Hello,
So, I am currently working on a paper about inclusive game design focussing on gender inclusivity for my school, and I planned on mentioning the Pokémon Series as an example.
In general I noticed that many fans are very displeased with the use of gender pronouns in scarlet/violets dialogue, which would make the exclusion of the "Are you a boy or a girl?"-question pointless, since the player is going to be gendered according to their selection anyway. So I was wondering if a comparable use of gender pronouns is to be found in the original japanese dialogue, because if not, the japanese versions would be great examples for gender inclusivity, since there is no more gender-locked customization. I've been trying to research on this for HOURS with no concrete answer so far and I hope someone here can help me out with this.
