Very explicitly feminine design, feminine name

Why do you care so much?

this is the face of OCD

>>29569754

Some autstic faggot keeps making 5 threads a day shitting on Primarina. It's pathetic.

>>29569784
I'm not even shitting on it you fuck. Where am I shitting on it? I am just putting the question there of why choose this design for a starter knowing their gender ratios are all fixed to favor males? This could have been a pseudo or something instead but noooo

>muh pseudo Dragunz

>>29569703
Giftmon gender ratios are not real. I guarantee that Eevee would be 75% female if it wasn't a gift.

>>29569809
Because not every starter needs to be a manly man just to calm your autism. You're not the only player

>>29569836
Doesn't have to be manly, but the design itself is shit.

>>29569863

Ebin.

GF is trying to even out 6 gens of male dominant starters. Let's have the next 6 gens have 87.5% female ratios. Fuck this boys club up.

>>29569836
Omfg the presumptions on 4chan what a bunch of cucks.

I LIKE Primarina but it peeves me how it is SO clearly a pandering mon for 'rittur girrrs' and is INTENDED as a female pokemon yet because of the retarded 'traditions' of starters, most Primarina will be boys.

>>29569863
I wasn't talking to you, kid

>>29569886
Or this. Im fucking sick of gender ratios being used for 'rarity' when it makes absolutely no difference at all in the grand scheme of things. What a bunch of fucking cucks gamefreak are.

>>29569892
Yes, but only autists care about the gender ratio. There will be more feminine starters in the future. Why wouldn't they exist? Just because it triggers 10-14 yo boys?

>>29569927
Nothing wrong with feminine starters if the gender ratio was 50/50 instead of the retarded 87.5% male ratio starters are burdened with.

Tsareena's line will probably be 100% female and its as feminine as Primarina. Gamefreak obviously DO mind making clearly male/female pokemon single gendered but their fucking obstinacy is making shit like 87.5% mals Primarina happen because they're a bunch of fucking cucks who like artificially making things 'rarer' by being a pain in the ass. Cunts.

Why don't they just make the gender ratios 50/50?

>But muh rarity for breeding

Autists will reset anyway might as well make it easier for the poor fucks

Nintendo loves traps. Popplio line is supposed to be a trap. That's the point. Nintendo has been doing this shit forever. Do you people not remember Birdo or Vivian?

>>29570002
I agree with you, they should remove that ratio and fix every starter and other rare Pokemon, but that may never happen due to the way the Pokemon data is stored. But I don't really see the issue. It's shitposter bait, but who cares about that.

>>29570047
Exactly. The fact that so many will soft reset for a female rather than the designs natural gender ratio being sufficient shows they done fugged up.

I love my male Sylveon, Merlin, btw.

>>29570002

It literally doesn't matter unless you care that much about breeding or want to see a specific symbol next to their name for whatever stupid reason.

>>29570002
I'd honestly understand the complaint if masculinity and femininity actually played any significant role. The rarity ratio thing is stupid, but if your only complaint is some ideological association of gender in a game were gender mostly used for its mechanical purposes rather than reflecting said gender roles, then it's ultimately fucking stupid to be angry at that.

75% female.
>le starter ratio for 'rarity'

Consider the following:

More masculine Arcanine, 75% Male.

More feminine Ninetales, 75% Female.

No SINGLE other pokemon is so explicitly designed as to scream and shout 'its a boy' as this whilst having a totally nonsensical gender ratio. Not even Sylveon.

A long-haired mermaid with thick eyelashes that wears sea-shells, 'pearls' in it's hair, and a frill that just happens to cover it's chest area. It's voice is feminine. It's animations are feminine. It's name is feminine. So it isn't even it's looks. Literally every single thing about it as feminine. Except for it's gender ratio.

So either it was drawn specifically to evoke the 'trap' thing, or it was drawn as a female and they just didn't think about the starter ratio.

They aren't trying to appeal to children. They are trying to appeal to LGBT community.

A lot of people would care a fuckload if the stats were reversed and starters became primarily female (and more gendered in design like chesnaught, emboar and incineroar). This board would implode.

Autism right here.

>>29570718
>>29570788
This game is all about breaking tradition. No gyms, bruh! New movement system. Press A to enter buildings. Players visible during battle and even being involved in battle. If they adjusted the gender rations to 50/50 I wouldn't be surprised at all.

>>29570753
If you think /vp/ wouldn't be just as triggered if the starters were announced as primarily female for the next few generations you haven't been paying attention to how triggered they've been over an overtly girly starter to begin with. They complain about how gendered a starter is and design male "alternates" like some kind of tumblrina would do for an overtly male Pokemon they don't like looking too male.

>>29570949
>They complain about how gendered a starter is and design male "alternates" like some kind of tumblrina would do for an overtly male Pokemon they don't like looking too male.
I don't fucking get it. What even is this shit? Are people really this insecure to cry because of "feminine" Pokémon? Are they afraid to become gay if they pick a "feminine" looking Pokémon?
I legit don't understand this kind of autism. Genders in Pokémon are super insignificant in most cases anyway.

They literally couldn't care less. Japs don't fucking care. Especially not in a game marketed towards children.

And what makes you think that Popplio won't be the first starter to have a higher female to male ratio? Maybe even 50/50. It's not like this possibility is out of this world.

I swear every day the amount of autism on this board like triples

>>29571110
Autism+raging tumblrinas is never a good combo, I agree.

>>29571091
But anon, from a story/lore perspective it matters. Apparently Primarina live in colonies, which raises the question of how they reproduce that much when 9/10 of their species are males and probably gay too! They shouldn't even exist because they would never reproduce enough.

>>29571028
>And what makes you think that Popplio won't be the first starter to have a higher female to male ratio?
It's a starter. I mean, there's a very slim probability of them ending up adjusting the gender ratio, yeah, but why? Not only that, but why would they only do that for Popplio and not the other two?

All three of the starters are the same, and the ratio is in place to make it harder to be able to breed them.

It's a bit strange to even consider that they would keep the ratio of the others the same, but reverse Popplio's for little reason other than to appease the mentally deficient fools who keep making it out to be some kind of issue.

Unless they finally decided to go ahead and make starter gender ratios 50/50, but that's unlikely.

>>29571151
You can apply that to every single starter. Also: Asexual reproduction. Dittos. Magic. Take your pick.

That's simple, Anon. The gender ratio is simply game mechanics. Story/lore perspective the gender ratio would likely be more even.

See? It's that simple. Why can't you reach this understandable conclusion yourself? I mean, you ever heard of gameplay and story segregation?

How hard would it be to reverse the gender ratio anyway? I'm just wondering if there's some really difficult coding or something that would make them not want to reverse it's gender ratio. Also you could argue that the whole thing is mentally deficient to begin with, since all it really does is make things more annoying for people who want a female and encourage threads like this.

I fixed it for you, Anon. It's really impressive just how many people honestly think it's a huge deal. It's just a game. The ratio is just a mechanic. People are free to futz about all they want with female Primarina's in art or other fictional settings if they want. There's nothing preventing this.

>>29571377
As applied to a feminine appearing starter. So yes, the fact that Primarina is feminine is the issue.

>>29570201
Doesn't look masculine nor feminine though.

Anon must think 'angry' means masculine. Its probably skewed towards female because muh Fairy and also its said to be popular with female trainers so maybe they've been bred over time to also be female so maybe its actually deepest lore...

Thisnt even comparable. Primarina by contrast very very explicitly plays every female signifying trope to the letter:

-mostly pink and pastel
- jewellery
-long hair
- hair accessories
-frills

Is anyone really amd truly gonna say that Gamefreak gave a single thought of a male Primarina? It's entire design is basically ' by-comittee-girl-pandering-101'. Yet its cursed with that fucking gender ratio that is nonsensical when elsewhere Gamefreak go out their way to make the likes of Jynx, Liligant, Blissey, Florges and very likely Tsareena 100% female because they're specifically designed to be JUST female.

Why do people get triggered over male Primarina but not female Incineroar?

>>29571879

>mostly pink

Are you blind?

>>29571880
Because female Incineroar is very unlikely to happen.

>>29570977

People are just getting upset because they're slowly realizing that the japanese aren't actually sapient.

The Japanese are notorious confabulators; they essentially come up with stories to explain their past actions that are in no way actually connected to a real continued thread of reasoning. If you were to ask a japanese person why they did something, and then presented them with evidence that makes their explanation seem possible, rather than actually scrutinizing the information they just stare at you blankly because, unlike other humans, they genuinely don't understand how different ideas can effect each other. This is why they're so predisposed to horrible war crimes; they fight according to their basest, most brutal instincts and then come up with justifications later. There's been research on this; 95.7% of Japanese citizens literally can't pass the Turing Test.

This is why Japanese companies give out these bullshit nonsense reasonings for their actions, because they literally base their actions on nothing and construct a story around it later. The REAL reason the gender ratio for starters is mostly male is because they're horribly sexist and think of their coolest strongest heroes as male by default. But they made Primarina the way it is because they think mermaid animal people are sexy and they want to mastrubate to it. And the fact that these ideas they've presented are in direct conflict mean nothing to them, because the Japanese mind is incapable of rational thought or contradiction recognition.

Not everyone in Japan is Oda Eiichiro. There's a good number of programs and manga that treat LGBT people and crossdressers with respect. Thing is, alternative sexuality and gender is treated like everything else "deviant" but hurts no one- do whatever you want in your free time, just contribute to society and don't stick out when you're on the job or a job-or-filial-piety-related social obligation.
