I don't find Galarian Ponyta that feminine. It looks like a horse version of Delcatty to me.

The only blatant "feminization" of a Pokemon was with Ninetales, where they made the Alola version shorter, slimmer, rounder with more wild, whispier fur. When you compare the two, normal Ninetales looks male, while Alolan female.

I don't get that sensation from Ponyta.

It literally turned from a horse with a fire mane to a unicorn with rainbow cloud mane, it's way more blatant than Ninetales

Rainbows are not inherently feminine.

Whereas if you compare an adult human male and female, the female tends to be shorter, have rounded shoulders, and lighter skin colour. Hair style tends to be longer as well. Those are all traits that can be applied to the white Alolan Ninetales, versus the regular forme.

These changes aren't as immediately obvious in the preevolution, because the juvenile Vulpix isn't fully grown. So if a Pokemon is going to look "feminine", it's going to be the yet unrevealed Rapidash.

1 bronies are a thing
Which ignores the point of what the actual thing was made for. I don't think Japan or Pokemon/Gamefreak/Nintendo are going to make a "Brony like Pokemon"

so it really doesn't matter what the "supposed to be aimed at" might be.
It actually does since they are deciding what the characters get, and if they feel like My Little Ponyta should be given to a female character because they believe it was designed for girls then they'll give to a female character.

Don't act like there's a level of unknown autonomy at play here like what would be the case in real life (as in My little Pony attracting Bronies). As in "We designed Galarian Ponyta to be for girls" "Well crap, guess what Ash just caught one" "Wait WHAT, how does that happen?" "We don't know we were deciding Ash's team and we came in the morning and there it was Ash petting his new Galarian Ponyta, so we had no choice"

Ash has had a few feminine pokemon
Not really the point, it was still their choice to give Ash those Pokemon. If its their choice to give Galarian Ponyta to a female character, that's the choice they will make.

don't be so insecure as to be limiting because something is girly or whatever.
I'm not being insecure, I'm looking at it from THEIR perspective (or as much as random person can).

If Ash get Galarian Ponyta, then fine, I'll accept it, I'll accept any Pokemon he gets, I just don't think it makes sense, because I feel like they'd have to give a reason as to why Ponyta over any other Pokemon. Same with any big major male characters in the anime (not counting fairy type specialists)

I mean the only thing that I can justify Ash getting Ponyta from THEIR perspective is to give Ash one, after he bonded with a Ponyta/Rapidash in the original series. But comparatively, it would make more sense to give him Ponyta/Rapidash, not so sure on the Galarian form.

That being said I don't know what Galarian Rapidash looks like, so it could be far more neutral in its appearance.

silveon is kinda girly but its one of the best eons we've gotten so far.
And yet no male characters have shown to have Sylveon.

So was there anything new revealed in this weeks episode or is it stuff we already knew?
 

DuquÊ?

Too lazy to pick a pic
Just bigger scenes from the poster. Maybe the dragonite hugging meowth is indeed replacing bewear next series, but no clue of anything until a proper trailer.

I wonder what Ash could get if/when he goes back to Hoenn? I mean there was never a Houndour or Passimian episode much less a Larivtar situation. Those went to Max or May. So there is no easy choice like Johto (Larvitar) or Sinnoh (Lucario).

I suggest Zangoose since Jessie has a Seviper and the two are natural enemies (this assumes if Ash rotates his reserves in when he's in their region TR will do the same), there is also a few wild Pokemon the group helped like Sableye and Spoink (maybe now a Grumpig), and Flygon (he teams up with one to fight Fake Groudon).

That's tricky, because there's a good bunch Houenn pokemon that "fits" Ash: bagon, flygon, zangoose, spheal, numel/camerupt, spoink/grumpig... maybe absol. If I could choose between two without give types he already got from Houenn, it would be between zangoose and sableye too.

The other reason to suggest Flygon is kind of silly, but Ash caught his Hoenn Team in order of type advantage: Electric > Flying > Grass > Water > Fire > Ice > Ground which would then complete the circle and beat Electric, but during the BF it could be argued rotating Phanpy in counted for "Ground".

Dunno, by the time AG was a thing, I'd bet on bagon, since dragons were still fairly powerful and something more neutral to other types.

Absol in no way shape or form fits ash. Since it's a pure dark type and the writers will never give ash a dark type pokemon

haha was this a joke on the long running idea that he will never get a dark type? Because not only did he have a Greninja but scraggy is also just chillen at Oak’s

I'm completely serious. Ash doesn't have a dark type.

Name me one single instance when scraggys or greninjas dark typing has been mentioned. As far as the writer's are concerned they are pure water and fighting.


But that can't do that with a pure dark type so ash will never get one

Ash started getting Dark-types in Best Wishes, but they weren't treated like Dark-types. Scraggy was treated like a pure Fighting-type, Krookodile like a pure Ground-type, and Greninja like a pure Water-type.

The anime has tried to avoid giving Ash the "rare" types like Dark, Psychic, Dragon, Fairy, Steel, Ghost and Poison.
It's not a hard rule anymore and has been broken more recently, but Ash tends to get basic types, while Team Rocket gets those "rare" types. When he does get a rare type, there's usually some drawback that limits its usage. The anime goes to great pains to not portray Ash as overpowered, like he was at the start of Johto.

Humans are tools
I think it was made pretty obvious with nanu that ash wouldn't be using dark type moves even if has a dark type pokemon since its signifies trainer has dark type natue no matter how stupid that logic is since serena's pancham and may's eevee both have dark type moves that means both teainer have dark nature. Even nanu aid that ash was too good to be given a dark type z crystal.

Which is why I think people who expect torracat to evolve and learn darkest lariat are idiots

Just like how you were certain Tapu Koko wasn’t involved with Ash vs Kukui?

Why do you have to insult people to get your point across? Just say you disagree with them. Don’t know why people hoping for an evolution gets some of you so tilted.

Yeah that was my fault for thinking the writers were capable of doing something right

I may not like the idea but it's fine if others want torracat to evolve. It's thinking it will learn darkest lariat that makes then idiot's.

Yikes. It’s Pokèmon: not that serious. You’d think the Koko situation would give you some insight but I guess not.

Why would it? It's a stupid decision on the writers part so I'm basically ignoring it
