Pokefur
A sub-category of the furry fandom associated with Pokemon.
Most of the same qualifiers to being considered furry apply to pokefurs as well, except with Pokemon over regular animals. This mainly includes anthropomorphizing them to varying degrees, from making them talk to going full anthro, or even leaving them unchanged. This extends to OCs and fursonas (see Pokesona), as well as art, writing, roleplaying, shipping, and even fursuiting with them.
Like with any fandom, there's also a large lewd side to pokefurs who sexualize them, often giving them such traits or drawing them in porn or fetish art (see Pokephile). Please note, however, that this does not encompass the majority of pokefurs, and a Pokephile is no more of a pokefur than someone who just draws their cute sona wearing funny clothes.
It should be noted that pokefurs can be hard to distinguish from standard fans. This is mostly due to how Pokemon are already anthropomorphized in a way, with traits such as language, movements, personality, expressiveness, and even body structure. For instance, Pokemon such as Gardevoir and Braixen have very humanoid designs and mannerisms (especially with characters such as Serena's Braixen), and the PMD series has a deep, character-driven story based on humans turned into talking Pokemon, but one can still get invested in them while still remaining a standard fan. Even OCs can be standard fan material, since Pokemon qualify as characters in their own rights.
