But on a slightly more serious note, let's go over what the article is asking for.

Sorry, non-binary Pokemon? As in, not male, and not female? ... Are you serious? Hey, remember that joke answer, unown? It's non-binary! It's literally genderless, how can you get any more non than the absence of? You're right article, that is a child's plea, because that child can't comprehend what they're asking about.

There are actually not one, but two trainers that are ambiguously gendered, and have popular theories about them being trans. Lorelei and Will are debatable, even though it's a popular theory, but you can't not mention Bugsy.

His in-game data "mistakenly" refers to him as a girl, and it's kind of his only personality trait that he looks like a girl, to the point of Gold in Adventures asking him out on a date. Now maybe that's not extremely blatant, but why would it be? Do they want a character to spot you on the road and go "Hey there, I'm a Pokemon trainer! By the way, I'm ftm transgender."? I would think the best way to introduce a transgender or non-binary character in Pokemon is to just... not mention it? I thought the point of being trans is that people don't know you're trans, that they automatically assume that you're the gender you identify as. Probably not the thread for this talk.

...Still! Non-binary Pokemon? They can literally be genderless! What more do you want?! A Tauros to cut his dick off? A Jynx to be able to be found as genderless and unbreedable?

There is also Ilima, the Normal Trial Captain in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

I would also add Wallace, bu that is just me.

There is also the unofficial non-binary protagonist in Pokémon Uranium.

Unofficial pokemon games are cheating. Of course the fans are going shove one of those in there somewhere.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

There is also the unofficial non-binary protagonist in Pokémon Uranium.

To be fair, the non-binary option in Uranium isn't really made out to be a big deal at all in-game because it's literally never brought up (I think all it does is just switch the player's pronouns to "they" the very few amount of times their not called by their name), and the sprite they use for it is just some kid with a ponytail in gender neutral clothing.

 

[Wingnut]

Also for some autistic reason the UK exclusively has remakes of the original pre order stylus toppers and they dont ship overseas.

WTF, I still have my OG Palkia stylus after all these years and now only the tea drinkers get the new ones? I'd actually just order one on it's own if I could, but I'm not paying $300 for one from some scalper on ebay.

Yeah its stupid. I still have my old Dialga stylus and the paintjobs on the original ones were not the best with that comically huge stylus but still the shit and far better than most of the "pre order bonuses" that have came out ever since.

Customer service telling some brat that they'll add non-binary Pokémon and gay NPCs is literally empty words. Also, what child is asking for "non-binary Pokémon" and not a Pokémon based off of Fortnite or something?

I always saw Ilima as a generic androgynous anime pretty boy then non-binary but that's just me.

A child seeking approval from a narcissistic parent aggressively pushing a selfish, fantasy-world agenda.

Because god forbid a guy looks fancy.
Or did you take that tumblr post seriously?

Nah; I actually thought hat Wallace was a girl until a lot of years later. I do not even know of wha Tumblr post you are talking.
I am just mentioning official characters that have that non-binary impression, even though I know tha they are both boys.

It's not even the child. The child doesn't know anything.

 

[Local Coyote]

I'm almost positive the Mystic leader in Pokemon Go is some flavor of nonbinary canonically. Either that or there's been so much sperging about it on Twitter I have accepted it as fact.

Blanche is a woman and I can prove it.

Chin shapes are consistent across Pokémon characters. Grown-ass/teenage boys have squarer chins, and all the girls have pointed chins.

Fact check it.

And before anyone points out Fantina, outside of being explicitly stated to be a woman, Masters EX has this sprite:

The Portuguese translations even refer to Blanche as female.

Why the fuck would a woman be named Wallace?

Ask Jessie.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

Ask Jessie.

That’s a gender neutral name though, just like Casey.

 

[UzumakiLeaf]

Anyone looking forward to Pokemon Trading Card game live?

With it being mobile as well it is probably going to be very likely ptw.

 

[The Ultimate Ramotith]

That is jus that. I have lived in Hispanic ountries all my life... half of that spent me being unaware of any boys named 'Jessie'. Here, that is usually/exclusively a girl's name.
On that point, that is also why I never questioned how a girl would be named 'Wallace': the Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire games were literally my first exposure to the name.
