>“Regarding those changes and also the things that didn’t change, Ms Nishida, do you feel like there’s an Eeveelution that really went in a new direction?”
>Nishida: “Of course each Pokemon is influenced by the region and configuration of the game they’re created for, but as far as innovation, I’d say Sylveon. We really wanted to emphasize its Fairy theme.”
>“Sylveon definitely has a unique look. Before deciding on its final design, were there some different designs you considered for Sylveon?”
>Sugimori: “There were several. For example, one of the designs didn’t have ribbons and all that.”
>Nishida: “Oh yeah, that’s right.”
>“As far as its figure, were they all kind of girly like the Sylveon we have now?”
>Nishida: “Yeah, they were all that same style since it’s a Fairy-type.”
>“Speaking of being feminine, Espeon also has that same kind of vibe. It’s very slim and even has hips, which was quite unique for its time.”
>Nishida: “Ahh, you have a point. I guess in trying to make it look mysterious, it ended up looking feminine.”
>Sylveon was designed to look feminine
>Espeon was designed to look mysterious, but ended up looking feminine as well, as acknowledged by Nishida
So then the rest are gender-neutral.
