>design a gender-neutral/masculine starter that most young boys will find appealing
>final evolution is the most feminine starter evo in the series when most Popplio will be male
Can somebody tell me what the hell GameFreak is thinking? Were they taken over by Tumblr or something? Popplio had so much potential.
What's wrong with being FABULOUS anon?
gamefreak has clearly lost their head.

Yeah it is a bit...odd. I mean I'm fine with Poppmaid but now I'm interested in seeing how we make the transition from little performer seal to Siren.

Proof that they won't change the 87.5% M/F ratio?
Also I like how a pink nose and a frilly cuff are now masculine.
boys can be fabulous

>NB4 gender is a construct
seriously though, who cares. I never got why stuff like this bothered people.

the autism in this post is impressive
>want a water/fairy mermaid since the type was leaked
>now we have it as a fucking starter
>looks majestic as fuck
Your tears are delicious
The only generation to box my starter.
This is gonna be a wild ride.

I'm missing something here. Are we talking about leaks?

The problem is that not only does it betray sea lions, but Popplio happens to be the most masculine starter of the three, so it betrays its pre-evo too.
I don't understand this meme of boys can't find majestic/pretty things cool in their own right. Does it really fucking matter?

Litten is

How is an owl more feminine than a seal? Do you look at cats and say "yep, definitely a girl's thing. Now you know what's manly? CLOWN SEA LIONS"?
It isnt even real you retart fag op

If they were going to they would've done it with the fennekin line

>The problem is that not only does it betray sea lions
It evolves
It's long been established that Gamefreak's design philosophy is pick the best one our designers can come up with, wether or not it makes perfect sense. Popplio is a good design; Poppmaid is a good design itself but the two don't particularly intersect unless Popplio is female (logically speaking). Gamefreak doesn't give a fuck about the logic part; they just picked Poppmaid and they'll have it 80% male like Meganium because that's just what they do.
