Talk:R.O.B.

Category:Controllers

He is a controller, but the category itself is not required, as he can't be used for smash, like every other page in the category. Is this required?Qwerty the lord 01:18, 10 July 2014 (EDT)

Gender

Does ROB even have a gender, being a robot and all? 👾Harro👾 (talk) 05:28, 28 July 2014 (EDT)

The DOJO and his trophy in-game use masculine pronouns. Miles (talk) 05:30, 28 July 2014 (EDT)

My mistake. Sorry. Harro (talk) 08:26, 2 August 2014 (EDT)

Gender

Is the pronouns thing really a good reason to claim that he's male? Lucario's been called male but we go with genderless. Heck, Pikachu has evidence of being male, but we still go with genderless. Robots don't have genders. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 13:42, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

Unless you're prepared to claim that Mega Man is also genderless, the robot claim is silly argument to make. Pokemon are referred to by gender-neutral pronouns in Smash stuff consistently with only one exception, as opposed to R.O.B. who frequently gets male pronouns. Miles (talk) 13:53, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

It was my understanding that Mega Man is more of a cyborg, a human who was given robot parts. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 13:55, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

The original Mega Man (the one this article is about) is not a cyborg, just a robot who strongly resembles a human. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 14:03, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

Hmmm okay. Still, technically Mega Man is genderless, but is designed as if he were male. It's impossible to give a robot a gender. There's this certain, uh, requirement that doesn't work very well with metal. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 14:06, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

Gender =/= biological sex, dude. Miles (talk) 14:08, 24 May 2015 (EDT)
