Please stop changing the 'its' and the like on single gendered Pokemon's articles. The articles need to be gender neutral. Thank you. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 23:35, 14 September 2013 (UTC) | Please stop changing the 'its' and the like on single gendered Pokemon's articles.

:Let me explain the reasoning behind this, because Funktastic did not. While it is true that individuals of single-gendered species are always ''she'' or ''he'', the species itself is still ''it'' because it is not an individual, but an abstract concept of a group. Therefore, unless a sentence is specifically referring to one individual, ''it'' is the pronoun we need to use. Think of it this way: a man is ''he'' and a woman is ''she'', but mankind is ''it''.
