>>18572826As I said, the "Pochama" name itself is masculine-sounding. It largely comes from "bochama", which is how servants address the sons of their employers (and from "pochapocha", the sound of splashing water), getting across the idea of a young male penguin of nobility. Its English name doesn't really carry the same connotations, but to the Japanese, it's a Pokemon they'd think of as male when they see it.
