Does anyone find it unusual how female characters are unevenly distributed in Pokemon Legends: Arceus? It's clear that Iridia and Adaman were meant to be the standout characters for the waifufag/fujoshi audience, but what I find unusual is that the Diamond clan immediately introduces two plot-relevant female Wardens, while the two female Wardens in the Pearl clan are much older women who receive less fanfare.
Did Gamefreak assume that anyone who preferred the Pearl clan would be doing so for Iridia and make the deliberate decision to "clear the field" for her? Did they assume that the male-led Diamond clan would be unattractive to male players without having female members to entice them?
