>pokemon is more likely to be male than female
>therefore all pokemon of that species are male and can only be referred to using male pronouns
Do you call your mom dad and say he and him to your girlfriend as well?
Yes.
Mom is an individual, not a species.
Humans as a species are referred to with male pronouns. As far as people calling the entire species Men.

So if I post this image and say "she is literally perfect, I love her", you won't reply to my post with >she and >her?
>>27098431
I would because Monalisa is actually Leonardo Da Vinci.
>>27098431
You sound like you're confusing legit gender discussion and troll posts about >he and >she
>>27098283
That happens because of the patriarchy. I always refer humans as she and her if it's not specified.
>>27098777
I do exactly the same. It sounds better anyway.

What an overly pretentious cunts you are. Why are you so stubborn that you misuse language for the sake of standing out?
Why do people refer to ships and countries as her?

Oh yeah, doesn't Japan have no words for he/she/it, which is why the anime never specifies?
>>27099743
So I should call my individual gendered Pokemon "it" despite him or her having a confirmed and inarguable gender?
>>27099689
Ships are usually named after women, it's a subculture thing with seafarers

You could

Do you call your pets she, he or it?
>>27099755
No, they do.
>>27099755
They do, but people tend to address people by name or generic titles.
彼 (kare) he
彼女 (kanojo) she
それ (sore) it

Because we defend our mother(land), and our mother(ship) holds us in her belly, defending us against the outside storm.
>>27098431
No, because that's a specific individual whose gender is known.
>>27099843
I call my male dog he.
>>27099787
An individual can be referred to as he or she (though it isn't in official media)
A species should always be referred to as it (an exception may be made for 100% gender ratio)
Someone post the style guide that shows that pokemon are to be referred to as "it" and not gender specific singular pronouns
