>>57436331Shudo made lugia female as it was his tranny self-insert and the suits had made him SO upset by adding him to the games and turning him male to sell the movie to the core audience of little boys.
The demographic hadn't changed in Gen 4 (still arguably hasn't to this day, judging by reactions here), thus TPC once again pitched the movie at the core audience.
Game Freak as loremasters, canon-setters and creators of Pokémon do what he fuck they want, which is why after years of hints and teases of human/pokémon relations, we find their folk tales are all based off real-world folk tales from Japan and elsewhere in the world featuring human/magical animal relations, Arceus is God (as stated in Gen 4 but ignored by all but the most-attentive players) and contrary to incel-minded manchildren's opinions, is female, having been seen to give birth to Dialga, Palkia and the Pixies to guide her world. It's not your toy, stop getting upset it diverges from your headcanon.
