Probably not.
I really hope not.
>>26446143
Better not. But it's only a matter of time before the freaks pressure Nintendo enough.

Probably only for dialogue purposes that saves them from having changed scripts based on the player's gender.

Why else do you think the character select at the beginning looks like this? It means they skip over the "Are you a boy or a girl?" dialog :^)
>>26446177
"What do you look like?" and they're done. Brilliant, actually. That's fine.
>>26446165
While I can actually see them doing this, from a programming perspective, adding alternating text is hilariously easy, and it'll be implemented anyway for things like names. It isn't really a laziness issue when it could be added in literally 5 minutes.
I doubt that would happen, though I wouldn't put it past them to remove gender locking on clothing items.
>>26446177
>>26446193

I love how easy this is to do. Really saves them from the kind of shit other games go through thanks to tumblr.

How dare a videogame push its monotheistic choices of appearance and vanity on my character, reducing the myriad array of options we have in real life to 8 caricatures!
If Game Freak truly wanted to be tolerant the question would instead be "How does the world percieve you?" and you should be able to customise the appearance of your character without any presets! Its 2016 they can't keep getting away with this!
I wish, but problably not gonna happen. Maybe at least the clothing won't be restricted by gender.
>>26446246
>monotheistic
I chuckled.
>>26446246
This, exept "how do you feel yourself to be like" instead of "how does the world percieve you". That would mean equality for everyone, even us objectkins.
honestly id love that. i dont get why people are complaining about pronouns. if you don't use them just stop whining and let the people who do have fun

Why not? They already pushed on for race mixing. Denying the heteronormative and gender existence whatsoever is logical next step.
I mean we already had literal Team JIDF in Gen VI xD. But France is at least as much cucked as Jermoney or Sweden (YES) so it's to be expected, they had literal Hungarian Jewish president.
>>26447106
At least they didn't have a nigger president
>>26447106
If there's one thing Japan does right is treating unconventional gender shenanigans as nothing but a pornographic fetish (e.g. futa). I highly doubt they would put tumblr shit into kids' games.
>>26447106
SJWshit aside introduction of hermaphroditic/androgyny (like what Go0odra SHOULD'VE BEEN) and acknowledging existence of the genderless Pokimanz would be a good step forward.
Why not make it possible to play as literal Adam Kadmon/Hermaphroditus for those who like neither the male nor female choice? Bois and their boipuccies are getting more and more sissified each gen, with them being older than 16 it soon will not be a taboo topic anymore to create all that CP porn with them.
In mythology beings like angels possess no gender, playin as such a human character wold've been bretty kewl.
Fucking Tumblr is supposed to be a vocal minority, get the fuck out of my games.

NO.
>>26446143
I doubt it, but even if they did I don't give a shit.
The regular male/female options will still be there and it doesn't concern my playthrough what someone else will choose. For all I care they can even go full retard and try to avoid any mention of gender. As long as npc just call me the kid or whatever and not some never heard of pronoun tumblr came up with that I have to google, I couldn't care less.
Dumblr and friends have long since latched themselves onto this franchise and that won't change regardless of if they pander to them or not and as long as pandering to them doesn't suddenly become the core concept of the games, which I doubt would actually happen outside of /pol/ tinfoil doomsday theories, all this panicking seems overblown.
Makes me wonder if people were whining this much before crystal happened too? Although everyone was probably too young back then to give a real shit.
>>26447208
This is the real problem,

Trannies are the biggest meme of the human race as of right now.

>>26447292
You're right, trans people do exist. There's males that want to be female, and females that want to be male. That's still only two genders. Your demisemiplatohomopatriamisogymochalattegender doesn't exist, your retarded xe/xes/xeself pronouns can go/fuck/themselves, and you're not fucking trans, no matter how much you cry about it.

>bitching about gender-neutral pronouns when Japanese is a pretty gender-neutral language
>>26446143
As someone who would like to one day not have a gender/switch between genders in organic avatars, I think the idea of "gender neutral pronouns" for a Pokemon game is kind of stupid.
For that matter, adding in all these retarded random genders is... well, retarded. You're either a boy, girl, or don't care to be either. None of this person-specific gender shit where people claim to be a cloud.
I'm for trans rights. I'm for people being called whichever gender they want to be called... As long as it falls in the realm of reality. Male, Female, neutral/intersex/none/both. However...
Think about how many times other characters call you "he" or "she" or "her" or "him". This is hardly ever, if ever at all. At best, I could see "Red if the Champion now. His Pokemon are strong" to "Red is the champion now. Their Pokemon are strong", which if I remember correctly, Pokemon games do already pretty often.
All you twats who think you need to have a penis to be a boy and a vagina to be a girl can go to hell though. If nothing else, it's not that big a deal to just let people be who they want to be.
>>26447950
>All you twats who think you need to have a penis to be a boy and a vagina to be a girl can go to hell though.
A penis and vagina are defining characteristics of male/female though. I mean holy shit you really hate people for being objective?
I don't hate trans people, I just think they have a legitimate mental disorder and should receive help/therapy and not be enabled.
Okay, social commentators of /vp/, how do you feel about intersex people? Or people with extra sex chromosomes? Are they boys or are they girls?

>skimming articles on other cultures and ripping it out of context to back up white kids playing gender dress up on the internet
I am a literal feminine fuckboi IRL and I always play male, but I would love to play the female character and still being called "he" by the NPCs
Not because of some social justice bullshit but because I would find it fun and I would be able to relate to my character
But besides that I don't really care at all, wouldn't be happy or angry or whatever if tumblrinas win. It doesn't affect my gameplay.
>>26448004
I don't care.They can be whatever they want to be, their choice in gender or whatever won't have any impact on my personal life or on that of most other people in any negative way, so who cares? I never really got why people get so hung up on these things.
>>26448312
For all intents and purposes the male character already looks like a feminine fuckboi this time. I can't stop thinking of him as Makoto at least.
Would be simple enough to have the answers be
>Boy
>Girl
>...
And then never bring it up again. It's a small and insignificant change that will be blown up as the most progressive thing possible (and 4chan will hate it because of m-muh sjws)

That's fine. When in the realm of possibility.
Heck, I'm fine with guys who think they're "neither" getting a penectomy so they really aren't either.
But when people start spouting shit like "demimale" or "My gender is Pluto" then we have several problems. I don't think anyone actually wants an attack helicopter hanging between their legs, do they?
>>26448408
I never had any long personal experience with trans people so I can't vouch for the amount of whining they do in real life. I saw one or two at my part-time job, but neither of us brought up the gender thing and we had completely normal conversations otherwise.
If we're talking about what whiny bitches say on the media though, then it's the ultimate form of I don't give a shit. Only the worst attention whores end up as the "spokesperson", most people I know from other favorite sjw target minorities find them just as retarded as I do, especially when they blow silly things out of proportion.
No. Because it is literally a non-issue.
>>26448004
Sucks to be them. That's about all i can/will acknowledge. But they are too extreme a minority to legitimately care about.
>>26448427
>>26448445

Let them live the life they want to live, but also feel free to be a dick to them. I mean, the gender barrier quite clearly needs to exist. Without it, you end up with abortions like the MLP fandom.
>>26448861
Honestly that's less gender issues and more furries.
>>26448888
Quads confirm that the MLP fandom has nothing to do with gender barriers and everything to do with furries.
>>26448861
Wait, what have bronies to do with this? Because they watch a little girls cartoon? Anon, let's be real here, they watch it because they want to fuck cartoon horses even if they desperately try to deny it.
>>26446143
Oh fuck off
>>26446143
What the fuck is this?
Are we getting raided by /pol/ again?
>>26448424
I'm not really in support of people making a big deal over it, but it's sort of whatever if they include it. Besides, it sort of ruins it for those who want pronouns? I will choose male and will like to be referred to AS male thanks. Unless they include m/f along with it I don't think it's fair on us cis people.
Besides that, hormonal imbalance can't change the fact that a there are massive differences between the two types of human reproductive systems. Sorry but that determines gender, not your clothes, not your personality, not how you think or feel. That is literally the single defining thing that makes you a gender. That being said, yes that means people should stop assuming gender - but it's there for the use of natural selection and reproduction. Believe it or not, it is necessary to know what a potential mate has, regardless of how someone feels about being looked at as an object for sex.
So in saying that, how would you feel if you were trans to male and were asked what gender you actually were? It's sort of relevant. The trans would be upset "Im not here for you" but if they were to look for a partner, it's supposedly completely ok for the trans male to hit on whatever their preference is and making assumptions about what their potential mate's gender is.
/rant
tl;dr I hate how trans are hypocrits. cis people should be allowed their gender roles too thx.
>>26448907
Everyone says this, and let's be real here, with most of them that's defiintely the case.
But honestly? I'm more disgusted by the ones who like it for any non-sexual, unironic reason. I can at least understand the horsefuckers existing just for the sake of sick-fuckery. But the "innocent" ponyfags are far worse, and number of them will defend it for the sake of "muh gender equality, i'm not gay for liking pink ponies, etc.".
>>26446143

YEAH RIGHT!
>>26447161
Are you a Czechfag? Cuz I am.
>>26449478
Actually no, the definition of gender it's pretty vague and subjective in a way. What you are talking about is sexuality.
>>26449491
It physically hurts me to type this out, because I'm technically defending even the vilest bronies with this, but getting riled up because some guys unironically like a shitty kids show, that happens to be primarily made for little girls, is retarded. It's hypocrisy at its finest too, when other people use simmliar arguments because we're man-children who still play a kids game filled with something called fairy type and everyone going gooey eyed over a spherical owl.
Just let them watch what they want and let them have their retarded excuses, ultimately it really shouldn't matter to you, as long if you don't have stop liking what I don't like autism.
>>26446143

>It's hypocrisy at its finest too, when other people use simmliar arguments because we're man-children who still play a kids game filled with something called fairy type and everyone going gooey eyed over a spherical owl.
Two things: #1, there is nothing wrong with being a hypocrite on the internet, 95% of people are. #2, Pokemon, as opposed to MLP, has reached Ninja Turtles-tier. It might be "for kids" but its become a big enough staple among video games/anime/"nerd culture" (and yes, i cringed a bit typing that last one out but it's really the only way i could've put it) that it's perfectly acceptable to like. MLP will never reach that level.
>>26449478
I hope this bait
>>26449678
Nah, he's talking about sex.
Gender- Self identify in regards to society's gender-social roles and expections.
Sex- The body parts you're born with
Sexuality: Who you're attracted to.

>>26446143
>>26449773
If that's okay for you, fine, but don't try to make it look like it's not retarded.
It's typical human behavior, but it doesn't make it any less pathetic if another group of "losers" trys to put themselves above the even worse perceived ones to feel a little bit better about "normal" people ridiculing them.
You don't have to like them or their tastes, you can ridicule them too for all I care, but wishing for classic gender barriers to come back so that it keeps people from watching their kiddie cartoon is the same oppressive thought police shit people bemoan about sjw.
As long as bronies don't come into my house and litter my bed with a ton of pony plushes I don't give a single shit about them. They can watch pink little ponies doing friendship things for the rest of their lives if that is what they want. Honestly, their autism can't be all that much worse than what I have seen on here already anyway.
>>26447106
If I can set my gender as Stargate I would be more than happy.
What I care more about is being able to wear anything as either the boy or girl. I don't want the girl to be all dresses and girly stuff, or the boy to be all cool manly stuff. It's your character in the game, remember, it's not *ACTUALLY* you.

>>26446143
What is the point of "gender neutral" stuff? Even if you actually want to be a cute girl, why not just play as the cute girl, instead of insisting "gender neutral" options be added?
I don't understand why there is such upset about these things. Most of the time I just choose the protag that looks best, not the one which "expresses my gender identity" or whatever. At least I hope if they do this that they let you write your own words for pronouns. Resulting in another "my grandson is DICKS" situation.
