[Every Pokemon Is Male?]

Obvi, Pokemon are usually 50/50 male or female. Some have no gender. But, half or more of everybody online I see says "he" when they're talking about a species of Pokemon.

Example, a thread is titled "Is Absol competitive in meta game now?" 

Half or more of the replies: "No, he's-, Yes he's-, Well, he could be-", etc. Sometimes, I don't find a single reply that -doesn't- say "he". I can't remember a time I ever saw "she".

 

Genders aren't important to me. People can call things whatever gender. But, when there's 25+ pages of comments with nothing but "he" instead of "it, he/she, they", etc., I just gotta wonder what it means. I'm so curious. I don't judge people. It's not fair to say "All these people think males are better." Of course, I wonder if some of them think that way. But, I don't assume it unless I know. 

 

So, I guess I just wanna know if anybody else wonders why too. Of course I'd feel sad if many really thought females are more boring, but there's no way to really know whether that's true or not, right? 

 

What do they call Lilligant?... Do they strain harder and harder as they try to type a female pronoun, ground shaking like an earthquake more and more, before finally the poster just...explodes?

 I think they should call it " they" when it comes to pokemon

Technically, the pronoun "he" doesn't always have to be male. If you do not the gender of who or what you are talking about it IS grammatically ok to just say "he, him, etc." as a kind of shortened of version of saying "He or her, his or hers, etc." Since Pokemon DO have genders (the ones we are referring to anyway) then it is more correct to say "he" than "it." for a Pokemon that does not have a gender, then you would say "it" or whatever the hell people say these days.

I could not agree more

I don't really see a problem at all with this, it's really when people start calling Pokemon like Nidoqueen a "he" that we should be worried
