Honestly, think there's a better reason for why Cyrano's team is all female. He used to be a pokemon breeder in his early days as a trainer. The shiny Blitzle he gives you? Likely his Zebstrika's son. The Unovan starters? So he can send more to Rowan t give to other trainers in Unova. He might be the head of Blueberry Academy, but I bet he still keeps up the pokemon breeding in his spare time. Heck he's probably how half of the pokemon in the Terarium even got there.

I didn't think about it much, but now that I am, since Cyrano is a "leading member" or the Unovan Pokémon community, he could have female starters to support conservation/breeding programs for suitable trainers. Gothitelle fits his "gentleman" aura with her lolita aesthetic.

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

That's what I think too, same for why he gives you a shiny Blitzle. It's probably his Zebstrika's son and might not even be the only shiny he's got from that team too. I see him as having used to be a big time pokemon breeder before he became Blueberry Academy's director.

One small correction. Male bees will actually often be kicked out of their hives, since they don't work, and mating with their own mother would not be good. Once out of the hive they look for hives with available queens

[@archmagemc3561]

It actually greatly depends on the type of bee. Due to how some bee types have managed to 'hack' the system of genetics, a male bee essentially only has 25% of the queen's DNA instead of 50% as I understand it. Now the true power of this is that, for the worker bees, protecting the queen will spread their DNA farther and wider than mating themselves, as they share 75% of the DNA of the queen instead of 50%. So for every worker that sacrifices themselves for the queen, that lets the queen birth 1.5 workers and is a net positive. This changes their biological code from "Find mate, reproduce" to "Protect the queen" and is seen in most eusocial insects. Its complicated and I don't fully understand it myself, but yeah. Even these hives throw male bees out during the winter though.

[@Roseberry606]

And then they get kicked out again during winter to either 1. Freeze to death, 2. Get eaten or 3. Both

If they did then “HOME SWEET ALABAMA!!”

[@Wandergirl108]

You know, I didn't even notice what a gigachad of a role model Saguaro is until you brought it up. He's a manly man who likes traditionally feminine things, and what I love is that he doesn't feel the need to identify as female or nonbinary or whatever to justify his tastes - he's just himself, and liking "girly" things doesn't make him less of a man. The idea of any sort of preference or behavior being masculine or feminine in nature is inherently silly, IMO, and Saguaro is a perfect portrayal of just being oneself and spitting on that kind of nonsense. I love it! :D As for me…as a kid (when I was SUPER-into Pokémon), I had a huge "girl power" complex, and something that's now ingrained into my OCD is that I only catch female Pokémon when possible. Obviously, I can't control my starter's gender, and I'll catch male-only Pokémon, but if I run into a wild mon that can be either gender and I want the mon but it's a male, I don't catch it. It's silly, really…again, it's a combination of OCD and childish notions of "girl power" mixing to create a senseless compulsion, but even recognizing that, I just don't like catching male Pokémon.😅

It’s kinda the opposite for me, only with certain “feminine” Pokémon, Like Lopunny & Gardevoir, I’ll deliberately only catch Male ones to throw people off who has a prejudice towards Lopunny & Gardevoir being Male.

@@breakeranimation4146 That's completely fair. Like I said, my thing is a childish hangup that my OCD latched onto, there's no valid reason behind it. I like your thing better. :)

Saguaro is a legend of a man. He makes of think of Kanji (Persona 4) but grown up. He's comfortable with his identity and confidently expresses himself through his style and team. I can envision him being a Fairy-type gym leader in Paldea, shocking everyone when they see a huge macho dude rocking a cute/feminine team.

[@blazedj]

Since Grinsley is normally associated with gambling in the things I know him from, I figured that a mostly female team was about Lady Luck. With a majority female team, luck is usually always on his side, but then again, you can’t win em all. Essentially, he knows he’s out of luck when he’s down to his last Pokémon - assuming that it’s his lone male.
