    Default Pointless Rant #1; Pokemon Fanart; where's the diversity?

    Now, I'm a big fan of pokemon--the games at least (the anime is just way too friggin' stupid for me)--and I enjoy pokemon fanart on this site. However, there's one thing that bothers me; it doesn't seem diverse at all. I mean, most all the pictures seem to be Lucario, Pikachu, Vulpix, Eevee and its evolutions, Blaziken (nothin' wrong with Blaziken, though) or Zangoose. Now I like all these pokemon (barring Pikachu), but what about all the other Pokemon that get ignored? I think I've seen about two Miltank pics, one Farfetch'd pic, and one Armaldo pic. What about Scizor, Slowking, Forretress, Shuckle, Staraptor, Delibird, Marowak, Ninjask, Beedrill, Poliwag, Camerupt, Aggron, Ludicolo, Jumpluff, Skunktank, Vespiquen, Clamperl, Electrode, Surskit, Electivire, Tangrowth, Tauros, *inhales* Swellow, Slugma, Electrike, Murkrow, Claydol, Donphan, Wynaut, Hariyama, Toxicroak, Starmie, Sharpedo, Ursaring, just to name a few. *Breathes heavily and takes a hit of his inhaler*.


    Anyway, I think you get the point. I'd contribute more art, but I can't draw, but I wish more of the 493 pokemon got represented (c'mon, I need more Farfetch'd pictures...).


    Hm...what a pointless rant this was...

    What's wrong with Eevee art?

    Really, though, half of those are insects. I'm all for recognition of obscure Pokemon, but rule 34 only guarantees you one picture..

    I agree with you that most of the pokémon fanart drawn around are the same again and again. Eevees are definately to pokémon what foxes are to "furries". You just gotta dig more to find the ones you like. Although miltank has a pretty good amount of fanart around (considering I like cows alot so Isearched for it but..yeah)

    Camerupts and numels needs more love. x:
    Just yet another Captain Obvious on the forums...

    There's nothing wrong with Eevee art, it's just I wish other pokemon'd get recognized, too.

    And what's wrong with insects? Scizor, for one, is boss.

    What I don't get is what everyone finds sexy about Kirlia, Gardevoir, Roserade and, dare I say it, Lopunny. Though Roserade isn't as common, all of them make me cry.

    Especially the first two. What the fark?

    I'm with you on this one.

    Except I can explain Lopunny: everyone draws her with a ghetto booty.

    Also: Why does everyone draw one as a female? D: (Well, mostly everyone...I've only seen very few male Lopunny images, the rest are all female.)

    And I must be the only furry who doesn't like Lopunny...I'm also not fond of Lucario, but I didn't include the Anubis-ripoff because it's a lot less worse than that bunny slut in my eyes.

    Ludicolo creeps me out too, but in an amusing way. I'm still waiting for an image of one as Michael Jackson (If you read the Pokédex descriptions you'll see that they both share some similarities), maybe even said Jacksoncolo molesting a child. As gross as that sounds I'd fall over laughing.

    Who said Pokémon have genitals? For what we know, they might just reproduce by hugging. The latest game kinda confirms that they do poo at least...

    Oh yeah, you can NEVER have enough artwork of Skitty.

    On a side note, did you see how a complaint about how there's so little diversity in pokemon FANART, with no implications of anything porny about it whatsoever, rapidly became a discussion of rule 34, and then a brief exchange on how pokemon have sex?

    Haha, I'm a terrible perv and used to AGNPHers complaining about this, sorry.

    Same reasons for non-porn fanart, though; Eevines and Vulpixens and whathaveyou are cute and cuddly, which is just a lot more commonly drawn than badassity.

    Well, if you want to talk non-porn, the amount of Pikachu artwork in general makes me want to drown in my own blood. I hate that little rodent.

    Mewtwo can go screw himself too. (Not in the literal sense, you pervs!) Fucking emo.

    Clean Flygon fanart has always been badass. I love it when they're depictions of being in their natural environments - the desert.

    Then again I love deserts so it just might be me.

    I also feel there is an extreme lack of Bulbasaur. Bulba!

    That happens a lot on the internet.

    Also, I probably should have taken Eevee's word on that being NSFW...are you even allowed to post crap like that in the forums?

    I have no idea! Of course, it wasn't even what you had in mind, so now it's doubly useless.

    http://www.furaffinity.net/view/489200/ (SFW, but has sound.)

    But yes. I'd imagine the reasons that there's only a lot of art for a small subset of Pokemon species are the same as the reasons that there is only a lot of art for a small subset of animal species.

    You left out Charizard on the commonly done list (not that I'm complaining, and I've done plenty myself of a 'zard character of mine)

    But you make a good point, and now I'm half tempted to try drawing some of the rarer ones. There needs to be more armaldo art out there. At least there isn't a lot of bidoof art. God help us.
