Hey Cyclone, I would to ask about something. Remember Dawn's Mamoswine? I want to confirm that shes a female. I know why because when she was a Piloswine, her tusks are shorter than a male's. Also, I know Dawn referred to her as it during her first contest, but I want to tell you that it was when she was only a Swinub, and Dawn could not have known until she evolved. That is when Mamoswine gained her tusks. What do you think about this issue? | Hey Cyclone, I would to ask about something. Remember Dawn's Mamoswine? I want to confirm that shes a female.

:While your information compels me to agree with you, this is considered a minor difference and falls under our [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Speculation_policy Speculation Policy], which states: The gender of an individual Pokémon in the anime is confirmed via explicit, verbal confirmation by a character; via the use of Attract or Cute Charm; or from clear visual gender differences." It further states: "Pokémon with very minor gender differences should not be assigned a gender based on visual differences." Therefore, while I can agree based on a visual inspection, there are cases where we still have not been able to confirm gender or where a wrong gender might have been inferred in the past, and as a result, we cannot explicitly confirm. It is also possible that the people working on the anime may not necessarily be aware of the game logic and just drew the tusks as they wanted to draw them. | |||
:If we have missed anything that falls under that policy as a way to confirm gender, feel free to point it out and it can be considered. Good eye, though! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:22, 16 January 2021 (UTC) | |||
