>>53814751Basically, on release the game only had Sylveon. Its Eevee stage had the old tail pattern. The one that first had been used for both genders, but in later mainline games got repurposed for male Eevees only, female ones getting their own one.
Sylveon had a very cute dress. Most players figured that devs didn't care about the tails. Or had used the older version intentionally. Basically, they thought it to be female, extremely adorable and a definite waifu.
But then Espeon got added to the game. With a new, feminine tail.
>Wait, what? I've been gay all along?!>UNPOSSIBLE!!!11The cope gained another level: of course, the devs didn't know about the tails, that's why Espeon and Glaceon, two new Eeveelutions, are both female! That's why Sylveon got that cute dress!
But then Umbreon gets added. Brandishing its masculine tail and rocking a similar cute dress.
How will they ever recover from this? We'll see...
