Every CUT Sex Difference in Pokemon Explained! | Gnoggin

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl gave a lot more Pokemon differences in sexual dimorphism. But the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl BETA had EVEN MORE! So let's go over every CUT change, and explain why these Pokemon have sex differences. AKA: Sexual Dimorphism in Pokemon.

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

[@cintronproductions9430]

Fun Fact: As Lockstin mentioned, male Bidoof are different from the females because their tails seem to have two extra "poofs". Thing is, in real life, male rodents are known to have rather large testicles. So, we're actually looking at Bidoof's nards...

With snakes, the body leading up to the tail is thicker, then right after the cloaca there's immediate tapering. With males, as you stated, the tails (following the cloaca) are longer and have a less dramatic taper

I would assume the horns on the male would be larger, curled to be used as weapons or overall more masculine tbh But charizard does seem to be a species where both genders fight quite a bit, so it makes sense they'd have the same horns

it almost feels like they were trying to make gender differences for every pokemon, maybe they realized that it was a bad idea and scrapped it.

As much as I dislike spiders, and therefore spider Pokémon. I'd LOVE to see a new spider mon in Gen. 9 where the female is huge (has less speed but more attack, defense and special defense, and more health) and a smaller "daddy long legs" version of the male (which would be very quick but has reduced defenses and attack) making the male more of a support/set up type.

[@Ambipie]

Maybe Mareeps line had bigger bulbs on the females in order to lead their babies home at night.

[@ZekeAxel]

6:34 Gaijin Goomba actually did a video on one-horned dragons. Apparently there's an ancient Chinese bestiary that said female dragons have a singular horn while males have two. So it's mythology based.

[@fixielle]

Yeah, your girlfriend is kinda crazy. (I know you meant gamefreak)

[@thepsyshyster8243]

To my knowledge, what happened is that someone hacked into Game Freak's servers a couple of years ago and found sprites and source code for the first 6? generations of Pokemon. The hacker was arrested, but managed to send the files they collected to others. The leaks trickling out ever since have been from that leak. At least, this is the story I've heard circulating for the past year.

[@CommanderWiggins]

The Diamond and Pearl prototypes didn't actually leak, just the sprites. Happened a few months ago. The full prototypes will very likely surface someday, because we know that other people have the Pearl prototype.

[@CommanderWiggins]

@@thepsyshyster8243 Correct. We know who the person was, they were an active member in some Pokemon communities. I won't say their pseudonym or real name here, but if you do some digging it can be figured out. They were a cybersecurity researcher that hacked into both Microsoft and Nintendo's servers. Before they were arrested, they and their friend shared the Spaceworld 1997 ROMs, that's how those came to be. (Their friend is the reason why we know most of these things, along with some legal documents.) The person was charged for their hacking and theft, and received 2 years of probation which included no internet access. (They received a light sentence because they have autism and face blindness, so going to prison would have been very dangerous.) So that is the story behind all these Pokemon leaks we've seen.

[@pokemon05100]

[@Marcel2278]

The problem is asset budget. Pokemon is an exponentially growing game world, it will always add more and more pokemon so if 1 pokemon has 2 textures or 2 models or 2 sprites, then that pokemon takes up double the space in all the games. It can mean the difference of not getting a new pokemon just because they wanted to include 1 fan favorite (and vise versa). It sucks but ye...

Lanturn’s family needs this the most. In real life, only the female anglerfish have escas (those lures). The males just become nubs that fuse into the female and are only used for reproduction. So, I guess for males, their bulbs can be smaller. And their bodies. And everything.

[@fizzyinksoda2315]

Nowadays, female eevees have a heart tail pattern. Cute. Maybe sometime in the future a subtle change for the female eevee evolutions could subtly reference to different cultures or something else. Now I just pictured female umbreon having a marking that kinda look like a crescent moon. #sailormoonumbreon Female Flareon would probably gain a little adorable anime blush, as if it saw it's crush during a battle.

[@Wandergirl108]

Actually, I think the female Flygon looks quite nice. Cute, but not TOO cute, just cute enough while still being a dragonfly dragon thing. That's just me, though. You know, I honestly LOVED all the sexual dimorphism in gen 4, it's one of the many reasons I felt like gen 4 was when Pokemon peaked and they should have ended it there. The underground was amazing, the contests were perfect, adding new evos and prevos to old Pokemon was pure delight (I mean, gen 4 gave us Bonsly, the purest embodiment of cuteness)…more than anything else, the world felt so ALIVE, and I'm sure the many instances of sexual dimorphism added to that a great deal as well. Everything since then has felt, to me, like milking. I used to LOVE going through a full Pokedex and seeing what Pokemon had different male and female forms and playing spot-the-difference, and it still makes me happy; I'm sad that they don't do it that way anymore. But it is a lot of work, I will concede that point…and I mean it's not like they make enough money to hire a few dozen more people to cover that extra work and still make a profit or anything… >.>

[@JH-jk3nm]

you should play hgss if you haven’t. if you have two DSs and a dppt game card too you can hand craft a perfect pokemon experience, basically being able to manually choose your team with eggs from the start. i do that more for diamond and pearl because i love the pokemon around the starting area in soul silver.... chikorita, mareep, furret, togepi

[@deinonykus1794]

The one-horned female charizard is probably a reference to the early design of the whole Pokémon, which was inspired by pterosaurs

[@Joe-ss8mv]

Ah yes, two bidoof breeding so their trainer gets a shiny HM Slave

[@artimist0315]

Did you know the original design of charizard was supposed to get only one horn. And if you look at the first Dugimori art works, the second horn never apear. This is because charizard is mainly inspired by pterosaur which has the same dimorphism. Just before the release of the game, they ask sugimori to put a second horn on charizard ( for obvious reasons ) so he did it like charizard has a second horn while it has not. Finally that got removed when the official artworks changes.
