>>50865706I still wonder at the decision to make the Hitmons male only. Nothing about their designs inherently suggests male-ness. If I were a betting man, in the run-up to Gen 2, I would have guessed that the Machamp line would be the one to get the male-only treatment.
My best guess AD to why they didn't? The other Kanto female lines were all one-stage as they were developing Gen 2 (Kangaskhan, Chansey, Jynx).
