Nintendo responds to kid’s request for nonbinary Pokémon

[Deleted User]

Promotional Item (x2). Neat.

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

it wasn't the kid that sent the letter willingly, but probably the parent that wants this shit shoehorned into every possible thing in existence. kids really don't care

all pokemon are genderless didn't you notice none of them have cock n balls or tits?!

'Am I a joke to you?' -Jynx, probably

Maybe a parent put him up to it???

I'm sorry, I'm a diehard Pokemon fan. Would you like to keep insulting a kid?

Sure I love to insult the kid AKA the father

 

[Stealphie]

should've done this earlier

That makes sense, maybe it's a case of parents enforcing something on their kids, or trying to gain internet fame with this stunt.

But it is interesting how times have changed. When I was a kid the gender stuff was unheard of, I honestly had no idea that this is a thing until recently.

People should be able to get information and learn about gender and sexuality, but I don't think little kids should have to worry about this stuff. I mean judging from how that letter was written that wasn't a teenager, it was a young child.

I agree with this. I can't imagine a kid knowing anything about this or doing this in the first place without a parent influencing them in some way.

Pathetic way of promoting yourself.

In addition there are already Pokemon without gender such as Ditto, Zapdos, Regigigas, Azelf and most of those that fall into the Legendary category.

they would have known that if they actually play the game but I'm sure the father did not

Just because some people choose to not fall in line with the same line of thinking, does not make them transphobes. But here we go again, the LGBTQ community or whatever you want to call it... bashing people who don't bow down. Hypocrite. Isn't that going against your cause?

There’s actual transphobia happening in this thread and calling that out and saying the are wrong isn’t some “hypocrisy.” This isn’t about wanting people to fall in line, it’s about wanting to stop a harmful practice and set of beliefs that kills innocent people every single day. Transphobia is the problems, transphobia harms and kills innocent people, it’s not hypocritical to be against something harmful towards the existence of others.

beliefs that kills innocent people every single day.

There’s a high murder rate of trans people everywhere. In just 2020 alone there was 350 murdered

This doesn’t include the high rate of self-harm, attempted suicides, and suicides that are linked to transphobia as the rate lowers with acceptance

Transphobia is a killer, be it directly as a result of trans people being murdered or as a result of the social damage that causes someone to take their own life. This isn’t just limited to trans people as even cis people who are considered “gender nonconforming” have been dealing with the effects of transphobia.

This story does have a good ending but it’s just an example of how transphobia goes beyond just harming the trans community.

It's sad that there is so much bigotry in this thread. It's like people only live to share their outdated beliefs and that's just really sad. I can't believe these people still exist in such a modern world

Nintendo has already done this...

Porygon and all the legendary Pokémon doesn't have a gender and all honesty most pokemon needs to be labled as a male or a female to breed. Ditto is a non binary Pokémon.

I understand LGTBQ but sometimes the logic has to be there. A pokemon is like an animal and most animals breed with the opposite sex. It's only us humans that put labels on everything.

The sims you can do that but not pokemon,

Also fun fact pokmeon look identical so you really can't tell if it is a male or a female. The only pokemon you could tell was a boy or a girl was Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

 

[Reynardine]

This thread actually makes me curious if nonbinary animals exist too. Is gender a social construct? This is all quite confusing.
