Does anyone find it vaguely sexist that Gamefreak kept 'Red' as the final boss in HGSS irrespective of the gender you assign to your playable character?
It wouldn't be nearly as problematic if FRLG was never created. But FRLG changed the canon so that the legendary trainer who defeated Team Rocket, beat the E4 and became the Champion could have identified as a boy OR a girl. So if you select Lyra in HGSS, presumably you selected Leaf in FRLG, so the final boss you should meet in Mt Silver is actually Leaf. Gamefreak is basically retconning the game's continuity by keeping Red as the fixed final boss.
