>>51721577Pokemon as a whole has been designing their male characters (not just the MC trainers, but characters like N, Cilan, Hop,etc) with more and more twink-like, shota, and feminine features with every generation. They pretty much went whole ham with Gou and Ash to appeal to the yaoi shipping crowd. It's not surprising that the male and female features are pretty much interchangeable at this point. I don't know why this is surprising to anyone.
