>>39293130Looks are deceiving, would you call that doll that acts independently of Sabrina and has thoughts of its own a little girl? No. Its a avatar representing Sabrina's innocence and cheerfulness
Likewise Xerneas is merely representation of the Tree of Lifes consciousness.... but don't worry as the literal embodiment I'm sure Xerneas is fully fleshy and completely fuctional in all ways. After all reproduction is important function of life, she'd be remiss not to include it in her avatar.
>>39293083Yes and no, see those 'male' and 'female' trees, spontaneously can switch sex, the reason for that is an unpollenated tree is a dead tree, it can't reproduce or flower properly so in times it can't get that pollenation it will switch sex to pollenate itself
Regardless I know for fact the Tree of Life is hermaphroditic... look at this picture, it has both male (in the canopy) an female (in the vines) flowers.
