Top 10 Pokemon Species and Characters that Were Ruined by Their Fanbase

Both humans and Pokemon. You know where this is going.
The Top Ten
1 Primarina

Some of (not all) the fans of the popplio line (mostly the popplio defense squad) are very annoying. They get mad at anyone who doesn't like the line, try to make people feel bad for not liking a FICTIONAL character, and some even get mad at you for preferring the litten or especially the rowlet line over the popplio line, and then they talk about why primarina is "the best" and tell you that you are wrong for picking one of the others (especially for decidueye). I do love the line, the whole line is also among my favorite pokemon, but from my experience some of the fans of it are so annoying. Also, I'm sorry that this rant that it ended up being more about the whole line, I just wanted to rant about (some of) the fans of the line because I find (again, some of) them really bad.

Being the most beautiful and feminine final starter evolution comes with it's cons...

2 Gardevoir Gardevoir is a third-generation Pokémon species originally introduced as a Psychic type creature in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Gardevoir deserves better than furry bait

Too much porn of Gardevoir

3 Braixen Braixen is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It evolves from Fennekin and is characterized by its witch-like appearance and the twig it carries. Braixen's twig can be used to cast spells and generate flames for attacks. Its design reflects its potential for... read more

It's more furry bait than its evolution. That's why Delphox gets overshadowed by this thing on a constant basis.

The fanbase didn't ruin her for me, they made everything better.

4 Lopunny Lopunny, known in Japan as Mimilop, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

In order for it to be considered over sexualized you have to be able to look up _____ fan art and sexy art almost immediately pops up, that's not the case with Braixen and Primarina, but it is with Gardevoir and Lopunny.

Same with gardevoir

5 Lucario Lucario is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Lucario first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and later appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and subsequent sequels, also appearing... read more

There's fan art where he has breasts...

7 Lusamine Lusamine is a fictional character introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. She is the head of the Aether Foundation.

It's hilarious that people find this crazy ass MILF the hottest Pokemon character ever when she literally flat chested twig with questionable hair

Ugh, she's like a ripoff of Dr. Fennel with her big ass blonde hair and I think she is the worst version of Carlota (En Nombre Del Amor) I've ever seen. People find her hot?! Ha ha ha! Don't make me laugh!

8 Tsareena Tsareena is a seventh-generation Pokémon species introduced as a Grass type creature in Pokémon Sun and Moon in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
9 Wicke

She's very thick in size so it should not be surprise to anyone how sexualized she became due to the perverted fanbase.

10 Acerola

A LITTLE GIRL? All the other fanart of fictional animals is just nasty, but this crosses the line. Even though she is cute (and I don't mean it in a perverted way, I mean it like you would say a puppy is cute) that doesn't mean you need to make porn of her. All character porn is disgusting, but I'd much rather it be about an adults than sick, disgusting, PEDOPHILIA.

Most of her fan art has pedophilia written all over it

The Contenders
11 Mallow
12 Red Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Red, Green, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen.

Unpopular opinion but I don't like the stoic badass personality that Red is given by the fanbase. I don't like how he's worshiped. I don't like how he is treated less human than the other protagonists just because he's the first playable character and is the "best trainer ever". It's dull and boring. Give me a more human Red like in Pokemon Origins.

THANK YOU rue. Finally someone who doesn't worship red and say he should replace ash.

13 Serena Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her mother, Grace. In Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice Rhyhorn riding, an activity Serena had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in later episodes. Although shown to have a strong will, Serena can be sensitive and insecure at times as seen in Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!. When she was frustrated with her Pokémon, she lashes out when at her limit and leaves ...read more.

There are big perverts, so watch out! Nope! She is one of those characters with a horrible fan base!

14 Plumeria Plumeria is a fictional character introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. She is an Admin of Team Skull. She is considered the "big sister" of the team, due to how she runs operations strictly but also cares for her underlings. She specializes in Poison-type Pokémon.
15 Ash Ketchum Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, is a fictional main character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. Ash is training to be a Pokemon Master, with his buddy Pikachu. Ash tries to stop the evil Team Rocket from stealing his Pikachu.

19 Brock Brock is a character from Pokemon and is created by game freak & Nintendo. He was the first gym leader in pewter city, and specializes in rock Pokemon . ...read more.

Brock is a great character, I won't deny that, but the amount of salt the fanbase has for him being replaced is tiring at this point. Not as bad as Serena's, but it's still there.

20 Dawn Dawn is a character from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. In the games diamond, pearl, and platinum version she was one of the playable characters you can choose from. She will be an assistant for professor Rowan if you choose her male counterpart, Lucas. ...read more.

23 Blaziken Blaziken, known in Japan as Bashāmo, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Why is he/she not on this list? Blaziken fan art is everywhere, and not the good kind of fan art

24 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels.
