Pokémon started as a game with only a male protagonist. It wasn't until the addition of Kris in 1999'sPokémon Crystal that a female protagonist was made available, and began the now traditional phrase in the games of "Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"

People identify with many more genders than this binary question suggests. Some are genderfluid, switching between genders, non-binary, identifying as a third gender, or agender, identifying with no gender at all. There are many more identities than just the three listed as examples.

As societies are continuing to evolve and recognize diversity in fellow human beings, so too should games as they are a reflection of society.

This is why future pokemon titles should add at least an "other" choicr regarding gender.

In all seriousness, I think they could handle this the way Animal Crossing or even The Sims did. 2 choices, but make clothing gender neutral and let people do whatever the fuck they want.

They should just ask for the sex so tumblrers cant get triggered anymore since sex and gender dont have anything to do with each other at all right?

They should add an apache attack helicopter option too you mentally deranged fuckwit?


There are only two sexes, anything else is made up. Whatever your sexual preference is unrelated to your gender. There are only two genders, wave your freak flag but don't expect everyone to salute it or better yet, stop pushing this shit entirely as it's completely idiotic that a children's game should cater to your sexual deviancy

No-one fucking cares about made up tumblr genders and I'm tired of seeing this goddamn pasta.
Pokemon is a game for little kids. Most people, especially kids, don't fucking care about this gender or sex shit. Fuck off, Rebecca Sugar.

Assuming those are real, what the fuck do they mean? How is butch a gender? Why does agender have three versions?
It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it frankly.

Not an expert here, but to my knowledge, some are, some aren't. Butch and femme aren't genders, but refer to how traditionally masculine/feminine a person's gender expression is instead.

>>
>>31246929

Not a Tumblrina, but the how are those mutually exclusive?

If gender is a social construct, by definition there is an unlimited amount of genders, which qualifies as "many".
>>
>>31246966
because if you claim that gender is not real, but something that society imposes on you, but at the same time identify as gender (x) than one's own claim that you are gender (x) is not real on there own premise that gender is not real.
>>
Why are we talking about this on a Pokemon board

There are two genders: male and female. Anything deviating from this is an idle fantasy, wish-fulfillment. You can say whatever you want, but at the end of the day, it's all down to X and Y.

>>31246988

But claiming gender is a social construct doesn't necessarily mean it isn't real.

It's there, but it's a quirk of society, rather than something assigned to you. It's all based on perception really.

If someone says they perceive themselves as "genderqueer" and someone else says they perceive said person as "male" then they're both technically correct as both are technically valid.

The issue arises when they try to say that someone else is wrong for something that's completely subjective.

So you dont have sex and you are on a computer all the time?

>>31247451

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. It's like saying "there is no God but god." That's only a belief, because there's no proof as to whether or not that God is real or if it is, if it's the only one.

It's a subjective belief.

I know that's false flagging by the way.

There isn't even a "boy or girl?" choice anymore. Kukui just shows you the 8 available beginning looks and goes "which one of these is yours?"
