So I propose we end the "pokemon are it" policy, and just go with whatever gender pronoun the Smash community associates with the pokemon. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 00:43, 22 November 2013 (EST) | So I propose we end the "pokemon are it" policy, and just go with whatever gender pronoun the Smash community associates with the pokemon. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 00:43, 22 November 2013 (EST) | ||
:While I myself is more used to using "it" since the gender of Pokemon can vary, I would have to agree with you that having gender pronouns instead makes it easier to understand, since frankly most people even outside the smash community do gender pronouns on Pokemon all the time.

:So which genders would these be? Is Jigglypuff female? Does Mewtwo get a gender, despite it not having one at all? As always, I'm dubious about this kind of change, particularly if it gives Mewtwo a gender.

::Pikachu/Pichu = Male | |||
::Lucario = Male | |||
::Mewtwo = Male (He's generally referred to as male by the community, and I don't consider his genderless status in the games to be significant really). | |||
::Jigglypuff = Female | |||
::Charizard = Male | |||
::Squirtle = Male | |||
::Ivysaur I'm not sure about, as I see a chunk of smashers refer to Ivysaur as female, while another chunk use male pronouns for Ivysaur. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 02:48, 22 November 2013 (EST) | |||
