Now only if we can get the female companions to catch something that's not cute or feminine again...

People put way too much emphasis on Pokédex Entrees.

The only Pokémon in the series thus far that have really used Pokedex entrees is Flygon and the Sobble/Inteleon

And even then it's not 100% accurate in the latter's case. No where does it say in any of Inteleon's entrees that it retains the Invisibility or is immune to Sobble's Tears

Ok for 1) How astronomically ignorant or dumb can you be to say that merch sales etc will decrease over Ash getting some feminine or girly mon.
And for 2), Pokedex entries are literally 99% of the time a bunch of garbage baloney.

I assume Inteleon's invisibility comes from its reference sheet, but until Game Freak actually releases those to the public like last Gen, we'll never know.

At this point Satoshi is more of a dragon master than Iris

That's true.

Fire-breathing western dragon? Check even if Charizard haven't mega evolved into Xzard
Water dragon? Check even if the abomination has yet to have an official battle.
Ground shark dragon who is a mainstay on competitive? Check
The original pseudo? Check
Tanky dragon? Check even if Goodra is somewhere else
A Wyvern-esque dragon? Kind of check even if Noivern's original japanese name doesn't make a wyvern connection.

Guess we know who will be the new Opelucid City gym leader :p


That's... Actually a very good reading. Can't believe I've missed it.

People aren't going to start burning their merch and boycott the show because he got a girly Pokemon. This is silly.

Specially when he's gotten female pokémon before (Bayleaf, Aipom, Unfezant and Snivy)

Only issue being two of them aka the Kalos Dragons were as useless as Sakura.

No, it wouldn’t, and clearly you don’t know how society works if you seriously think that Ash getting a single feminine Pokémon is going to some make the series for girls and/or make a lot of boys leave.

If anything it would actually increase merch sales and get more people interested in the anime.
It's because most boys are conditioned (usually by their fathers) to hate everything feminine. It's more acceptable for girls to like boy stuff than it is for boys to like girls stuff. There's an entire trope about this problem called "Girl Show Ghetto". It would increase merch sales among girls, but that would come at the cost of decreased merch sales among boys.

Ash has caught feminine and female Pokemon before in the past. Just saying

He also has an interdimensional space hornet to add to his collection of Dragons

Not something that's overly pink, cutesy, and girly. Ash also never caught a Pokemon that is only capable of being female.

You gotta be a special kind thick in the head if you actually think giving ash a feminine pokemon would suddenly make every boy go and burn everything related to the anime. Even kids aren’t that dumb. Power rangers didn’t see no toy sales because a pink ranger exist.

Having one feminine pokemon is not the same having ash switch to focus on fairy types and start doing showcases. At worst, and this is being very generous, boys just wouldn’t care about said feminine pokemon and just won’t buy merch of that particular pokemon. It doesn’t suddenly sour everything else.

Thinking it would cause some uproar is completely idiotic.

Pretty much this. Although the idea of Ash getting a hatterene line would be a pleasant change even if it's just one episode but let's leave it to Fanfiction.net writers to do that.

I hate responding to Riley’s posts but people have to realize that kids don’t care about if something is feminine or masculine; if it’s cool, they’ll like it. There are just as many boys who love the Powerpuff Girls as there are girls who like the TMNT. Bias over what gender a product is comes from outside sources like parents, older siblings, and friends.

Except that it would basically turn Pokemon into a series just for girls, as that's who would stick around, as a lot of boys would leave because Ash wouldn't be appealing to them anymore. Unfortunately, that's how society is.
No it wouldn’t, Gardevoir is a very popular Pokémon and I am sure a lot of boys that play the games probably have one on the their team because otherwise it wouldn’t be as popular. Ash getting a Pokémon like Gardevoir would increase more interest in the show, just like hopefully Chloe gets something that isn’t cute and that would increase interest as well.

Except a lot of it will come from the girls. It would make Pokemon more popular with girls, at the cost of being less popular with boys.

Bruh Journeys viewership is already primarily Female

Between the Ash/Gou Fujo pandering, Gou's Design in General, Leon and Raihan Fan-service, Koharu and her Girly Adventures, and Sobble in general
I'd say Journeys is practically aiming for a Larger Female Audience.

Plus even if Ash DOES get a Girly Pokémon, it's not even like we'll get to see very often looking at how the rest of Ash's Team is being treated this far
