>>50870423Sylveon is a symbol of feminity, hence giving power to females. No pokemon was so blatntly designed for girls and we know that most players are still male. You can see clearly how they started putting a female started more often. Nobody liked chikorita in GSC, so RSE skipped it by making all of them monsters. Yet they didn't stop trying, Serperior is again an attempt, until they hit the spot with inteleon and primarina.
