Get used to it.
>tl;dr just because I buy Game Freak's games, doesn't mean I eat all of their shit
They've always made asinine retarded decisions and this one isn't any different. Even if the starters would get a half and half gender ratio, that would still be more than enough for me. But knowing that there's a 87.5 chance for me to get a goddamn male Popplio and realize that the evolutionary line looks FAR from it is bloody stupid and I'm supposed to believe this is all fine. I tolerated EVERY starter that looked even slightly female regardless of the gender ratio and regardless of which gender they'd get and plenty of wild shit and now, for some asinine reason, the Water type starter conceptually looks like a goddamn 100% female design with a 87.5% male ratio.
All I really have to defend this shit is the Fairy type it has and the usual treatment Fairy types usually get design wise, always looking either cute, feminine, pink or a combination of those and that's it.
Fuck it, I'll just pretend all male Popplios just want to go to the fucking The Voice to get acknowledged by their voice while they parade with the fanciest shit they managed to get plastered in their face because that's how it feels like whenever I feel like bothering picking a male Popplio.
