Could someone add something that explains the distinction between this trope and Chaste Hero? I'd do it myself, but I'm not entirely sure I've got it right myself...

Well, I think that Chaste Hero has to be... well... the hero. This can be anybody, even the villain, theoretically.

The Chaste Hero doesn't even think about romance - completely oblivious to it as a concept, maybe even oblivious to the preferred sex.

Oblivious To Love may be aware of love, even want that sort of thing, but doesn't realize it's already there... hitting on them.

I guess it's sort of like the CH doesn't get the theoretical application (without the alien overtones of What Is This Thing You Call Love) and OTL doesn't understand the application.

Regarding the main Pokemon Anime example: It is Too Soon to tell regarding Iris and Cilan, as they've only been on for half of a year in Japan. Also, the apparent implication that the female characters join the party just to get a crack at Ash's "belt" is most unfortunate.

For my personal opinion: excluding the two newbies, I only count 2 definite crushers (one of which being male) with another female being able to go either way. Other opinions can be construed. Hence, my edit, in accordance with the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement.

Can we change the page image to one of Phineas with Isabella?
