMES
FROM THE CROTCH
>>26814696
I never got how Gardevoir is considered furbait. I mean I get the same group would probably fap to it, but it doesn't look furry or like a dog/cat
>>26814865
>>26814869
>>26814880
it's a belt your retard
>>26814869
Indeed.
Keep in mind they're japanese, they don't get much into the "furry culture". However, their minds tend to "cutiefy" and sexualize just about anything, and I meang fucking anything, because it's what the japanese men want and enjoy. Those monsters are just a product of that.
>>26814890
Flaming belt and I'm the retard
>>26814901
is... is this official artwork?
>>26814901
actually all those "women" are zoroark falling for their attract

>>26814914
Indeedily doodily
>>26814926
>>26814901
Ok, I find this actually adorable
>>26814914
Yes, its official
>>26814931
They're called the Mach Girls my translator came up with steroids
>>26814960
I want to fuck Nozomi
>>26814975
I want the thick one
>>26814975
A beta male such as yourself would never be able to satisfy her
Okay wait can I post this
Can't I just love them without getting judged.
>>26814696
Furfags are as much a demographic group to get money from as kids who love PEE-KAY-CHEW, so I do believe that some of Game Freak's designs can't just be purely coincidential
Mega Lopunny and Braixen's appearance in Pokken were definitely for furry appeal but other than that I decay.
Lucario, Braixen, Gardevoir had no sexual intentions whatsoever
The only one behind Lopunny was what it was inspired by
>>26815121
Nah. Braixen is somewhat popular in japan.
>>26814696
Consider what the inverse would be: Deliberately designing things to NOT appeal to furfags. That would mean designing something to be UNAPPEALING. When you are trying to sell something, making it undesirable on purpose is just setting yourself up for failure.
So it doesn't really matter whether they're doing it on purpose, or it's just a result of them trying to make something that will sell. In the end, it's not going to change anytime soon.
>>26814764
You KNOW they would be of the lowest quality so they could mass produce them, though.But they would still sell them like they were going out of style.
>>26814696
I don't think so.
