>>56916974Gens 2 and 3 did it as well - Ho-Oh is a Fenghuang, which is exclusively female and means that (game) Lugia is male, while Sword and Shield state that Kyogre is the 'mother of the seas', meaning she's the female for the Hoenn games.
>>56918008>If box legendaries have implied genders why doesn't the game just give them actual genders?They're technically 'Gender Unknown', as in 'they're seen so rarely that a scientist hasn't had the opportunity to get close enough to start poking around between their legs yet', not that they don't actually have genders. Initially, this was done as a game mechanic to prevent people from breeding them and getting more, but it's since become obsolete; later games have been implying they're different sexes in their Dex entries, and as of Scarlet and Violet's DLCs, they're beginning to test the waters with giving actual sexes to Legendaries, so moving forward, there's a chance we'll be seeing this applied to the cover Legendaries as well.
>>56918286I know you're shitposting, but this actually makes some sense - with reptiles, the females tend to be the bigger and more aggressive sex. There are exceptions, of course, but on the whole it's the females bullying the males around (see: Salazzle). Still, I'm pretty sure Koraidon is intended to be the male while Miraidon is the female.
