Maybe pokemon are like wild animals. Do gay wild animals even exist?
>Inb4 pics of male lions humping
From what I've seen, animals do engage in same sex behavior but there is no record of any wild animal being exclusively gay like humans are. Only domesticated sheep have anything like that. And exclusive lesbianism is straight up non existent.

I guess you could most animals are bisexual, but are we sure about that? What if it's just an expression of horniness like a dog humping a carpet (that wouldn't make the dog a carpetsexual, would it?)

Remember not to lean too heavily on this, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence for homosexual pair bonding in certain animals, like swans. They typically occur when there is a gender imbalance due to external factors and are primarily there to care for orphaned offspring or to prevent animals from going through life without a pair bond. Beyond that, appealing to "nature" isn't a great avenue of argument for this, as animals will rape or engage in sex with other animals of a different species willingly and often so they're not exactly what we should look to for virtuosity. Focusing on the fact that there is a significant correlation between paraphilia and childhood trauma of a sexual nature and/or a lack of guidance in their formative years is the best argument against those paraphilias as it's undeniable.

There's a BW episode where Oshawott and Meowth flirt with a Purrloin only to freak out when they're told it was actually male and just led them on to take advantage of their confusion.
If you look at comments from back when it aired, everyone thought the final gag where they realize they were flirting with a dude was absolutely hilarious at the time, but just a few years later opinion made a complete 180 and the episode became "oof yikes problematic".

The Pokemon themselves DO have concepts of gender, though. The JP script is full of mons who use particular first-person pronouns and clearly present themselves in ways that align with how Japan understands those pronouns (hence why Gyaru Bulbasaur is a trend), showing the critters have an understanding of gender identity.
Even without that, you learn through human archives that the Chef Dente, the Greedent character, was originally nicknamed Charlotte, and is consistently referred to as "she/her" by her trainer.
>>
>>59091329
Japanese pronouns aren't gendered. They're more like vibes.

Granted, the whole gender/sapience thing was a result of TCPi's mandate due to cultural differences in regards to nature.
>>
>>59091633
Japanese pronouns are as close to gendered as you can get without being absolute. The wiggle room allows for people to confidently use an ill-fitting pronoun for emphasis or personal style, but it's categorized partly by gender to anyone who hears it, to the point that certain ones are listed as "male/female" ones when learning japanese.

The pronouns are listed as male/female when learning Japanese to make it easier for learners to comprehend. Because gendered pronouns are easier for non-Japanese speakers to understand than formality based ones which is what they actually are

There really isn't any debate or arguing about this. Japanese pronouns simply are not gendered. They are formality based. That's the whole reason why girls using boku is such a trope. Hell I was playing a game the other day and a girl called herself ore-sama. And it was because they were crass, not because they acted masculine.
The fact is the pronouns just aren't gendered, at all

The term monster could "scare kids" and create an innate repulsion to the concept from word of mouth. Pokemon is fine to use anyway since it reinforces Brandfaggotry and cleanly expresses what is being referenced.
Pikachu not holding a pokeball is Ashfaggotry because his one won't get in the fucking ball and so they want to avoid that association in advertising that the Pikachu you see in most advertisements probably isn't the one you are emotionally invested in.
TLDR: businessfaggotry.
>>

Actually, its to minimize conflict with Matchbox
>>
>>59100923
Yeah, Pokemon's western marketing is extremely extremely careful about presenting "Pokemon" as anything other than "this random collection of syllables that's just what these creatures are called". You'll never see anything official and western even remotely imply that the "mon" in Pokemon is short for "monster".
This is probably also why the western name ended up being "Pokémon" rather than the more logical "Pockemon" that was very common both in Japan and western reports on the franchise before its official western release - they don't want to give the Monsters In My Pocket guys more legal ammunition than they already have.
>>
>>59100761
what's this about?
>>
>>59096903
But Gallade and Froslass grow to be very much aligned with their gender. The Dawn Stone is called Awekening Stone implying it's awakening their true potential.
Male Gardevoir is more like being trans

Because they attach their emotional and physical well-being, as well as their acceptance in their in-group, to their sexual and "gender" identities. It's not a matter of representing reality, it's a matter of adhering to a set of beliefs.

Digimon do have genders, you fucking idiot. The single frame with bad subs from Tamers that imbeciles like you love to regurgitate as proof of the contrary is taken out of context. First, Ruki's mother insists that Renamon is a girl despite what she just said, to which she gives a knowing smile as she likes the idea of being considered a girl and not an inhuman monster. Second, what Renamon really said was "digimon do not have difference in sex/nature/biology", which was akwardy translated as "by nature, digimon do not have gender" when a more straightforward answer would have been "digimon do not have sex".

Digimon can have either gender or none, as this is merely an aesthetic thing for them that reflects their current state of mind. What they do not have is sex, as they reproduce asexually (and even this isn't always true).

Trans is just the umpteenth iteration of the most ancient (and false) religion of humanity: Gnosticism. They religiously believe that they are a soul trapped in a body, so they try to do magic rituals to attain the proper enlightenment to escape their flesh prisons. This particular religious impulse is so ingrained into the human psyche, that every major religion has a gnostic offshoot. Gnosticism proper is from Christianity, The Jews have Kabbalah, and Communists (Dialectical Materliaists) have Trans.
