NOTE: This is a possible edit if my discussion has been accepted.

Nahuel, Dipper and Steven are the good examples of the Friendly Loved Boys/Adorkable boys in the entire Western and Latin American Animation

Tadashi Yamaguchi is also the good example of the Friendly Loved Boy in Anime

Shikamaru is also another good example of a Friendly Loved Boy in anime.

...vs the bad example (except for Teen Titans Go! To the Movies)

The Friendly Loved Boy/Girl or Adorkable Boys/Girls are a stock character in most TV shows or movies or video games of the opposite version of The Mean Popular Girls and The Mean Popular Boy that not all boys or male characters were strong and attractive by everyone, but also rather be friendly and smart like normal students and people would do. They're often portrayed as male characters who are unpopular among the school and everywhere but are often friendly and smart to less popular boys. He is usually not that attractive and some of them don't have a sidekick. They may be unpopular and they treated them like hell because they're too weak, cryers or powerless, but the fans (of the shows, movies and video games) and the characters (e.g Family members, best friends and love interest/crush) loved them.

There's even a trope called "Adorkable" on TV tropes

The Overall Reason Why This Trope Rocks

1. Unlike every strong male superhero protagonists from movies, shows, this new trope represented to the weak, clumsy, and unattractive, yet smart, kind, and creative boys just like in the real world.
