We all know May wanted to be the star of Pokémon Contests, but did she even have a choice in the first place? Zack Flavin looks at one of Pokémon’s gender stereotypes.

I think May did have a choice in the Hoenn anime… right, djja?
She (and later, Dawn) just wanted to be into contests.
Contrast: Iris.
Anyway, this guy in the comic is just a dirty sexist old man… 🙂
WHY CAN’T I WEAR A DRESS IN POKEMON GAMES?!
That’s the gender issue I want addressed.
They should have PokéDrag in the next games.
I missed you.
Thanks, bae. Missed you, too.
You’re not fahbulous enough yet. Eat some Pokeblocks.
I’m just waiting for contest news to come out for Hoenn. Just to see if there will be any changes, as they were my favorite part of the games.
Johto’s in third in the region poll 😀 I thought I was the only one who loved Johto.
When I first played Ruby I spent about 90% of my time in Contest Halls with my Male Masquerain. We did beauty contest and we were FABULOUS. I plan on doing the same this time around.
This comic actually made me chuckle a bit lol
I want to wear trench coats too D:
To be honest I’ve never really liked contests…..I just thought they were boring and had no real value for me. I always thought they would be cooler if they were like the contests in the anime where you battle too. lol
XY033 was quite the bland episode. It’s main focus was on the bond between Korrina and her Lucario and the need for Team Rocket to step in made it worse. However, as always, the animation is amazing with Lucario’s Berserk Mode appearing even more menacing. All in all, this was an average development episode for Korrina and her Lucario. 5.5/10
May actually did have a choice though.
But I don’t think Dawn did (I never watched 4th or 5th gen anime)
**I just finally got the article lol. It’s not right to force girls into contests, I faced some pretty good girls online before. I say only prohibit girls from driving (real life) because they do some pretty stupid things on the road.
We have news for upcoming episodes: XY036 and XY037!
XY036: Sky Battle?! Hawlucha VS Talonflame
XY037: Reflection Cave! Ash of Mirror World and Ash!
http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_xy/trailer/
XY036 features Ash’s Hawlucha against a Talonflame in a Sky Battle!
XY037 features Mirror Ash from Mirror World. It seems it will have the opposite characteristic of some-sort!
NOTE: An anonymous user on Serebii posted a comment about Mirror World and Mirror Ash two months ago! 😀
hmmmm Hawlucha can’t sky battle in XY……….
That was a creative choice by GameFreak.
I wish he could tho…..lol
Yeah!
Drew, Kenny and Nando would like a word with that man.
I’ve always wanted to be a coordinator more than a trainer… that man is sexist!
XY036 Speculation:
1. Ash will lose
2. Ash will be inspired by the trainer and begin to train his own Fletchling and rebattlee her
3. Fletchling will evolve
4. Hawlucha will get jealous because it can’t evolve
5. Hawlucha VS Fletchinder for comical advertising
You guys!!! They took down the number count that shows how many GTS trades we’re at!! I think we reached 100 Mil!! Fancy Vivillon pattern coming soon! YES YES YES
What happened on Twitter yesterday with Gliscor? I didn’t see the whole conversation, but I am curious. You don’t have to tell if you don’t want to. Also, I will be one step closer to completing my Vivillon set! We need that pokeball one from France though…
we’re cool now cause he apologized, but he figured since we’re multi-partners that I’m supposed to give him Pokemon for free, but it doesn’t work like that lol. So he called me fake because I didn’t want to give him a Lickitung & a FIFAchu, so I had to lay his ass out lol.
And I already have the one from france.
Well im glad you guys worked it out, because you guys seem like an awesome team together with your win streak.
We’re a great team. I believe we’re 13-2. He can just be a little greedy sometimes that’s all lol. But I’m glad we worked it out cause we have followers that look up to us and arguing like that wasn’t setting a good example.
I smell Oracion Seis!
^_^
No FIFAchu 4 us. No FIFAchu 4 him.
LMAO!!
RocketClaucher @ a few others won a Fifachu from me 🙂
TC won like two of my giveaways yesterday lol (unintentional)
They were cloned 😮
I cloned mine for them.
I agree with the old man
*takes cover*
You can’t tell me what to do! I can do contests all I want, I am 10 years old! which means I am INDEPENDENT!
Yeah!! Cause once you’re 10 you’re an adult in Pokemon!!!
Also in the Manga, Ruby (aka Brendan) did contests, Sapphire (aka May) did gym battles
I’ve read the first 4 chapters of that manga and I already don’t like Ruby in it……lol
He just seems like a jerk lol
His backstory makes you feel bad for him though!!!
Maybe I’ll continue reading lol
It is a really good plot, from what I’ve heard. You see, my book store never has the first two volumes, and when I apply shipping online, it’s too much for me… XD I do know what happens though. Love the whole 80 day challenge.
XY037 Speculation:
1. Everyone has a mirror of themselves but with opposite characteristics
2. Mirror Ash is crying
3. Mirror Ash has no Pikachu, some fans think Mirror Pikachu evolved or Mirror Team Rocket achieved their goal
4. Mirror Clemont may be athletic and dumb
5. Mirror Serena is like Jessie
6. Mirror Bonnie may hate Mirror Clemont and she is really awkward
Hmm. Talk of Contests? Mega Milotic confirmed!
Or is it!
NOOOO!!! DON’T RUIN THIS!!! Please! I need this!!!
Okay :<
YES! YES! YES! WE WANT MEGA-MILOTIC!

Virtual Boy U ? 😮
On a side note, could you imagine Pokemon on that? 😀
YEAH VIRTUAL BOY!!!!!!!! XD
Ah…good to be back. I had an extremely busy day yesterday, volunteering at a local food bank. 😀
Good for you! lol
Anyone up for a random battle on showdown or a normal battle in XY?
Please tell me Ash catches that Hawlucha!!
Looks like it
Yes!!
