I vividly remember when Popplio was revealed to be a starter, EVERYONE was making fun of her. Everybody was saying that she couldn't compete with Litten and Rowlet and then when Primarina was revealed, all of a sudden people were like "I LOVED POPPLIO FROM THE START".
real ones remember the whole world shittin’ on our baby, then switching it up realll quick when primarina was revealed. day one popplio stans rise up‼️
I feel like Psyduck really deserves AT LEAST girliepop for it's anime portrayal. Because there is nothing more girliepop than a cute lil dumdum who alternates between making every situation worse or absolutely wiping the floor with the enemy, before waltzing off all cute like they don't even know what they did. Like Misty's Psyduck took 942 episodes to use water gun properly, they need a pool floatie because they can't swim, but they also flung a crane over the horizon because they had a headache. It's just... perfection.
bruxish is mother period. she was never going for societies beauty standard she was going for the queen of her territory & is. she doesn’t need a baby form or an evolution line she knows where she’s going & she never forgets where she comes from. barbie cali girl flower power color schemes with a touch of psychedelic she a visionary & she does her own makeup not because she can’t get a team but because she’s just that capable. muah. bruxish sat the girlies down before she shook shit up & the mother category shifted fundamentally following her entry. divine.
i literally have a politoed sticker on my phone and saw this lady at work with a full SLEEVE of a shiny politoed and other of her favs like SHE IS A GIRLYPOP
i’m new to the TH-cam world of Phaun but i’ve been lurking for a while, i truly think you’re one of the most refreshing voices we’ve in the Pokemon community for a LONGG time! your unique take, nuance and groundbreaking advancements in the field of Girlypopology has shifted something in the community and honestly we have to cheer!! can’t wait for more!!
the fandom always treats the more ‘feminine’ starters so bad!!! meganium (yes, i know her moveset sucks, idc, she’s cute!!), delphox and primarina all deserve so much better! i’m glad meowscarada wasn’t received as poorly but i will never get how people genuinely like the silly overly ‘masculine’ starters like greninja and incineroar but hate on the dolls for serving cvnt!
@@sailormarciano right like there's a double standard for sure. they say it's because they don't want "overly gendered" pokemon but gag over the overly masculine ones in the same breath. pokemon caters to every part of the fandom and that includes us girls ! they should respect that.
Ikr!! The popplio line is amazing! It just doesn't miss! I could not believe people hated on primarina like??? To this day my favorite starter ever, defended it since the beginning, will continue to do so
Yeah, I definitely agree. No one says Greninja or incineroar are too human-like and unsettling. But all the girlypops are ugly and uncanny. What's the problem with being a girl? Maybe they're just scared because they never touched one. JUSTICE FOR MY GIRL MEGANIUM, I'LL FIGHT FOR HER TILL MY DYING BREATH.
I'm so scared for the grass tier list because if Serperior gets robbed I won't be able to live with it. Empoleon is so girlprince and noble and Serperior's Lady Oscar slay must not be denied in the same way.
Alomomola not making it to Mother just confused me a bit! She heals, cares for, and bodies so much for her teammates and recently even made it to OU! I vote for her to get her flowers… AlomoMOTHER needs her crown!👑
Bruxish will forever be iconic just for the fact she makes so many people mad, many say shes ugly because of the lips or the teeth but honestly if she just had one of those or neither of them she would look very bland Her concept is really unique too with the whole psychedelic look that justifies her psychic typing and recently I saw a fanmade evolution that turned her into a mermaid and it really made me understand her concept more because mermaids make themselves beautiful through illusions to attract humans, just like bruxish does with her psychic powers, which is also where her little flower comes in play, so she's not supposed to be 100% pretty like the other girls, she also needs to look a bit fierce/scary (Just went back and saw the fanmade evolution and the actual evolution is a scary looking angler fish but the mermaid is the illusion it creates, using that concept of real mermaids being ugly/scary and are just beautiful through illusions)
@@97MistysMushroomss Exactly, I think there needs to be a middle point where both of them can coexist and do their own thing, like sure make Mega Charizard Z for the money and for the straights but also give an evolution, a regional, a mega or something to pokemon like Bruxish, Meganium, etc. It really feels like the tides are changing specially in the latest generation with two of the starters being girlypop, and several other pokemon like Espathra, Enamorus, Oinkologne
I despise the vaporeon copypasta and everyone who finds it funny withba deep, acidic hatred. "HeY dId YoU kNoW tHaT iN tErMs-" [muffled struggling sounds followed by a back door opening and closing and a loud "BANG" from behind the door]
primarina will always be special to me. they wanted a fairy type starter at the time since it was new and gave us HER. i feel so represented by primarina + fairy types and i love how she and sylveon really solidified what they wanted the type to be. i hope they give us even more fairy/mother starters to represent us and spite everyone that hates on the dolls !
honestly I always ADORED Gorebyss because of how it looks sweet & unassuming form the surface but if you take a look at her Pokedex entries you find out that she's a bloodsucking monster and probably one of the more horrifying pokemon out there. I love her for that, she's got that morute melanie martinez/azealia banks vibe going for her 💅
Yesss, thank you for recognizing Mareanie and Toxapex as girlypop!!! I think this aesthetic is valid for girlypop too. Also, Mantine would be okay for me, as a kid she was there for me when there weren't many girlypop mons and I remember Molly from the Entei movie had a Mantine when fighting Misty and her team was entirely girlypop clones from real Pokémon, so I think she feels complementary for a girlypop team to me.
I WAS EATING THIS VIDEO UPPP! Water is my favorite typing and there are so many iconic water types! The love for Wartortle, Corsola and Bruxish is just too good 🩵🩵
No no no no NO, Pokemon Sapphire gets plenty of attention from manlypop/Bara fans, especially in Oras the entire Team Aqua is all Muscle and aggressive Pirates and Shelly is the baddest bxtch in town. Pokemon Ruby is literally a bunch of nerds and the only cool one in Team Magma is Courtney.. I think Pokemon Sapphire appeals so well to boys too, there was even a meme i remember from back in 2014 where someone renamed them "Yaoi Ruby and Bara Sapphire" because Team Aqua AND Kyogre embody Masculine energy. I honestly think people might've called it that because the Manlyness it embodies is elegant and swift and fun, and not boring and toxic masculinity like they wish we were. Pokemon Sapphire is also masculine, but its a Queer, exotic masculinity that no straight person could ever understand.
Late addition but let's not forget the subtext between matt and archie in alpha sapphire, like matt had an unrequited crush on his best friend your honour
7:55 JUSTICE FOR VAPOREON FINALLY My first favorite Eeveelution and one of my two Pokémon tattoos (the other is Sylveon, who is obviously also mother). Thank you so much for the cultural reset EDIT: Bruxish is SO mother, she's like the Club Kids rep from the water type
i remember when my cousin was showing off his pokemon cards during a family gathering, my aunt saw a bruxish card and went 'eh, what's this colorful fish? haha so gaudy! like your grandma!' (translated to english) and asked my cousin if she could have it
these terms are language I didn't even know I needed. please excuse me while I recategorize everything in my life into where they fit into this hierarchy. really looking forward to you doing all the types :) you should do pokemon trainers and NPCs too... like Flannery? Looks Around. Lillie, Girlypop. Valerie, Mother.
9:01 i’ve talked about this before and no one sees or gets it. there are 2 versions of every game the warm game “for the boys” and cool game “for the girls” and their respective box art legend also falls into those categories too (with one/two exceptions): -warm game (for the boys): gold, ruby, platinum, white, y, sun, shield, and scarlet -cool game (for the girls): silver, sapphire, diamond, black, x, moon, sword, and violet
As an aside I remember hearing somewhere that the B/W legendaries subvert the yin and yang they're based on, Zekrom (yin=black=feminine) is very masculine and Reshiram (yang=white=masculine) is very feminine, so the box legendaries still cater to the "for the boys/for the girls" idea
The Pokemon community needs voices like yours SO bad, is so sad how diverse the people that enjoy pokemon are but yet the creators we have that made content about it are just…the same type of guy, which is not “bad” but I’m bored!!! We need to ge all flavors in the table and enjoy all that this franchise has to offer (specially for queer people bc the amount of queer people that resonate with pokemon all over the world is not a coincidence) so thank you for being you and being here ❤ ps. I’m vindicated seeing the Slowpoke line in the girlypop tier , I love her
I 👏🏾 am 👏🏾 a 👏🏾 Bruxish👏🏾 girlie! For one I really don't even think its ugly, like I really really don't. Does no one else get the vision?! She's slaying, look at the eye, look at the color, like??? Bruxish is mother and always will be, I trust her with my life 💖
haven't even barely started the video yet but i just have to tell you this makeup look and the one contact is absolutely everything, YOU are giving mother tonighttttt and this video series is currently my favorite thing on youtube right now and i cannot wait for the next one
This was a really neat video! I had not heard of girlypop before, and I don't think its my aesthetic, but i think i understand it now because of how well you explained your thoughts. I think its so cool that Pokemon can have these different appeals, and be seen through different lenses. All of your rankings made sense, and i appreciate how you didn't talk down on Pokemon for not being girlypop, even suggesting other vibes for them, and always trying to see the best in them.
btw, despite most of my favorites being "skip", I've always liked Bruxish, but didn't have the vocabulary to explain why. So, thanks for that! She is mother.
We got to mega swampert and I was like “Well, Nessa would LOVE mega swampert and boost it a ton just by standing next to it” and then I realized she would bring a LAWT of the lower tiers up.. and then I realized she would probably not like a lot of the mothers or girly pops on her team... My whole world is shifted beyond repair and girlypop has so many variables 😭
Omg finally someone else who understands Bruxish. Such a misunderstood pokemon! As soon as I saw it revealed for Sun&Moon I knew I wanted it on my team. Along with Alolan Ninetales and Alonlan Dugtrio. Actually, this video made me realize my aesthetic might be girly pop even though I look like a standard straight passing gay man lol Seriously, my main S&M party was Primarina, Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Dugtrio, Bruxish, Salazzle, and Lurantis. Actually... now that I think about it all my main parties are very girly pop heavy 😅
I so so so so agree with what you said at the end about expanding the way we think about pokemon, and including new people and contexts. Thank you so much!!
you did so dirt with the lotad Evo line I was flabbergasted, shocked and screaming when I saw that! Justice for the little weird straight guy that wants to be funny...
Ahhh water type. Lapras is mother. I'd argue Swanna is mother tbh, she just gives graceful/protective mother vibes. I didn't skip to Primarina but I do love it. I chose Popplio because I thought Primarina looked pretty and the fairy type is so great on it too. Really enjoying these videos. Excited to see which types you do next.
omg so true with bibarel like it never even crossed my mind to be considered for any girly pop categorization but bidookie is definitely turning heads she’s making a moment for herself it’s changed my perception of the pokémon in general she’s an icon
Shellos and Gastrodon in mother tier is so real... They are the beach girl squishies bringing cute, round and curvy to the table. Gastrodon is a reliable queen, she'll always stay healthy and hydrated and she's so ready to protect her fire type girlies... We WORSHIP 🤎
My main team is comprised of 5 mother-tier fairy types and then a single seismitoad. Her name is Toaditha and she is a beloved member that balances out the team :D (Fun fact: In the shield Pokédex entry it is revealed that seismitoad’s vibrations are used for therapeutic purposes for the elderly. Gotta love a caring girlie who helps muscles and circulation)
For anyone curious, my team is (gen 8): -Clefairy (main Pokémon) -Primarina -Sylveon -Gardevoir -Mimikiyu -Seismitoad I usually do fairy only teams with maybe a psychic or 2 (Munna is a common addition) but idk I just love my weird toad gal. It’s not even a case of catching a tympole and sticking with it, I caught it fully evolved.
Just a quick note about Pyukumuku: she has the reveals on LOCK. No matter what, she’s always got a little surprise waiting to be revealed - it could be a cute ✌️ or 👊 or 👋 and I love that!! She’s my fav for a reason
Pyukumuku deserves girlypop status because of its signature Innards Out ability, which not only serves creepy/cute/gross-core but is the Pokemon equivalent of a wig reveal. It even shoots its guts out in the shape of a fist, which is so camp.
Just got recommended this randomly and had to IMMEDIATELY skip to 7:26 with shaky nerves, and I am SO relieved! Justice for our Elizabethan Collared Queen!
This is the first video of yours I ever stumbled upon. I love it!! This is such a cute idea. And I agree with your list 100%. You got a new follower in me today! 😍
Girl I'm so glad this video popped as I was scrolling on TH-cam! Love your content and as you finished the whole ranking it all made so much sense. Very coherent! Werk
It's such a shame octillery didn't get his moment to shine. If only the devs had given him a good signature move like Octa Dance (boosting its speed - referencing how octopus swirl their tentacles to renew their suction cups) instead of octazooka...
Relicanth is perfect for a old lady trainer very femme, chic, old fashioned who is in her retirement but still liked to battle sometimes to "remember the old days....". She is giving "matriarch"
Relecanth is like the grandpa that takes the girliepops to the mall and they have a whole bratz fantasy while he takes a nap in the food court. We love him for that and he loves the girlies. Very wholesome moment.
That's so specific but SOOO accurate lmao

Lovdisc is SO iconic. There will always be someone telling you she’s the weakest… yet i always want her
Omg finally someone else who understands Bruxish. Such a misunderstood pokemon! As soon as I saw it revealed for Sun&Moon I knew I wanted it on my team. Along with Alolan Ninetales and Alonlan Dugtrio.
Actually, this video made me realize my aesthetic might be girly pop even though I look like a standard straight passing gay man lol
Seriously, my main S&M party was Primarina, Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Dugtrio, Bruxish, Salazzle, and Lurantis.
Actually... now that I think about it all my main parties are very girly pop heavy 😅
Ok but the JRPG background songs are GIVING for this video. Phauns taste is clearly immaculate with tunes and with 'mons.
Keep em coming, phaun. We will watch every type!!
After that, you need to do the gym leaders, professors, notable NPCs, evil teams.
The gym leaders and champions would be a BANGER of a video, but I already hear the people arguing bc there are very debatable options there 😭
19:43 “I don’t understand it, but obviously I don’t understand gender.”
YOU HAD ME HOLLERING DIVA 😂🩷
i am SO grateful that someone is speaking up about reclaiming Vaporeon!
mantine is kind of glp cuz the way she's always with her remoraid bestie and like the way it flies over the ocean, just so,pretty...
I so so so so agree with what you said at the end about expanding the way we think about pokemon, and including new people and contexts. Thank you so much!!
you did so dirt with the lotad Evo line I was flabbergasted, shocked and screaming when I saw that! Justice for the little weird straight guy that wants to be funny...
dewgong truly deserves the world
Primarina is the MOTHER of the MOTHERS. Let's be honest.
One of my friends said Croconaw is wearing a Taylor Swift tour body suit and I can't unsee it
Ahhh water type. Lapras is mother. I'd argue Swanna is mother tbh, she just gives graceful/protective mother vibes.
I didn't skip to Primarina but I do love it. I chose Popplio because I thought Primarina looked pretty and the fairy type is so great on it too. Really enjoying these videos. Excited to see which types you do next.
primarina and quaquaval stay being the mother starters 🩵💧
This content is incredibly important to me. Azumarill is a QUEEN
Can I just say, I adore you. Such a fun and bubbly personality
omg so true with bibarel like it never even crossed my mind to be considered for any girly pop categorization but bidookie is definitely turning heads she’s making a moment for herself it’s changed my perception of the pokémon in general she’s an icon
mantine is SOOO gorgeous, she’s a calm and sweet motherly figure… she deserved better
As long as staryu and starmie are mother WHEW
Love this! I'd love to see you do poison types, I think it'd be very interesting
Love your tiers phaun!! They're so fun
I am so happy that Kingdra and Lanturn were considered girlypop!
And naturally, we all know that Lapras is Mother.
primarina has been my favorite Pokémon since it was released, i love her so much!! so glad to see another primarina fan
The redemption of marill going from okay to mother
Shellos and Gastrodon in mother tier is so real... They are the beach girl squishies bringing cute, round and curvy to the table.
Gastrodon is a reliable queen, she'll always stay healthy and hydrated and she's so ready to protect her fire type girlies... We WORSHIP 🤎
your comments on staryu/starmie had me HOWLING. so accurate--they were girlypop before we knew what that was. great vid and series--loving it!!
7:06 Lapras is mother.
It would be cool to see a team showcase, since you keep referring to how some mons go well in certain teams💕
I second this! After watching Tama Hero and Sylphiemk show off all their in game teams I want to see literally everyone’s Pokémon teams.
My main team is comprised of 5 mother-tier fairy types and then a single seismitoad. Her name is Toaditha and she is a beloved member that balances out the team :D (Fun fact: In the shield Pokédex entry it is revealed that seismitoad’s vibrations are used for therapeutic purposes for the elderly. Gotta love a caring girlie who helps muscles and circulation)
For anyone curious, my team is (gen 8):
-Clefairy (main Pokémon)
-Primarina
-Sylveon
-Gardevoir
-Mimikiyu
-Seismitoad
I usually do fairy only teams with maybe a psychic or 2 (Munna is a common addition) but idk I just love my weird toad gal. It’s not even a case of catching a tympole and sticking with it, I caught it fully evolved.
Just a quick note about Pyukumuku: she has the reveals on LOCK. No matter what, she’s always got a little surprise waiting to be revealed - it could be a cute ✌️ or 👊 or 👋 and I love that!! She’s my fav for a reason
Pyukumuku deserves girlypop status because of its signature Innards Out ability, which not only serves creepy/cute/gross-core but is the Pokemon equivalent of a wig reveal. It even shoots its guts out in the shape of a fist, which is so camp.
Misty has so many mother Pokémon 💅🌊
This series brings me so much joy I love showing you to my friends and having it in the background while we parallel play 🥰
luminion is MOTHER
just came back to say that surskit is MINDFUL and DEMURE
Reclaim Vaporeon! The straight men have ruined her
They did NOT ruin her, their bullshit holds no real impact to her, she is and will always be an icon
LAPRAS IS MOTHERRRR LIKE HOW DID THEY MAKE THIS POKJEMON SO HUMAN AND SPECEFICALLY WOMAN
Just got recommended this randomly and had to IMMEDIATELY skip to 7:26 with shaky nerves, and I am SO relieved! Justice for our Elizabethan Collared Queen!
This is the first video of yours I ever stumbled upon. I love it!! This is such a cute idea. And I agree with your list 100%. You got a new follower in me today! 😍
Vaporeon was my favourite of the Eevee evolution line and I thought it was so mermaid.
Girl I'm so glad this video popped as I was scrolling on TH-cam! Love your content and as you finished the whole ranking it all made so much sense. Very coherent! Werk
19:20 In Pokémon Sapphire you can catch AND EVOLVE Jigglypuff and Skitty thanks to Mother Lunatone, unlike Ruby where you couldn't evolve both
Water is best type but for me grass is a close second, please do a grass girliepop tierlist! Vileplume is so mother.
Damn RIGHT, Starmie & Staryu were put in Mother!! 🤣🤣
It's such a shame octillery didn't get his moment to shine. If only the devs had given him a good signature move like Octa Dance (boosting its speed - referencing how octopus swirl their tentacles to renew their suction cups) instead of octazooka...
Wow today is the day I first learn about the Vaporeon drama.
She doesn’t deserve that. We safely ignore.
COME ON WATER-TYPE POKÉMON MONTH!
Relicanth is perfect for a old lady trainer very femme, chic, old fashioned who is in her retirement but still liked to battle sometimes to "remember the old days....". She is giving "matriarch"
