Started noticing a trend of the Lucario peep being linked to peeps first Experience with the furry community.

Whether it is:

- Peeps having the Pokemon as there favorite for how cool he looks in the
movie. (which he was the star of.) and find others who think the same.
╹‿╹)

-Peeps liking how unique the pokemon was with its sense of purpose,
How it was able to speak and fight alongside his trainer in a bond seemingly stronger than Ash and Pikachu. Soon joining a Pokemon Fandom surrounding this oddly well-written pokemon, Could start writing their
own stories (fan-fictions) exploring the idea of pokemon written as if they were people and soon branching off into writing any animal as if they were people. ╹‿╹)

- Peeps relating or finding a bit of them self in the struggles and strifes of Lucario, were deeply moved by his sacrifice at the end of his movie- (Which did save Ash's life.) to the point Lucario seemed more like a peoson than magical creature (Pokemon). Unique as or even more so of a pokemon as Mewtwo with a more appealing design and as the tragic hero and not tragic Villan. The could easily see Lucario as their persona or "Fursona" ◠‿╹)

- Or a peep would just like his more humanoid design, find peeps who think the same and
that slowly evolving into liking characters designed 'like' Lucario; Eventually making their own. ╹‿╹)

All the stories seem different and unique but
they do share a same common baseline to them.
"Lucario brought me here."

Which begs the question,
How influential would you say Lucario is on the
furry community as a whole?
╹‿╹)

And as a bonus question, How many people do you think
were brought into the fandom from him? (The Movie?)
