:::Ok, so maybe Dawn's cheerleader outfits weren't the best example (it was the only major one I could think of), but that wasn't the point. You also can't compare Iris's putting a bow onto Pansage's head to her sticking a heart on Pikachu's tail, because the tail is actually a clear indication of a Pikachu's gender. Pansage don't have any gender differences, so the bow's pretty irrelevant. Unlike Pikachu's tail, they could've easily left Pansage alone like Snivy and Emolga, and still convince everyone else that it's female. After all, Iris could've put the bow on Pansage for no special reason (such as her simply liking it, for example). | :::Ok, so maybe Dawn's cheerleader outfits weren't the best example (it was the only major one I could think of), but that wasn't the point.

:::And while we're discussing Iris, she's the only one who ever referred to Pansage as male, and that was only once. Given how she likes to be a big know-it-all, it could've been just an assumption she made without her actually knowing what Pansage's gender is. Pansage is '''Cilan's''' Pokemon, and he himself never referred to Pansage by a specific gender (likewise, it was Iris who said that Krokorok is Axew's "big brother" and not Ash, but I'll save that for another discussion).

:Also, don't forget that Misty once imagined Pikachu wearing a dress; does that mean he's a girl? Of course not. Ash's female companions tend to have complete disregard for Pokémon genders, especially if it's not their own. Likewise, claiming that Ash's Krokorok is male just because Iris once affectionately referred to it as "Axew's big brother" is '''way''' too much of a stretch. | |||
:Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit too stubborn and/or one-sided, but I thought Bulbapedia has '''very''' strict guidelines when it comes to gender confirmation for Pokémon, so it just seems odd to me that we'd throw out the whole policy in this case. So again, are there any more arugments anyone can make in defense of Pansage being male. If not, I'm changing it to "Unknown" as well as Ash's Krokorok's, because this is ridiculous.
