Lucario is even more sexualized than Krystal, and has much more vocal and annoying fans despite also having nothing whatsoever going for him, but IIRC you love Lucario yes?

Krystal has some melee-range abilities, going by what we know of her from Adventure.

As for her role in her series, "telepath" may sound like a strange position for the crew, but being able to sense weaknesses does help. I'd say that, on a first run, she (and Peppy, who fills a similar role in 64) is the second-most useful crewmate for an Arwing boss.

Similarly, Lucario has plenty going for him. I'd argue that any Fighting-type can be decided to have a ton of moves for melee-fighting.

...Man, wouldn't it be cool to see what sort of movesets they could do for guys like Hitmonlee?

[up][up]Okay, you gotta know you're lying. There's no way Lucario is more sexualized than Krystal. Aside from that, he was a feature character in a movie, a gift in 1/3 of Pokemon generations, a mainstay of NPC's, and a unique, and useful, Pokemon typing.

[up][up]

Being a prominent, humanoid-shaped Pokemon with a strong advertizing push most certainly put Lucario near the top of the list for that sort of fan within the Pokemon fandom.

Now, whether being top of that for Pokemon put him above Krystal is a matter for debate. On a topic I neither have, nor want to have, the data for.

I'm hardly lying, you're just ignorant about how much Lucario is actually sexualized.

At this point, isn't Lucario the Pokemon equivalent of Renamon?

There's no way Lucario is more sexualized than Krystal.

It's kinda hard to quantify this sort of thing. But if I had to take a guess, I'd say they're probably on about equal footing in that respect. Maybe Lucario a bit more so due to sheer popularity, though; ignoring Rule 34 for both, Lucario seems generally more liked than Krystal.

[up][up] Yes. Also, bondage is a huge thing with Lucario as well. Not so much with Krystal.

I rarely see anyone pushing Lucario sexualization. Krystal's fanbase, while not necessarily larger, is much more vocal.

I think Gardevoir gets more creepy fans than Lucario, though.

[up][up]Agreed. If Lucario is actually more sexualized, I must be really ignorant.

Lucario makes up like 50% of Pokemon r34. With thousands of characters in the franchise, that's pretty impressive.

Anyway, my position is to be annoyed with the creepy fans, not the character onto whom they've latched this week.

[up] Thousands? Maybe if you include all named versions of trainers you fight, you'd break 1000.

That's how I feel, I just have trouble divorcing it from Krystal since to me she's literally just furrybait with no character underneath.

Source for that 50% statistic? Because I'd have to assume Gardevoir and Zoroark weigh heavily for the furries, and Elesa, Skyla, Sabrina, Karen and others are a sizable amount for the humans.
And then, sadly, all the Misty, May and Dawn lovers out there...

I'm pretty sure that Gardevoir and Zoroark are the top-tier Pokemon, and Skyla and N are the top-tier humans. tongue

I know people like to say Zoroark is furrybait, but he never had even half of the popularity of Lucario. It's really overstated.
