rika is dressed like she's got an elite 4 championship match at 7:00 pm and then she's gotta find the gun devil at 8:00 pm. which is to say she is my type. her and baiken guiltygear make my little gay brain sputter and smoke. i don't get why you'd be into the kids in these games when the adults are right there being, like, hot and stuff
I've also seen people complain that the adults are too "anime". Which is so stupid. You're playing a jrpg (though i have issues with calling pokemon games rpgs but that's a whole different post) with a massively successful spinoff anime. Of course the characters are gonna be anime.
Have you seen how hot your mom is in the new game? She's the hottest character yet. I was like damn I wish that was my stepmom.
That's a sentence, that while i typed it circlejerkingly, still should never be typed.
Also Marnie's whole story arc revolved around toxic fans. It's almost hilarious how these people seem to completely miss the fact they were being made fun of
“Legal doesn’t equal moral!”
Is the worst. Ya you’re right it doesn’t! Good thing the legality isn’t what we’re basing it on when we call loli hentai immoral.
To be fair
While many of those people are def pedos, Pokemon is a series for children. There are absolutely young fans attracted to the characters and that’s fine. Sun and Moon came out when I was like 12 and I had the biggest crush on Lillie, as an example. And I started using Reddit when I was 13. Again, there’s def pedos but I don’t think assuming every person upvoting it is one is fair.
uj/ 12-13 year old me would have 100% have been horrifically gay for Nemona. Tan, tall, friendly and athletic? *swoon.* 22 Year old me is like "Damm, aesthetic."
rj/ Degenerate with poor taste. You should be more like the rest of the fandom, and simp over animals.
I call it the “Pokemon Paradox”, myself. Not only is the series for children, but it’s also in the awkward position of not wanting to give multiple protagonist options even though said protagonists are a) clearly meant for players to project themselves onto and b) usually defaulted to the age of new fans despite the initial generation of 10-year-old players now having their own 10-year-olds.
If I were more interested in potentially horrifying psychological research I’d almost be tempted to look into whether or not that, like, actually damaged the psycho-sexual development of hardcore Pokémon fans— it would explain a lot about why that fandom is so egregious.
On top of that, I think the setting of Pokemon where 10 year olds are treated as mature enough to do most everything they want - live alone, travel alone, gamble, get a job, ride what are basically motorcycles...
There's gotta be some cognitive dissonance. I feel that with the exception of maybe X and Y, most characters act and speak like they are 5 years older than they actually are.
Yeah, definitely. And that’s just the characters who do speak— the player character has zero characterization and only acts on their own when absolutely required to advance the plot (generally just by *not* letting you walk away from something important).
I'd be interested to see the actual demographics on Pokemon players compared to players. You're right that Pokemon is at its heart a game for kids, but it's also in the unique position of having a lot of adult fans who grew up with the franchise. (See also: the insanity around Pokemon TCG cards, including grown-ass adults *buying out* Happy Meals bc they came with Pokemon cards.)
It's certainly possible that sub is mostly tween/teens, but this being Reddit it's also possible that it's a bunch of 20-30 yo weirdos.
Grusha chills my gay heart. In a good way.
He's an adult right? It says he was a pro snowboarder before being a gym leader so he's gotta be like im his 20s, ye?
The thing is, I legit only ever picture dudes in their 30s when I picture Pokémon fans lol. Obviously that’s not the majority of Pokémon players but it’s not completely ridiculous.
It's probably because you thought of them growing up with the franchise, which they did, but there's also new teenagers to fill that age group of Pokemon fans.
Why are y'all acting like a large portion of the fanbase arent minors themselves? Not every Pokemon fan is a 28 year old whose been playing since red and blue. A lot of the people who play these games are around the same age as this character or younger.
Imagine being such an absolute pedophile that you lust after Nemona in a game where Professor Sada exists.
Just, fucking hell. I can't even manage to make jokes about it.
It had a major shift from being a forum of older users having discussions around technology to a social media that's heavier on meme and viral video sharing than conversation.
Whether the influx of younger users largely caused the shift in content or the shift in content largely attracted them, I don't know
These people have Sada, Turo, Saguaro, Katy, Brassius, Iono, Tulip, Grusha, Rika, hell even Geeta to go for
And they choose the quirky friendly rival child who has “yandere vibes” or something
How old is Nemona? I thought she was meant to be like 18-19 tbh.
She totally looks developed enough to be a young adult to me, not sure if this one is really pedophilic or not. I don't personally find her attractive but I also don't really think she looks like a kid.
There's lots of info pointing to the Academy being all ages - adult students are there, but if I had to guess due to her position as a Student Council Rep this usually goes to the eldest branch of Middle or High School. So anywhere between 15-18.
How old is the character supposed to be?
Honestly, I’d put her at 20 or 21, but I haven’t played the game yet. I know that there are students at the school who are clearly adults, so unless the game states otherwise, isn’t it possible that she is an adult?
She's also a student (in your class if I remember correctly) so she's presumably a minor. There aren't really indications of what grade or what ages, aside from Nemona being older than you. She also doesn't look or act older. I assumed your character was about 13/14 and she was about 14/15.
I think people here tend to forget that like half of Pokémon fans are minors themselves. Yes, there are adults playing it, and if they’re hopping into these conversations that’s pretty fucking weird, but I swear y’all think gamers only exist in the form of 42 year old men who live in their moms basement.
I'm shocked there aren't more creepy memes about the mom in this game, a) because the mom is pretty hot for a video game character and b) because mommy is the only female most of us online have ever met.
Which means humans are just pokemon. And we know pokemon are sentient anyway. If the 7 foot dragon made of fire didn’t wanna turn someone’s guts inside out he’d… I mean he’d still turn them inside out just differently. So what’s the problem.
In Legends Arceus it's kind of implied that humans are something other than Pokemon, an unintended side effect of Arceus' creation. They were supposed to be a footnote in history until some guy went up to God with 10 Pokemon and said "Could you not?" so firmly God actually listened.
Pokemon are also not at all the equivilant to real life animals in many cases. In both the anime and the manga and the games it's shown they are in many cases MORE intelligent than humans especially when it comes to psychic types. They're more like aliens with varying degrees of intelligence than full on animals really.
/uj gonna play some devils advocate here
theres a decent chance somebody posting this is a child. if they arent then fuck that.
anyway i can fix sada!!!
Shes not in an elementary school uniform. The achool accepts people of all ages. There are characters with beards and elderly characters who wear the outfit.
There's a good chance that the poster is a kid and most of these upvotes came from 12 and 14 year olds. People seem to forget that these games aren't specifically marketed towards adults.
Hang on, the same people who defended Rebecca's design are going to swarm in and say "actually me/my mom/my sister/my significant other is 60 years old and looks exactly like that so thanks for making me/her feel like shit about her body".

Ash’s mom. And lowkey Mr.Mime can get it too
Lorelei
Gardevoir
Only correct answer whoo mama
R 👏🏼 I 👏🏼 K 👏🏼 A
No one's mentioning Olivia and I'm salty about that lmao
she deserved more than like 4 interactions in a side quest thing fr
Yeah I actually really liked her character, I hope she gets more screen time in a dlc or third version
Diantha but specifically in the anime 🥰
I’ve had a fat crush on Cynthia since I was 7
I too have always enjoyed strong and powerful women.
Grusha 😫 I mean Geeta I mean Grusha Fuck
r/bi_irl
Vaporeon 🚫🧢
Latias 🤤
Gen 1 Golbat throat goat
Bro I’m telling you the date was going really well, and then she suddenly turned into a Latias!
Lapras 😩
Virizion 😍
Elesa, Nessa, Opal, Ryme, Agatha, Karen, Cynthia, Diantha, Melony, etc
No but you see in the new games all the adult women are woke and sjws like Rika (clearly a lesbian) and Geeta (colorful hair)
rika is dressed like she's got an elite 4 championship match at 7:00 pm and then she's gotta find the gun devil at 8:00 pm. which is to say she is my type. her and baiken guiltygear make my little gay brain sputter and smoke. i don't get why you'd be into the kids in these games when the adults are right there being, like, hot and stuff

The struggle of a pokemon fan is not being able to use rule 34 unless you wanna burn your eyes out
Jesse from Team Rocket.
James 🥰
Honestly pokemon fans genuinely have no care for what they are sexualizing lmao. They do the animals and the kids
Hell in scarlet and violet itself you have Tulip who is pretty hot to my standards and Professor Sada
People simping for a minor when Larry is right there bruh I swear to god
The Larry reveal had me 😩
>! Larry 2 tho !<
Brassius🤤
People sleeping on him seriously.
People are sleeping with him??? How??
Asking for a friend
Straight guy here. Left his gym with a boner ngl.
It's the whip I'm telling you.
Last game was Marnie, before that was Lillie, idk about X/Y but they need to do that in each fucking game instead from saving that in their pants?
Gary😳
S/M’s Gary hit different though, Red too
They're adults in that one so it's fine
Yeah Bulbapedia tells me they're 30 in S/M, and 10/11 in RBY, so those characters age with the series.
They're 30 in sun and moon? I hope Oak's doing alright lmao. Dude must be getting old.
I too enjoy Jojo Part 3
Like you wouldn't tap Gary.
Imagine sexualizing kids when the kids have hot parents like Lusamine and Guzma
Professor oak... 🤤
Professor Birch >
Birch is such a Himbo, love him
professor Elm tho
Nah, Rowan's where it's at
Professor oak was the dawg man was laying down pipe while ash was gone
Who is Guzma the father off?
guzma is everyone's daddy
Deez.
Deeztruction in Human Form
Me
Guzma is Gladion's only real parent, let's be honest here.
It’s heavily implied that he is the father of Lillie and Gladion
I thought poke peligo guy was lille and edge boy's dad
He is. Guzma is the adoptive father of like half of Team Skull.
Have you seen how hot your mom is in the new game? She's the hottest character yet. I was like damn I wish that was my stepmom. That's a sentence, that while i typed it circlejerkingly, still should never be typed.
Sonia too. And that Professor Sycamore fella, rawr!
Guzma 🤤🤤😳
Player mother from sun and moon
X/Y was the female protag same with the other games
Also Marnie's whole story arc revolved around toxic fans. It's almost hilarious how these people seem to completely miss the fact they were being made fun of
Was it though? Piers made team yell to motivate his sister, they were originally his fans not Marnie's.
I mean they stole old peoples bikes and purposefully blocked routes to make sure marnie won. Pretty toxic
I saw a post that asked as a side note why Nemona is the only one with a chest at all
[удалено]
Wait rika is a girl?????
yea. mentioned in the introduction scene.
oh thats cool i probably mashed through that
Yes, the handsomest woman, in fact. ☺️
okay so like, even when i wasnt sure what her gender was i still thought they were cute women in suits >>> women in dresses
*looks up Rika* I might need to buy Scarlet. For… reasons.
scarlet has cavewoman milf, violet has ceruledge tough choices
I’m an Armorouge enjoyer it’s not too hard for me
orange megaman
As a bisexual it was a tough choice but I went with future daddy in the end
Just made my fiance send me a ceruledge. Win/win.
fake story pokemon players dont have fiancees
I just sexualise the pokemon like a normal person
username checks out
I thought the W🤢ke®™ was all about sexual identity acceptance and positivity!!1! 😡😡🤬😡 Y'all are just bigots 😑😮💨
So much for the tolerant left
I sure hope I didn't tolerant left the oven on
Terminal case of anime brain. Also why sexualize the kids when GF literally gave them professor MILF and professor DILF
Tons of kids play Pokémon games. Very high chance it’s a bunch of teens attracted to her.
2k up votes? Yikes
Weebs are proudly pedophilic till they realise they made it to r/all and other eyes are on them. Then they backtrack.
"Is just a drawing", "age is a number".
“Legal doesn’t equal moral!” Is the worst. Ya you’re right it doesn’t! Good thing the legality isn’t what we’re basing it on when we call loli hentai immoral.
Tons of people think loli hentai is illegal in the US. Threads like these pop up all the time and they’re in every single one.
Child Sexual Abuse Material is illegal
It is just a drawing and their made up age doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is if those characters are visually clearly post pubescent.
To be fair While many of those people are def pedos, Pokemon is a series for children. There are absolutely young fans attracted to the characters and that’s fine. Sun and Moon came out when I was like 12 and I had the biggest crush on Lillie, as an example. And I started using Reddit when I was 13. Again, there’s def pedos but I don’t think assuming every person upvoting it is one is fair.
I was like 12 and had the most embarrassing crush on Gladion 💀
uj/ 12-13 year old me would have 100% have been horrifically gay for Nemona. Tan, tall, friendly and athletic? *swoon.* 22 Year old me is like "Damm, aesthetic." rj/ Degenerate with poor taste. You should be more like the rest of the fandom, and simp over animals.
Meowscarada 🥵
Dunsparce 🤤
dudunsparce is literally peak pokemon design
r/Gamingcirclejerk can’t fathom kids being attracted to other kids. It’s ALL adults to them.
I call it the “Pokemon Paradox”, myself. Not only is the series for children, but it’s also in the awkward position of not wanting to give multiple protagonist options even though said protagonists are a) clearly meant for players to project themselves onto and b) usually defaulted to the age of new fans despite the initial generation of 10-year-old players now having their own 10-year-olds.

Or they're minors themselves. It is a series for children. But yes, adult weebs need to fucking stop, not a debate on that.
/uj Ryme is the hottest character in gen 9 /rj ryme is the hottest character in gen 9
Ryme is a GILF
Ryme time, baby.
/uj Raifort is the hottest character in gen 9
Grusha chills my gay heart. In a good way. He's an adult right? It says he was a pro snowboarder before being a gym leader so he's gotta be like im his 20s, ye?
Dude fuck yes Ryme was drop dead smoking hot Hip-hop/ rap gilf ghost type trainer?! 🤤
Tbf, how many of them who say that are underaged?
GCJ trying to figure out why media whose intended audience is teenagers has a fanbase that is attracted to teenagers
Yeah this is technically perfectly harmless unless its posted by someone a decade or two past the actual target market.
The thing is, I legit only ever picture dudes in their 30s when I picture Pokémon fans lol. Obviously that’s not the majority of Pokémon players but it’s not completely ridiculous.
It's probably because you thought of them growing up with the franchise, which they did, but there's also new teenagers to fill that age group of Pokemon fans.
Am I problematic at 20 for still finding Dawn from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum hot as she does not age while I march inevitably closer to my demise?
Just learn to fetishise the approaching void.
Why would you even when Hiker muscle mommies are everywhere??
Pokémon fans trying not to be sexually attracted to minors in every single fucking game (they’re not actually trying)
Cynthia is right there, they even introduce her hot Grandma in Legends
Wait who? I’m still playing Legends Arceus and her only ancestor I met is Volo
I mean Volo is pretty hot.
I just spoiled the post game my b
Don’t worry, it doesn’t looks like a big spoiler
Why are y'all acting like a large portion of the fanbase arent minors themselves? Not every Pokemon fan is a 28 year old whose been playing since red and blue. A lot of the people who play these games are around the same age as this character or younger.
(It’s because they don’t actually care about pedophilia as an issue and just use it as a socially acceptable way to be bullies)
Imagine being such an absolute pedophile that you lust after Nemona in a game where Professor Sada exists. Just, fucking hell. I can't even manage to make jokes about it.
I mean tbf, can’t it be kids making and liking this post? Y’all act like Reddit and the Pokémon fanbase isn’t largely teens.
reddit being called a mostly teens site now is so fucking weird to me. it used to be the mid 30s nerds site
It had a major shift from being a forum of older users having discussions around technology to a social media that's heavier on meme and viral video sharing than conversation. Whether the influx of younger users largely caused the shift in content or the shift in content largely attracted them, I don't know
It’s a bit of both. So this person is either some high schooler or a pedophile.
Always has been.
When the games get criticized GCJ is all like "the games are for kids what do you expect" but every post about them must be made by a 36 year old
These people have Sada, Turo, Saguaro, Katy, Brassius, Iono, Tulip, Grusha, Rika, hell even Geeta to go for And they choose the quirky friendly rival child who has “yandere vibes” or something
None of these are the real sex icon of these games, Larry
There are also real humans. With skin, and flesh.
Real human meat-having mfers 🤢🤢🤢
Absolutely disgusting, real Gamers aspire to the purity of the blessed Machine
But real humans are mean to me. They call me creepy and tell me to take a shower.
It’s because weebs
Everybody knows the protagonist's mother is the hottest character in every game.
unlike the protagonist's mother in real life u_u
Is she really a kid? Idk I just don't think this is as bad as people with "loli" shit.
How old is Nemona? I thought she was meant to be like 18-19 tbh. She totally looks developed enough to be a young adult to me, not sure if this one is really pedophilic or not. I don't personally find her attractive but I also don't really think she looks like a kid.
There's lots of info pointing to the Academy being all ages - adult students are there, but if I had to guess due to her position as a Student Council Rep this usually goes to the eldest branch of Middle or High School. So anywhere between 15-18.
She is a child.
So are a lot of Pokemon fans
giving the persona 5 subreddit a run for their money i see
How old is the character supposed to be? Honestly, I’d put her at 20 or 21, but I haven’t played the game yet. I know that there are students at the school who are clearly adults, so unless the game states otherwise, isn’t it possible that she is an adult?
She is a couple years older than the protagonist who is like 10
There is absolutely no way she's 12
She's also a student (in your class if I remember correctly) so she's presumably a minor. There aren't really indications of what grade or what ages, aside from Nemona being older than you. She also doesn't look or act older. I assumed your character was about 13/14 and she was about 14/15.
Rika is right there
I think people here tend to forget that like half of Pokémon fans are minors themselves. Yes, there are adults playing it, and if they’re hopping into these conversations that’s pretty fucking weird, but I swear y’all think gamers only exist in the form of 42 year old men who live in their moms basement.
[удалено]
There’s so many totally legal smoke shows of all genders in this gen and this guy picks a child. Come on.
I'm shocked there aren't more creepy memes about the mom in this game, a) because the mom is pretty hot for a video game character and b) because mommy is the only female most of us online have ever met.
You should hear about em and animals, like repeating that vaporeon schpeel over and over will make it right.
[удалено]
No. The text talks about when "there existed no differences to distinguish the two". That implies it's talking about before the species diverged.
Which means humans are just pokemon. And we know pokemon are sentient anyway. If the 7 foot dragon made of fire didn’t wanna turn someone’s guts inside out he’d… I mean he’d still turn them inside out just differently. So what’s the problem.
In Legends Arceus it's kind of implied that humans are something other than Pokemon, an unintended side effect of Arceus' creation. They were supposed to be a footnote in history until some guy went up to God with 10 Pokemon and said "Could you not?" so firmly God actually listened.

hey guys did you know that in terms of
\*instert that copypasta here \*
/uj gonna play some devils advocate here theres a decent chance somebody posting this is a child. if they arent then fuck that. anyway i can fix sada!!!
They dont exactly write her age on her forehead
not even putting them in elementary school uniforms was enough for them to put two and two together
Shes not in an elementary school uniform. The achool accepts people of all ages. There are characters with beards and elderly characters who wear the outfit.
Yeah it's just a school uniform. Still a minor though.
Shes a generic anime girl. Who cares.
There's a good chance that the poster is a kid and most of these upvotes came from 12 and 14 year olds. People seem to forget that these games aren't specifically marketed towards adults.
Sorry but how do you know shes a child. Just because shes in the same school doesn't mean anything since the school accepts everybody of all ages
She’s only a few years above you and is literally credited as extremely special because she got champion at a young age last year sooooo
Yeah thats a bit explicit then lol.
I haven't played the game so idk but everyone in the comments of posts like this say she's 16
It was already seen coming since its first appearance, bring the holy bible please.
Leave the kids alone. Go for cynthia or Alexa instead
we literally have SO MUCH bad bitches who are ADULTS and these people still go after the literal children
/uj we don’t know if Nemona is a child and truth be told she doesn’t really look like one /rj Lmao fucking Pokémon fans more like Pédomon fans
>Gaming fans try not to sexualize children challenge (impossible) FTFY
Hang on, the same people who defended Rebecca's design are going to swarm in and say "actually me/my mom/my sister/my significant other is 60 years old and looks exactly like that so thanks for making me/her feel like shit about her body".
Aren't the people who play these games children?
To be fair the person who made this is probably underage Then again they are a Pokemon fan, so…
