>>32400512>There are a plethora of species where the difference in appearance between genders is null. In a lot of birds and reptiles, for instance, you can't tell their sex at all without a blood testAnd in over 90% of Pokemon species there isn't a single difference between male and female.
>Making Shiftry's fans smaller or Houndoom's horns smaller is really dumb, because it makes the male look like the 'default' design, and the female a lesser version of that.Male animals are usually larger than females. And in animals were both sexes have horns, the male usually always has the biggest ones. One exception to this is insects, in which females are sometimes larger than the males, and this is already represented by female Scyther/Scizor having bigger abdomens.
Complaining about male being the default is a bit silly considering male animals are usually are the ones with most recognizable appearance, like lions, moose, elephant seals, baboons, peacocks (and most birds really).
>I wish gf would retcon the minor gender differences, including female Pikachu and Raichu.Will literally never happen considering they make a killing selling female Pikachu merch because lots of girls like the heart-shaped tail. I agree that female Raichu's tail is a stupid change though.
