Genderless pokemon aren't nonbinary pokemon, they're genderless pokemon

By the way, Pokémon XY has a trans trainer, that's a start and something they could build upon

A couple things about this.

First, non-binary and genderless aren't mutually exclusive, the terms don't mean the same thing. More than that, Pokemon that are genderless are probably closer to being sex-less, in that there's no differentiation between them on a genetic/chromosomal level, so even as far as genderless goes they aren't exactly that.

Second, who cares if it's a kid or not. The letter's valid.

And third I do actually partially agree with the trainer thing, though I think it's mostly fine as trainers aren't always classified one way or the other. Wouldn't mind some clear representation though.

It was me who excluded genderless from non-binary, so that was my bad. I'm sorry.

linuxares · Jun 23, 2021

They actually have them already (sort of?) All the legendariers as far as I know are genderless (except two)

https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Gender#Genderless_Pok.C3.A9mon

But hey, why not make a non-binary. Doesn't really matter or not in the universe of Pokemon!

EDIT: Props for the kid using SNAILMAIL! Makes them definitiv to read the letter. It's actually a good way to look for a job.

I thought that Pokémon were an analogy for animals in our actual, natural, world? If so Nintendo/Game Freak already nailed the correct gender diversity ratio... or is there a movement out there deciding that our non-human population isn't diverse enough?

I like Porygon2.

Promotional Item (x2). Neat.

I didn't expect kids to think about stuff like nonbinary gender. Maybe I'm old and times have changed.

noice.

Please leave these kind of things out of a kid game.

not to mention Zoroua was "gender fluid" in the movie (turned into Dawn a few times and some legendaries have a "supposed" Gender too Latios/Latias to name two

I'll take "Shit that never happened for 1000, Alex"

Aw that joke is still kinda sad. RIP Alex.

Anyway if you feel the need to be pandered to in a children's videogame (or any videogame honestly), seek help. It's embarrassing that people want shit shoehorned into games, movies and tv shows just for the sake of it being there. Nothing like a little bit of pointless corporate pandering to really further a cause!

Why? Kids can't be with nonbinaries? Is that what you're trying to say?
