If anything, Nintendo had to stop including gay and transexual characters because localization whined too much and just ended up deleting them. Nintendo characters actually had good characterization like

Fire Emblem is probably the best example because it has a significant list of gay and lesbian characters. Ike and Soren were a major plot point of the GCN games, western release erased and toned down dialogue and even inserted romantic implications in dialogue with female NPCs. The artbook also talked of their relationship and said Ike was immune and didn't care for women.
Awakening stood out for being a full het game and even inserting Priam which obviously spawned some controversy implying Ike could have had biological children despite how the GCN games ended. Now Intelligent Systems is trying to erase and make everyone forget they created Priam.
Speaking of Pokemon, there's Attila and Hun from the anime, Matt from the games, Aster implied to be Zinnia's lover throught a lot of subtext. There are many characters that act and look like stereotypical hypermasculine, feminine, "prince"/snobbish and flamboyant gay men. Female characters that act and look like stereotypical hime/oneesan yuri characters. N and Hilbert, as N is a hard to miss Kaworu expy. The transexual NPCs, the gay NPCs from RSE iirc, the lesbians in ORAS. There's probably more I'm forgetting. And of course there are the pairs of characters with close, deep relationships that even Game Freak is happy to tease about
