 I think maintaining the usage of "it" consistently for Pokemon in the context of Smash is important. Unless we have a confirmed gender anywhere for them (which we don't), we shouldn't use one.

+:I have a more defined opinion now. Pikachu, Squirtle, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Lucario, I don't care, give them genders if that's what we decide on. It's harder to tell Pichu's gender, it probably just doesn't have one, but male is more popular, so I'm indifferent to that too. However, I have a problem with giving pronouns to Ivysaur and Mewtwo.
+:As has been said, there's much debate over Ivysaur's gender. If there's two popular pieces of conflicting speculation, we should stick with what's official, and not give it a gender.
+: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.
