>>43475795>design-wise primarina seems more fitting to be male given that female characters in japanese and chinese classical theater are played by male actorsSo that's why the pokédex describes it in feminine diminutives, the official canon media failing to show off a single male member of the evolutionary line or indeed Kukui's hard-coded female in the Champion battle in SM, right?
Nah, gender encounter rates are non-canon, there can be male members of the line alright, but this 7:1 split is nothing more than a consideration to restrict breeding more till progression allows.
