being into a male anthro isn't gay actually. it's only gay to be into real human men, and even then some men can be so attractive it's not gay to be into them. for example, i myself have attraction and have fapped to male anthros before, and i even have a crush on a stunningly handsome coworker of mine, but besides that I am completely straight.
>Charizard: organic popularity
Ever since day 1, Charizard has had an enduring following and legacy despite being on equal footing with the other two starter Pokémon. Even though it was a shitmon in competitive from Gens 1 through 5, people were so insistent on using it that Smogon had commentary on their Charizard sets noting how people were trying to use it in vain. Game Freak finally caved when Gen 6 and megas came about and threw the fans a bone, as a response to Charizard's popularity and cultural impact.
>Lucario: artificial popularity
Lucario on the other hand was shilled hard before it was even a useable Pokémon in a mainline game. It starred in its own movie and was the highest rank possible in PMD Rescue Team, the Lucario Rank. It only got into Smash because of recency bias, since they needed a Pokémon from what was the newest generation at the time. Despite no one actually liking Lucario, continued shilling happens such as it becoming the face of mega evolution in XY. It never had a chance to stand on its own two legs.
if you want to add to the lucario argument, itself being a reasonable Fighting type, then getting the strongest element in the game, that resisted like 70% of the other elements, shoehorned onto it, just to make sure it was at least decent competitively and had a cool typing, is another one

Lucario had the golden ratio to speedrun Pokemon popularity
It was one of the first gen 4 pokemon shown off and it got its own movie to hype it up. Everyone also thought it was a legendary until the games came out, and legendary pokemon always get a lot of fanfare.
>consumed any and all Pokemon media as a little kid >Mystery Dungeon and furbait mons dropped almost back to back in front of 7 year old me
God damn, I didn't stand a fucking chance.
gay furries
Why is it always gay though? How come men don’t like the female version?
They do, but the anime featured a male lucario, so that's what people associated the character with.
Fuckoff chest spike makes it hard to draw breasts without going so off model its just a blue fox.
Gardevoir doesn't seem to have that problem.

>gruff warrior pokemon
>furfag bait
He looks cool
For coom related reasons
Promoted since before sinnoh hit, then kept getting pushed every gen
Smash Bros Brawl and gay furry porn
I like Lucario that proud of his power.
kids like him because hes kind of like a dbz character. furries like him because you know why.
>hes kind of like a dbz character
pretty sure he shares his VA with goku as well
built for human cock
HUMAN MAN HUMAN MAN HUMAN MAN
He's a humanoid design that looks cool and has cool typing. Also a lot of people want to fuck him for some reason.
>or some reason.
it's an anthro jackal
People have been wanting to fuck anubis since the days of ancient egypt
imagine picking blue homosexual dog when you could have cubone instead
>squirtle used bubble!
gay furfag and maybe smash bros
Female Lucario are built for human men
Dafaso is cool and all. But makes me feel better that I draw better hands than him.
It’s Dagasi
Dagasi's art is when porn rots the artist's mind too much. He can't draw anything cute without that corrupted touch.
steel fighting sounds cool on paper until you realise it's weak to fighting then it's shit

Why do boomers love Charizard so much? It’s insufferable
I mean, just look at it? It's a fucking fire dragon lizard.
It’s a fat dumpy looking lizard
It's not even a dragon, retard.
it is, it just more fire and flying than it is Dragon
same with Gyaradoes but he's more Water and Flying
It looks like a european fire-breathing dragon.
Everyone fucking loves dragons
Shoving Charizard into every game does not make it organically popular, anon.
>Charizard: organic popularity
lmao
maybe for the first new games, now? fuck no

Charizard was shilled too with the anime but yeah not as much as Lucario, Lucario is def Gamefreaks Lightning
Not to mention Lucario is a pretty broken type combination steel+fighting
It's a little gay that he's weak to fighting-types. Like, if he really was a DBZ character he'd be Krillin.

What the fuck
I'm not going to look but I'm guessing mental deterioration by extreme sexual frustration coupled with internet and loneliness
Edgy teenagers and furhomosexuals alike love this thing.
Why would a Pokémon wear clothes
we make dogs wear clothes irl, why wouldn't we also make pokemon wear clothes if they were real?
Why not
I mean human clothes. A machamp just naturally has that
What's the difference between "human" clothes and Machamps pants?
They are clearly part of their body
WHAT?
Do you mean that he grew the pants on?
>cool anubis theme
>fighting/steel
>learns extremespeed at a time when the move was exceedingly rare
And most importantly
>his movie was good
He earned that spot in Smash.
Reminder that Ash's Charizard was a pathetic Dragonlet
So that’s why he was such an asshole. Literally Manlet rage
why do you think his original trainer abandoned him
>jogo vs nanami
SEXOOOOOOOOOOO
cool ninja mon
Sexo
Only memorable design in the entire gen
Garchomp?
I really like its design and moveset. Also helps lucario was in one of the better Pokémon movies
It was one of the first gen 4 pokemon shown off and it got its own movie to hype it up. Everyone also thought it was a legendary until the games came out, and legendary pokemon always get a lot of fanfare.
furries want to be a dog
>consumed any and all Pokemon media as a little kid
>Mystery Dungeon and furbait mons dropped almost back to back in front of 7 year old me
God damn, I didn't stand a fucking chance.
Why yes, I do prefer Gardevoir, Lopunny and Quaquaval.
>Quaquaval
What possible reason could you be attracted to this thing
Why aren't you
Furries are mad when they see hot women in video games and then they masturbate to this:
furries want to fuck a dog
>Love him in Brawl
>Hate him in 4 and Ultimate
Did they nerf him or something? I feel like he was perfect for Brawl's floaty mechanics.
Why is so much Lucario art depicting as the subby bottom
Is it the monlet height, twink body and big thighs?
Tomboy female lucario x male braixen best pairing.
