:Mewtwo, I'm particularly opposed to. Official sources outright call Mewtwo genderless. There's more to it than "all legendaries are genderless so they can't breed", Mewtwo wouldn't have a gender for it is man-made. I don't frankly give a damn if ''Smash'' players call it male, Mewtwo ''is'' genderless, which we should respect.

::Yeah, I'd want to call Mewtwo an 'it'. Also—Brawl came out after gender differences in Pokemon were introduced, should we consider Pikachu a confirmed male? For the rest of the Pokemon, all we have is voices, Pokemon gender ratios, and costumes . . . I don't think anybody would contest calling Squirtle, Charizard, Lucario, and Pichu 'he', but Ivysaur is more debatable, though the only evidence for it being female is its Japanese voice. Jigglypuff is quite commonly accepted as a female, plus her inherently feminine costumes, plus Jigglypuff's gender ratio itself. But the only ones we have solid evidence on are Mewtwo and (I believe) Pikachu. — [[User:Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon|Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon]] ([[User talk:Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon|talk]]) [[File:Jigglypuff_the_Magic_Dragon_sig.png]] 22:00, 22 November 2013 (EST) | |||
I think we should refer to the Pokémon by its name as much as possible without using a pronoun.

:The problem is, that'd be ridiculously cumbersome in general. — [[User:Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon|Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon]] ([[User talk:Jigglypuff the Magic Dragon|talk]]) [[File:Jigglypuff_the_Magic_Dragon_sig.png]] 22:00, 22 November 2013 (EST) | |||
