Her Miltank is iconic, but half of her team is a Fairy Pokemon. And her gym is designed after that Fairy-type.

>>468851That is called an encounter ratio. It is the likelihood for the
player to encounter a specific kind of pokemon.
In X and Y, your first encounter is 100% a pidgey. That does not mean that all the pokemon in that route are pidgeys.

because it's girly" it's just that boys on average prefer the giant alligator or angry fire-badger over the pretty flower. Same way I as a little girl didn't like machamp because it's just an ugly muscle dude in briefs, didn't mean my opinion was rooted in hating males.
No. 468862
>>468858ok yeah thats fair, I'm kinda on the fence on whether this counts as explicitly misogyny.
also i remember having a similar experience to your machamp one when I was a kid, I had PMD Blue Rescue Team and my player character was a Squirtle and my partner was a Chicorita, and when I finally got to evolve them in the postgame, I was so fucking angry when Squirtle turned into the hulking monster creature that Blastoise is while Chikorita just became more regal and cool. they really made my dear Squirtle experience twink death.

>>468851>>468860The 87.5% male gender ratio only exists to keep certain pokemon rare because they are meant to be more special. GF didn't want the players to just breed more of those pokemon.
>because your first encounter is hardlocked to Pidgey and then it changes after that.Do all the other pokemon temporarily become pidgeys in the meantime? No, the game itself forces
you specifically to encounter a pidgey, just like how game forces you to encounter male Eevees 87.5% of the time.

No. 468907
>>468873>>468870I get where you're both coming from, but I think the gender ratio implies there are sometimes more of one gender than the other. You're encountering more male Chikorita because there are more male Chikorita. Which I think is what
>>468870 is saying. Pokemon with 100% gender ratio like Gallade is implying there aren't females of that species. Of course this affects the encounter rate as well. Also
>While Terapagos as a species has a 50-50 gender ratio, the only Terapagos encounter is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.This implies there are equal amounts of male and female Terapagos, but you can only encounter the male one currently. This might not be true in the pokemon universe, but it is in the games imo.
No. 468913
>>468909Yes, but that is only relevant to the player.
In X and Y, the starters have a 87.5% chance being male when picked by the player. But those same starters have a 100% being female when picked by Shauna.
No. 468928
>>468907>I get where you're both coming from, but I think the gender ratio implies there are sometimes more of one gender than the other. nta but I agree and disagree. For wild pokemon, yes. For starters? No. Starters are NOT found in the wild and the professors can easily choose and limit the number of male/female pokemon presented to trainers. The fact that they're not in the wild and that they're the entire regions starters given out to all new trainers implies they're actually bred by human somewhere. Females are needed for breeding and for raising the babies, so handing out fewer of them makes sense. There's no reason to think every starter species just happens to have that gender ratio, it's more likely it's a mix of ratios but the males are favored to be given out to new trainers. Remember that gender ratio is not a stat or "fact" that appears in the dex (unless it's in the trivia text), it's just the ratio for which they appear in the game. Another thing to note is that "genderless" pokemon aren't actually genderless, they're called "gender unknown". Meaning humans just aren't really sure how to figure out what they are or how they breed. So gender ratios aren't set in stone.
Plot relevant pokemon like terapagos are obviously individual characters on their own so their gender ratio is mostly irrelevant.

>Due to Shininess being determined by DVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by DVs in Generation II:>It is impossible to have a Shiny Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female that is female in those games, as the highest Attack DV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack DV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiny_Pok%C3%A9mon#Quirks

I'm new to "seriously" wanting to collect TCG cards of my favorite pokemon. I'd like to collect all cards on which those favorite pokemon are featured, even if it's in the background of another pokemon or on a trainer card. For example if I wanted all natu cards I'd get this bouffalant card because they're on it. But I can't seem to find any database that lists anything like that. Does anyone happen to know of something like that?
No. 469414
>>469404You have yo scroll thru unrelated Natu pics but this page seems to be a good resource. It might not have all cards, but on a quick view I saw a few that fit your criteria, so it's a good start.
Replace the "Natu" on the url for your chosen pokemon, this is just the spanish pokemon wiki's category/image list link, the one you get when clicking "See all [X] images" under a pokemon's main data sheet.
Bulbapedia has the same thing, but it doesn't list the cards if the pokemon appears on the background (or at least it didn't for the ones I checked some time ago)

No. 469424
>>469415in the code of Gen 1, there's an unused "Bird" type. Probably got changed to Flying because that's more in line with the others, cause like, water types are water types and not fish types right. But then we also have the bug type. hmm.
Having it be the air type would have worked i guess but might have been slightly confusing too.

>>469523It's a direct reply to
>>469504 what are you even on about? I agree with
>>469510 that a pokemons type can be seen as an inherent energy or essence (why else would they have types?) so their signature attacks of course have the same type because the pokemon is using its own energy to make the attack. And a water living creature like a crab or octopus having the water type energy because they live in/near water is just obvious. Saying "crabhammer is only water type because they're based on crabs" as if that is somehow NOT super obvious and logical is confusing. Where is the disconnect? Out of all the types to be confused about water seems the most obvious and straightforward.
Also just for the record the scrote in the video in
>>469457 is a massive troon shill. He made a video on womens perspective on men playing as the female player in pokemon games (because he does that himself). He didn't ask real females, and instead brought in men, including a filthy cat ear wearing troon as the "female/gender expert" who said it's fine if men are turned on by the female characters they play as because "everyone (meaning himself) thinks that too huehuehue". So this scrotes video was essentially debunking "men playing as Hilda to see her ass is sexist and creepy" into "troons are women and they also sexualize Hilda so it's fine for men (like me!) to do it too".

>>469490Electric is a lot of fun to use and I love the electric designs. Also steel, fire, flying, water. I like the idea of ice but not the reality of using ice Pokemon. I'm not a fan of fairy and the way they retroactively made a bunch of Pokemon fairy. The way fairy is strong against dragon feels like a too obvious way to fix the metagame, and the weakness to steel and poison feels random. But I'm nitpicking since dark's weakness to fighting and bug is also pretty random and it's another type that was obviously made to nerf psychic. I guess the theme is fairy types are magical creatures and they're sensitive to modern society. Maybe I just need to try out more fairy types to have them grow on me.
>>469574I used to not really care if men played as female characters in games because it's such a who cares issue, but these days I'm paranoid it's a sign of imminent troonism. Nobody would really care about it if men didn't feel the need to defend their choices to other men to prove they're so macho.
