Luster Soldier (1) - This is clearly the new Gardevoir. When this Pokemon got leaked prior to the games official release, I knew this one would get rule 34d hard. It has design vibes similar to Gardevoir as a feminine humanoid Pokemon, while also having the exact same typing. Sure enough, I was right. On one rule 34 site I check out, Hatterene has 1424 pictures right now, which is somewhat impressive for a humanoid Pokemon that wasn't expected to have as much support in the furry community. However, it finds itself outclassed by Cinderace with 2646 pictures since it has more appeal among furries. Gardevoir's rule 34 popularity was a product of its time, as it came into existence back in 2002 when the furry community was a very niche thing. Now, the furry community has evolved to the point where it is able to dictate which Pokemon get the most rule 34 pictures. Most artists who do Pokemon rule 34 tend to specialize in either the Pokemon themselves (mainly furry artists) or the human characters. Not many artists do both the Pokemon and the human characters.
