Hey, I have a question. I know that Bulbapedia has an old rule that we only confirm gender of anime Pokemon when it's stated verbally, but since this has always been sparking discussions, how about we could add all the cultural implications (like wearing a pink bow, tuxedo, having crush on) as trivia saying it suggest a specific gender but it's not definite so people for whom that enough could draw conclusions for themselves?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 19:46, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

:It's a nice suggestion and I can see what you mean, but I don't think we should go that route personally. It may leave visitors confused and it would be at odds with our general policy (even as trivia), potentially creating a loophole for opponents of the rule to argue with. I think it's best if Bulbapedia sticks to one direction when it comes to gender confirmation policy. <span style="font-family:Arial Black"><span style="color:Red">☼ Blazing</span>[[User talk:Blazingfist|<span style="color:red">Fist ☼</span>]]</span> 20:22, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

::We can't prevent users from watching the anime and leading themselves to this confusion what happens regardless. Also, these seem much more apropriete than genders confirmed in the english dub which have no value but somehow are mentioned anyway?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 20:54, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
