It feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve done a “standing around” Ask. I get why people would make a connection between Genki and Ash, since they have a lot in common, but for whatever reason I just can’t make it click in my head to make them a pairing. If it came up in a One-Shot or something I wouldn’t refuse to do it or anything, but it’s just not a pairing I think I’ll ever feel like doing on my own. If I did, it’d probably be something similar to Goh’s debut pic, where they’re getting fucked side-by-side by their monster pals, but if I did do that I’d probably feel inclined to include Tai and maybe some other monster trainer boys… and then at that point it’d probably become too big of a pic to be worth doing. This will be the last Ask I do for the July batch. The next point where I would normally do an Ask will instead be something new, so I hope y’all will be looking forward to seeing how that goes.

So I couldn’t really show Genki with another monster here, since Asks are meant to be limited to characters I’ve drawn before. However, I did want to try drawing him again. The first pic this question is referencing was drawn back in 2016, and I’m not really happy with it anymore. I do like Genki, though, so I kinda see this Ask as a way to see how interested people might be in seeing more of him. As for partners, of the core group in Monster Rancher I really only see Tiger and Hare as good options. Mochi’s basically a baby, so that’s a little weird, I have no idea where a cock would go on Suezo, and the idea of taking a rocky cock from Golem sounds more painful than anything. However, there’s lots of other monsters, too, and I always saw Genki as being a bit similar to Ash when I’ve drawn him with a variety of Pokémon.
