>>54301258>totally unrelatedlol, it proves there was a vested interest in marketing to women that directly affected design decisions of new pokemon so it's not hard to see how bellossom was part of it. do you really think they were like "let's make more designs that appeal to woman but that philosophy only allowed for pokemon that fit the technical definition of baby pokemon!"
nevermind that along togepi, marill and bellossom were used early on to promote gen 2 and then you have stuff like teddiursa, corsola, jumpluff, sunflora...
yeah no way that giving a skirt, flower hair accessories and rosy cheeks to an evolution line that has virtually nothing to do with feminity could have possibly been part of this marketing attempt, that's ridiculous
