WCDT Strips 3266 to 3270 (18th to 22nd July 2016)
Morituri:
Well that seems unnecessarily heteronormative. It seems like the people who make this thing could at least follow normal population demographics and make about 7% gay and another 7% or so bi.
osaka:
Then again, Pokemon was created 20 years ago in the depths of some game dev studio in Japan. I'm almost surprised there are female pokemons.
KOK:
The gender restricton is what makes it sexual love. Without it, it could be the kind of love you feel for a pet.
blue5:
I am not surprised that there are female pokemon. The devs make stuff on what the demographic likes. There is no conspiracy.
BenRG:
The history of gender in Pokémon is interesting; limitations on the part of the game engine only allowed for genders to be introduced in the 2nd generation games (Silver and Gold versions). Prior to that, the only way to have gender was to have totally seperate evolutionary trees (Nidoran, for example, and the later Mr Mime/Jynx and Miltank/Taurus).
What I find interesting is that, whilst the male Nidoran is larger than the female, the female starts off with far more offensive moves. I wonder what that says about the Japanese cultural attitude towards the female gender as a philosophical concept?
