>Haha... Instead of relegating the Pokemon Daycare to only being usable after becoming the Champion like in B2W2, we'll continue to rely on archaic traditions that don't apply with our new Starter Design Philosophy in order to prevent players from obtaining multiple Starter Pokemon with only one game, devaluing that Pokemon's Rarity... Even though virtually every Pokemon is worthless due to the breeding mechanic and online interactions.

>You know Piloswine? I designed that Pokémon. I felt like I had to get all 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac together, you know?
Morimoto's in-game avatar says that when shown a pokémon caught in pokémon gold to him in Gen VII, which means Ho-Oh is more likely a rooster, since they did create 11 other zodiac animals between Gen I and II (and is likely where the inspiration for the fire starters came from).

Even though virtually every Non-Facility NPC that has a Primarina has a female one, implying it was meant to be primarily female, it's instead primarily male.
This is because of GameFreak's refusal to let go of the old tradition of making Female Starters rare in order to make it more difficult to breed Starters without finding Ditto (which is also why they usually put the bastard in lategame or even postgame if the Daycare isn't already in postgame like FRLG or B2W2) in order to keep Starters elusive and valuable for trading affairs, even though the existence of Online Interactions have made it pointless, especially the GTS and Wonder Trade.

Also known as a Chinese Phoenix, yeah.
I didn't know they were connected to peacocks, though. Do you have a source for that? Wikipedia says they're usually seen as a feminine counterpart to the masculine dragon, but only male peafowl are colorful.

>>37464378
The fenghuang/phoenix sometimes substitutes for the rooster on the zodiac. That's why Ho-Oh is a Fire type.

A fenghaung is an amalgam of multiple birds. It’s not directly a peacock; common depictions of it give it a peacock tail.

It’s also known as the Chinese phoenix, which isn’t a 1:1 comparison to the western phoenix. So you’re both wrong and both right.

As of Gen 6, they seem to be keen on having each of the starters appeal to a set demographic.
A masculine starter, a feminine starter and a "cool" starter.

I guess, but I wouldn't say that makes Ho-Oh a peacock.

>The Japanese term for Fenghuang is Ho-ou.
Not super relevant but I feel like pointing out that ho-oh is also a valid way to transliterate this. They really phoned it in on that name.

I think male Glaceon shouldn't have that headdress. Just a little tuft of hair like Eevee has and the darker color on the tips of the ears would do fine. I've never used a Glaceon because I hate the way the thing on its head looks but I do like everything else about it and would train one if I could get rid of that blemish.

At least they are magnificently simple, coloured and pretty without shoving frills, accessories and eyelashes in it. And of course it needed to have the infamous "colored" lashes now a lot of girl designs also adorn in recent anime.

A performer seal could have been made (and even a mermaid at that) while it still looking as ambiguous as can be, they only chose to make it effeminate because it's what sells more and catches more the eyes of little girls. It's the mindless offense of "if girls like it, then we should make it as cutesy as it can be".

People never do put much thought behind Primarina's performer git, but when it comes to attention hording, yeah, female singing/dancing pop stars is what catches the most attention in Japan. More than what clowns or whatever else Popplio could have been and it adjusts itself to that. What more could little Popplio want? It even gets to wear the "shell of its former self" as a fucking skirt.

I like the idea of more extreme and realistic gender differences really, not a new concept to the series either. Just that the design the creator went with is too out of place and just plain ugly. Imagine all the nice little girls who might get a female Popplio, only to throw them into the bin when they evolved into Primarina because it turned into leprosy seal.
