Tsareena's name is based on "Czarina," the Russian equivalent to a queen. She is also based on the Mangosteen fruit, sometimes called the "Queen of Fruit" due to an unsubstantiated story of Queen Victoria offering a sizeable reward to anyone who could bring it to her. So given that the line is based on a fruit closely linked to queens, it only makes sense that they be exclusively female.

[@croukute3325]

It's more like Czaritsa (Царица )

[@BladeTNT2018]

[@DatMageDoe]

Major misconception: In most cases, honeybees are actually female. Male honeybees are quite different in how they act and behave - they don't attend the nest, but tend to leave and visit other queens and mate with them. They aren't equipped to grab pollen, they don't even have a stinger. But they are fatter and wider than female bees (both worker and queen). This is both an oversight by Game Freak and yourself, but it makes sense as far as Combee's design is based off.

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

yeah, i tought about that too XD as far as i know, both with bees and ants, most of the members are females, and here and there sometimes a male is born, only to "have sex" and than die...

One thing I want to point out about Meowstic is that the females have a much more offensively based level up move set, ironically enough. The males, on the other hand, learn a lot more support/status moves.

[@NimhShambler]

I think it has something to do with Autism. Males are usually (USUALLY, not always) more passive while females with it are, again, usually, more aggressive. And come on. Meow-stic. Meow(auti)stic Just a theory.

[@grumpyface2553]

@@NimhShambler I'm sorry to say, but your reasoning is backwards. Ever since autism has been acknowledged as a disorder, it was diagnosed far more often in boys than in girls. Why? Well, it's not that autism has different symptoms based on sex. The truth is that girls are merely pressured to be quiet and not "act out", whereas young boys aren't really told the same. Without the pressure to act sedately, boys don't tone down their symptoms, thus it's easier to diagnose it in them. Autism can present differently no matter what your gender is! TLDR; I'm not sure what Meowstic's inspiration is, but I'm pretty sure it's not autism. (Trust me, I've got plenty of experience with it.)

[@thespecter6416]

@Lockstin & Gnoggin, I would like to point out about the real reason as to why the female combee has a mark where the male does not. Most farmers that raise bees mark their queen bee so that they can be easily monitored. This is why the female combee is marked in this situation as it's inspired by farmers who mark their queen bees.

[@artur6912]

Let's also not forget that the majority of a hive are worker bees who can change in to queens if necessary (evolve in to Vespiqeen) while the actual males cannot. So in reality it should be REALLY hard to get a combee that CAN'T evolve, not the other way around.

[@Alias_Anybody]

I'm surprised you didn't look into Tsareena more. The reason they are all-female species is because the line is based off the fruit called Mangosteen. Mangosteens have an old nickname, occasionally being referred to as the Queen of Fruit. This also explains its exclusive ability, Queenly Majesty. While it's not really a physical reason, it does make sense from a concept point of view.

[@fishboyliam]

"Honeybee hives are mostly male with a female queen" Hey buddy hey pall that's not right. All workers are female, the only males are drones; their job is to mate with a queen and then die. As such, combees gender ratio is the opposite of real bees; there are way more females than males. Honestly, nintendos whole track record with the Hymenoptera order is weird (the Hymenoptera order contains wasps, sawflies, bees, and ants).

[@Markie7731]

[@plushehchan8643]

THANK YOU

[@jeanku]

[@MauMik]

But they are not able to become Queens because they are technically "sexless" females. So, that could be the reasoning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@mousetrap773]

fishboyliam - it’s so sad to see drones that don’t get to mate try to return to the hive. They may be allowed to stay for a few hours or even a few days before the females decide that they are a worthless drain of resources and kick them out. This usually results in the drone either being killed by the other bees or starving to death outside the hive :(

[@sweetasbloodredjam]

Exept that 'durinng the days of enlightenment' pink was actually considered the more masculine color, because of it's realtion to red 'the color of kings', while blue was pretty much universally associated with femenininty. Hence why a lot of religios iconography depics Maria in browns in blues. The notion of pink as a girly color and blue as a boyish one is only about 120 years old. If gamefreak really wanted to invoke that time period the color pallettes of frillish and jellicent should be swapped.

[@Lolpy.]

Apollo Justice No, this game is meant for little kids. Do you really think that they'd know what the world was like 200 years ago?

[@jeffmatrachisia3827]

Feels Guy gotta agree with this guy here. The target demographic of Pokémon (children) don’t know what colors were associated with which gender hundreds of years ago. But they can easily understand “the boys are blue and the girls are pink”.

Game freak is also known for getting small details wrong, so the fact the blues and pinks weren’t switched but they were still going for that time period isn’t that big of a shock.

[@oh.hi.6345]

Yeah, but didn't they technically did that with the nidos? The basic nido (forgot his name) is purple, which is basically just a dark red mixed with blue, and the female is blue.

[@J0K3RV1RU5]

@@oh.hi.6345 the choice of Purple could also just be in regard that throughout many cultures (mainly western) Purple was never considered "female" and instead just royal, it was only in more recent history that we decided purple belongs to a sex, the color could (stretching here badly) also just be them show casing males be more poisonous due to needing to fight, since the poison type is repped by the color purple in Pokemon.

I'm a little disappointed for your reasoning for the Bounsweet line being all female. Its deeper than them being feminine looking. The mangosteen is sometimes referred to as the "Queen of Fruit" there is also a legend about Queen Victoria loving the fruit so much, that she would give 100 pounds to whoever could bring her fresh mangosteens, lastly, Tareena's name is a combination of Mangosteen and Tsarina, which is a female Russian Monarch. These are the reason why the Bounsweet line is so queenly.

[@drgoo2825]

It goes even further than that, the Purple Mangosteen plant itself does not reproduce sexually as all individuals are female. They reproduce simply through Apomixis(where each fruit grows with a seed inside without getting pollinated). Also that legend of Queen Victoria paying 100 pounds for a single one of the fruits was a myth started by an upstart botanist in the mid 1800s who is also the first one recorded for calling them "The Queen of Fruit". The guy just made stuff up and people just spread it far and wide.

[@ASwallie65]

For some of them, it could be that, in nature, it's more important for females to survive for two reasons: to limit the male Gene pool to only those who can survive, and because multiple males can mate with a single female (over time). The female Pokemon tend to have better traits for survival while males have better traits for competition. This could explain the additional white stripe (for camoflauge) on female snover or even the spots in buisel (spots are inherently camoflauge, even if the buisel itself is not very camoflaugeable.)

[@saintrecent]

HaunterXD O and I'm Asian

[@GenJotsu]

You're contradicting yourself. If all they need is one female, they don't need as many females, fewer is necessary. If someone has better competitive traits, then they are better for survival. Good luck defending a village with mostly females against a group of males. Balance in life, is always key.

[@ASwallie65]

JoKing That's true, but females in nature are ALWAYS better suited for camoflauge. Male birds of all kinds are brighter colored for competition while females are dimmer colored (like brown) for protection. Millions and millions of years of evolution contradicts YOU, good man. (Or woman. Depends, are you camoflauged right now?)

[@fist-of-doom487]

No it spreads out the gene pool, also in many cases the mother is the one watching over the children while the father goes looking for food or fighting. (Not always as their are also many animals that do the deed and then leave) but in either case camouflage serves as protection for the children as well as the mother. If they are watching the children she would need a way to hide herself and her little ones in emergencies. It's not a contradiction so much as varying circumstances.

[@okamisuperblueyoshi1]

He's not contradicting himself. It's a trait found in Lions (a Pride of females with a single/few males) and even Hippos as discussed in this very episode. Having many females in a group with a single male is very very common and more typical. Males in nature tend to fight one another, and as such you are incredibly unlikely to ever deal with a group of male animals.

The Japanese name "Vulgina" (バルジーナ) is actually pronounced more like "vul-JEE-nah", so it doesn't rhyme with vagina. 　Pro tip: Japanese pokemon names are written phonetically, unlike words in English. Just plonk the Japanese spelling into Google Translate, and it can pronounce it for you pretty accurately. Computer voices aren't always the easiest to understand, though. But luckily Google Translate gives a transcription as well ("Barujīna" in this case). This combined with the computer voice probably helps a lot. It might also help learning a little bit about Hepburn transcriptions (the kind used by Google), to know better how all of the letters in "Barujīna" are pronounced exactly, and what that horizontal bar over the i means.

[@blankflank3488]

Raizin Except that a G in Japanese should be pronounced hard, like in goat. But Japanese Pokemon names aren't exclusively Japanese words, so in this case, becuz it comes from "regina", it is pronounced like a J, which is why it is "barujiina". I don't know why Google Translate pronounces it like a J, becuz I've never heard Japanese G's being pronounced like J's. But of course, I don't speak Japanese, so please let me know if there are actually words like that. As you said, Japanese is VERY phonetic, so it doesn't make any sense for a G to not make a hard G sound.

"In this case, they are the male counterparts to *Rufflet* and Mandibuzz." *Rufflet* and Mandibuzz. Lockstin, have the Shiinotics gotten to you?

[@TheIrmak75]

the tsareena line is based on the mangosteen fruit which is the queen of fruit hence they are all females

[@raizin4908]

13:08 "In alchemy and other similar things, the moon represents the feminine powers, while the sun is masculine" I wonder if this has anything to do with the "lunar cycle" that female humans of fertile age are commonly known for.

Bounsweet is based on a Mangosteen, which is the Queen of Fruits

[@1810jeff]

Wait I thought with bees it was the other way around worker bees are female and the only males breed with the queen and there are only a few males in a hive

[@fist-of-doom487]

I don't understand your line of thinking.

[@Girayen]

GioDragonTech he said the other females work while the males continuously breed with the Queen

[@JaredThe]

Hold on I thought it was the other way around! Clearly one of us is stupid.

[@areetablack5301]

You're right usually it's the other way around....Maybe it's a certain kind of bee that has more males than females?

[@unclephil4112]

Male bees are called drones, and only exist to spread the queens, and thereby the entire hive's genetic material. All worker bees are female, and the drones die as soon as they mate. As they produce no honey, have no stingers to defend the hive, as well as farmers having plans for how they want to breed their hives, drone comb is often disposed of.

[@lofty8037]

10:52 "cactuses" *TRIGGERED*

[@megadragonking546]

Flipnote Maker IKR it's cacti

[@titin3287]

Mega Dragon King both are right, actually. Cacti is taken from Latin while cactuses is from English.

[@kaorn7419]

It's not just with english, other languages have weird plural versions too, like german (Kaktus - Kaktusse)

[@blitzatom]

Yeah, it's cacti, octopi, and pegasi. In Latin, plural -us is -i. And plural -a (feminine) is -ae. And plural -um (neuter) is, like the masculine, -i.

[@raizin4908]

+Space Command Coalition - "octopi" is considered wrong by purists, because the "pus" in "octopus" comes from Greek, not from Latin. It doesn't make much sense to apply Latin pluralization rules to a non-Latin word. 　So the preferred from is "octopuses" or, if you want to be pretentious and use the Greek plural form, you can use "octopodes". (Yes, this form is actually found in English dictionaries!)

15:38 "they are the male counterparts of *rufflet* and mandibuzz"

[@IceUrsa216]

The funny part about the origins of Jellicent's differences is that while the patterns make sense, the colours surprisingly don't. Historically speaking, pink, being a more pronounced colour, was used for boys, while the more dainty, subdued light blue was used for girls. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that the colours were swapped.

[@Cookiofshadows2]

I think even today in Japan. If you look at Pokemon Crystal, if you chose the female trainer, your radio was blue. The male trainer had a red radio.

[@JillWouters]

I always thought Jynx looked more like an opera singer, specially with the bra. It makes me think of Wagners Rise of the Valkyries.

[@galacticake]

bounsweet. steenee, tsareena are based off Mangosteen, which in some tropical/Asian places are known as The Queen Of Fruit(The King Of Fruit being Durian), so maybe that's why they are a female only pokemon.

[@Cookiofshadows2]

Sounds like we now need to create a male only Durian based line. :)

Actually, The Bounsweet line is based on the Mangosteen, considered the Queen of Fruit due to its taste.

[@beckhampang191]

The Black Mage from what I heard it's because it's a cooling fruit. A counterpart to the king of all fruits the durian, eating too much durian will make you become heaty.

*Makes video about gender differences* *Doesn't Compare Gardevoir and Gallade*

[@kazuhira202]

well yeah, why the heck is there a male Gardevoir? What's their difference?

[@Inuyashalovek]

Boon Gardevoir’s name in Japanese is “Sir Knight”, and they have been around longer than the male only choice evo. Their design to me always looked like robes, akin to what a mage (or “special attacker”) might use, and their “hair” resembles a helmet. Given the rarity of dawn stones, I think it if for the best that you can have male Gardevoir (Same with how there can be female Glalie). But I also highly prefer Gardevoir over Gallade, and in having so many male Gardevoir it would be upsetting to suddenly lose them in future games, be it they becoming female or Gallades.

[@whatTFisThis]

@@Inuyashalovek although they are based off of brides

[@Inuyashalovek]

Minceraft Gamer The mega for Gardevoir pulls heavily from the Ballroom or ‘Princess’ style wedding dresses, yes, but their non-mega forms do not. They are based off principal dancers (which has both male and female practitioners) and perhaps guardian angels/magical knights. There is also a connection to a type of thin paper doll made in Japan that bares a resemblance but the name escapes me at this moment.

[@privateuser3726]

7:35 We also use them to quote on quote "keep our bones in place". Aka help from dislocation.

[@gonbechyan]

while Vulgina is very much hilarious, it makes a lot more sense how they got away with it in japanese cause the japanese writing better reflects the pronunciation. The name is written as バルジーナ, while if it was pronounced how most of us are inclined to read it, it would be バルジャイーナ. It only becomes a problem when u convert it to roman spelling because both become Vulgina
