I wish the game would use gender pronouns for your Pokemon that have genders
i.e "He hurt himself in his confusion!"

Seriously is it that hard for people to write using gender neutral pronouns?

If a Pokemon has both male/female populations, its imperative to use gender neutral.

>>16244183
Dude are you me?

I did this thread because the fucking Dragonair article pissed me off to no end.

Im not really autistic or shit. That article has so many gender pronouns, it feels like it was written by a spastic retard.

The introduction of the NU article has 11 female pronouns.

Who was the retard that wrote this shit?

I found out, it looks like some bitch that has an odd obsession with Dragonair.

I said bitch cause it has to be a girl who wrote this shit.

Holy shit this fucking bitch loves to write her articles using female pronouns.

The fuck is wrong with her?

She cant be a feminist at her young age, right?

Seriously kids, when you speak of a general population you use gender neutral.

Unless the population is exclusively female like Blissey or Miltank.

I dont understand how could smogon allowed such sloppy writing.

I call Mawile a she because she looks feminine, but the gender is 50/50. And Dragonair kind of looks girly in my opinion.

Side note, Gothitelle actually is the only legitimate article I could find that correctly uses male pronouns, since all Shadow Tag Gothitelle's are male.

Doesn't matter.

When you refer to a general population you use gender neutral.

If you talk about a specific specimen then its okay.

Difference being that people on /vp/ may be referring to their own Braixen or Gardevoir, which may very well have been female.

Smogon articles are referring to the pokemon's entire species.

It's not much of a big deal though, and hardly feminist at all. The way you're making such a big deal over this has me come to believe that you're some crazed transgender activist, yelling about how little girls call Pokémon by a specific gender. It doesn't subtract from any understanding and can be read perfectly fine. Normal people don't care about if a Pokémon is called a girl, if it looks like a girl.

it's not bad grammar, it's intentional to give the articles more flavor if the writer so desires. only if the gender actually fits the pokemon, though
