There's something about Pokémon and gay men. Take a stroll around Tumblr and hot gay men are cosplaying as sexy Pokémon, or trading jokes about them. Bravo Delta loves Pokémon, and he's a porn star!

They can even base entire proposals around the game, and show a ton of artistry in doing it. So it doesn't matter if you're a fire type, and he's a grass type, love will find a way.

So when Kotaku asked readers for ways that gaming had helped then find love, I wasn't surprised to see that gay story was about Pokémon. Reader LittleDelicious says:

As a gay video game fan, it’s hard for me to find people in my area with similar interests so I’ve always dated guys who don’t game. Since about 2012 (after many failed relationships), I maintained that my soul mate would be the one who can beat me at video games.

One day I was browsing tumblr and came upon a cutie posting about Pokémon, so I challenged him to a battle. He basically walled my entire team with a Florges. A FLORGES.

So I knew this kid, who lived across the country, was the one for me. Many months and a couple of cross-county visits later, we now live together and have been happy for a little over a year.

Give whole new meaning to "Pikachu, I choose you!" doesn't it?

While it never explicitly stated this second love story was gay, based on the reader name of TenorSounds, there's a decent chance that it is, and it's terribly sweet, as well as a fun commentary on how we interact with people digitally even if we're physically sharing the same space.

My boyfriend is...video game adjacent, would be the best term? He’s aware, and likes some games, but he’s not nearly as “into” them as I am.

I don’t know if we have any exciting stories per se, but I have kind of a sweet one. We were both playing Animal Crossing, and I invited him over to my town. We’re playing around a bit, and then I decide to do try some gardening. I say something to the effect of, “If the damn shop doesn’t have an axe today, I’m going to lose it.” And of course, they did not. I really wanted to start clearing some trees to plant a flower garden in a specific spot, and for several days in a row the game wouldn’t let me.

So, we play for a little bit more and he leaves my town. I’m about to close out the game when I notice a present on the floor in front of the Mayor’s office. I open it up and...it’s an axe! I almost cried. I was sad that I didn’t get to say thank you before he left...

But then I felt silly, because we live together. So I went into the living room and gave him a big hug! I said I was glad that he had an extra axe, and that he should have told me when I was going on about it.

He said that he didn’t have an extra axe; he had given me his.

I love him so much. ;_;

Aww! Do you have any gaymer stories?
