The term Pokésexual (also Pokesexual) describes someone who is attracted to Pokémon. Pokésexuality may be related to zoophilia in some forms, due to many Pokémon being animalistic in nature.

Controversy

This term is controversial in whether it is harmful or not, due to the fact that many Pokémon can communicate through non-verbal (and even sometimes verbal) ways. However, the sexualization of Pokémon is often shown through illustrated images of sexual slavery, as Pokémon are, in many cases, unable to deny their master’s commands.

Acceptable Attraction

There are some Pokémon that are acceptable to hold attraction to, specifically if they fit the following criteria:

They are consenting in the imagery/writing.
They are not doing it just to abide to the trainer’s wishes.
They are sentient and able to understand the implications.
They can consent.

In these cases, this attraction is acceptable, however it would be better for one to identify as a term such as fictosexual, anuafsexual, or similar, as Pokesexual has negative connotations.
