[@brunoemf90]

@@kosakukawajiri5007 true, but at this point you’re better off doing a separate species a la Gardevoir/Gallade. Each pokémon can only have a base stat distribution, so if it specializes at one attacking stat or the other, the gender that does not use it is at a disadvantage. And if it’s the same, it’s less optimal because you’re not min maxing your spread.

[@roisinwolfibou9646]

I personally would have made female Diggerby a bit fatter or at least stayed the same as the male, because female rabbits have a dewlap, which is a chunk of fat by their neck they use to get fur, so it would make more sense for the female to have a bit more size to it, or at least the same as the male. And also, some of the choices you made to gender differences here are ones that don’t make much sense for an animal, like a doe doesn’t have a more feminine snout than a buck and hens don’t have smaller beaks then roosters. Otherwise great video and I like a lot of the designs, but I feel a lot of changes you made are more based on what we as humans see as feminine vs masculine rather than the evolutionary reasons why some animals have sexual dimorphism. And just so you know, this is more a critique than hating, again I like a lot of these designs, Lanturn and orangaru being favorites for sure!!

The way it's facing doesn't make a lick of difference, the way it specifically looks changes from production to production depending on the costume designer for that particular production. The important part is to make sure Odette has swan wings on the side of her head and Ron's version does.

something i always wished was for male combee to have an evolution where he becomes like a knight or something, and they could even have some fun with the way to evolve it like, K.o. two pokemon in a double battle with vespiqueen being on the field. like it would be so cool and match the royal theme

[@stormylobby]

The thing is, if they were going to have a Combee evolution based on a knight, it’d be biologically accurate to have it be female only as well. This is because female bees, or worker bees, take up all of the roles that keep the hive running. Meanwhile, male bees, or drones, are only useful for mating with the queen and ensuring that there’s a steady supply of future worker bees. Outside of that, drones do nothing other than sit around and eat all day. That being said, an idea for an evolution for male Combee that I think would be interesting, as well as accurate to bee biology, is a Bug/Ghost type evolution based on wraiths, as well as the role of “dark lords” that you’ll often see in fantasy, and maybe possibly even pull a bit of loose inspiration from the Asian Giant Hornet, that’s triggered after a male Combee takes so much damage from Ice Type moves (I’d say take chip damage from hail, but considering Gen 9 reworked it into snow, that wouldn’t work anymore) without fainting ala Basculegion. This is based on how, in the time leading up to winter, the worker bees will kick all of the male drones out of the hive in order to ensure that the rest of the hive will have enough honey in order to survive the cruel winter months, thus resulting in the drones slowly freezing to death. I imagine the explanation for this would be that, while most male Combee perish in the cold after being kicked out of their hive, a select few individuals that have the strongest of wills to keep on going, no matter what, will evolve into this hypothetical wraith bee-hornet (HWBH for short). After evolving, they’re filled with a burning desire for revenge against their former hive mates and will try to steal the honey that the female Combee make (thus the Asian Giant Hornet inspiration, as AGHs are infamous for attacking bee colonies, where they’ll kill bees via decapitation, eat their honey, and steal larvas and thoraxes of decapitated adults to feed to their own young), as well as try to take out the Vespiquen leading it. I’d imagine that this HWBH would have a new ability that acts like Levitate, but for Ice Type moves instead of Ground Type, as well as gets access to a fair few Ice Type moves itself. Embracing what caused it to perish to make it stronger, if you will. Maybe it could even have a new Ice Type move that acts like Freeze Dry that targets Bug Types instead of Water Types. Of course, one could argue that this wouldn’t make sense since most Combee are male, but I propose an easy solution to that issue. Have it stated in a Pokédex entry for Combee that researchers have recently discovered that there’s actually many more female Combee than males in the wild, however, females tend to stick in small groups to watch each other’s back to avoid predators, as well as humans. Males, meanwhile, don’t get anyone to look out for them due to being considered less important in the hive hierarchy, and are often forced to fend for themselves, especially in the months before winter. Not only would this explain the existence of HWBH, but also give an in-universe explanation for why there’s so many gosh dang male Combee in the wild in-game. Plus, it lets people choose whether they want an easy mon to find, but tough to evolve, or a tough mon to find, but easy to evolve.

Have Male Combee evolve into a Carpenter Bee. Carpenter bees are basically harmless to people, but they're large, and the males tend to fly aggressively.

I'll be upfront with my critiques, but to give myself context I struggle a lot defining masculine vs feminine traits, and resonate with the idea that they're very arbitrary and loosely defined as an idea. Take that in mind with the thoughts I'd like to share. I think overall your ideas came out well and I personally want to bring up my own thoughts is all, as subjective as they are. I'd honestly love to see what you do in the future with this concept and see how you change as time goes on! As proof of concept, there's a lot here that is rather well in theory, but there are some that either really work in practice, or fumble on the execution of the idea and why the original differs from nature. Take Heracross versus Ariados. Heracross loses a key feature of its design philosophy, but Ariados adds to their own. If I had one complaint that I did wish to address, and I could entirely be missing the point of this video and I apologize if I am, the beliefs you express versus the designs on display don't always align themselves as fully as I think they should. What do I mean by this? Using your Milotic example at 4:54 of "Femininity isn't exclusive towards women" there are a few of your designs that really don't push that point further or rely too hard on the tropes of masculine vs feminine rather than properly explore that to a greater effect. A lot of your female Pokemon for example tend to subtly have too many smaller features, such as height and proportion and doesn't really come across as applying that logic to its fullest or challenges that belief (Excluding ones like Dewgong, Cyclizar, and Ursaring to name a few that have more poignant choices). There are some that work, very well such as Ursaring, and others like Alakazam where it feels unnecessary. Really out of all the designs you've done, I think a majority have merit. Cyclizar, Conkeldurr, Stantler, etc. most of the designs have a lot of redeeming and sometimes endearing qualities. I do however think you went a bit heavy handed on one of them. Your Delphox. It might just be me, but Delphox doesn't read as masculine or feminine in my opinion. They're an archetypical mage. Yes, they are based on Witches which are more commonly a title given to women in modern culture, but their origins were gender neutral (Wicca or Wicce). I think leaning really hard on the wizardry themes both changes way too much, and also showcases the antithesis of the more healthy gender differences you've done previously. A small bit of beard alone would've been fine, or messing with how the fur to lean harder into looking akin to a robe would be substantial enough (Though that's more a gut reaction of an idea rather than a suggestion, it'd be something worth workshopping further). Regardless, whether you take anything from this or not is fine, I'm just happy to share my thoughts and hope you enjoy reading this if you are, there's no animosity from me just my general subjective thoughts. Keep up the good work you do! 👍

[@JesseBizarreArt]

@user-py8oj5yv4m Perfectly valid. I know I might be in a bit of a minority here thinking Delphox looks more gender neutral. I generally don't mind if a Pokemon has a gender difference or not but are a neat concept to consider overall imo

[@mydogjazz6553]

When I first watched this video this was exactly what I was thinking. I love pokemon like roserade, gardevoir, and lopunny specifically because the males and females are equally feminine.

Sorry for leaving such a long comment on such an old video. But I really think your comment should have more likes.

[@ryanolphie2166]

I won't go into all of your designs (that would take forever) but I would argue that the biggest things that don't work in execution are the difference in overall size and the removal of parts (like the female heracross' horn). The games have been dabbling with adding size differences of individual Pokémon lately (Pokémon go being the biggest example), and the removal of body parts like horns would mean that they can't learn attack that involve those parts. I do think however that this is a good video, as you tend to think up of some interesting ideas. So I think this is at the very least a good taking point and thought exercise

Actually Nidoking and Nidoqueen are partially more similar, but also with the difference that Nidoking naturally learns Megahorn, while Nidoqueen gets Superpower. With these already existing Gender differences, there is no reason why the same Logic couldn't be applied on Heracross. Just remove Megahorn from the female's moveset, or replace it with another move that the male won't get. Besides... Gastly can learn the Elemental Punches. Primeape and Alakazam can learn Iron Tail.

If you look at Pikachu, the female has a heart-like shape at the end of its tail, which is just adorable and sweet. When it evolves it only has a little blunt spot compared to male Raichu and I don't think anyone benefits from that and certainly noone will change their opinion of Raichu based on that difference. And that is something that is true for very many of the pre gen. 5 differences. In my opinion, neither the specific Pokemon nor the game benefit from these and that's why they went on making fewer and more noticeable ones so that they actually have an impact.

[@Cajun_Seasoning]

@@Robottank4vet Thats a completely fair answer

[@ammaokami4479]

I remember as I was playing Pokemon Moon purposefully blind, I caught a pair of Sandalit in the hopes it would be like Nidoking and Nidoqueen again. After the female evolved, I gave the male a few more levels before cracking and looking up how to evolve him. Finding out that they don't made me the most disappointed I'd felt in a long time

[@chesirecat2969]

Idk why but female Conkeldurr gives me Miss Trunchbull vibes. You know, the principal from Matilda.

[@Kicon28jc]

I enjoy the colour variations and slight changes to a design, as like you said it makes the Pokémon feel more special. I really like the Lantern variation and the others that messed around with the body shape a bit more like Dewgong. The Sawsbuck design I feel was a big miss making them bright pink, as it just made it quite ugly and too overpowering. I feel you should of replicated the seasonal foliage on their front hair tuff instead, like winter Sawsbuck and have types of bushes for the seasons. Its a lot less subtle and achieves the same vibes as the male counter part. Also, the designs like Machamp just don't sit right with me and feel you've done the same thing you said others did, which was to give them an hourglass figure. Reducing the muscle mass has possibly done that. The pokemon is already too humaniod and so I feel something like smaller head crests and beaks for males as they are more prone to fighting or showing off and ware them down compared to the females, as to add more of the animalistic features into the creature design.

I think that video is from 2013. Nice to see it randomly referenced more than 10 years later.

[@UltimateBlobrex]

Love this video, I've always enjoyed gender differences, cause it's nice when each pokemon has something unique, even if subtle

[@oras7745]

"It's more interesting to have a masculine female Pokémon and a feminine male Pokémon. Cause that's how real life is, it spices things up", thank you for making that clear. It's fun to experiment with different designs and I personally tend to like masculine looking Pokémon or masculine forms of feminine looking Pokémon more, but that doesn't mean feminine looking Pokémon need a masculine form. It's generally just nice to be able to choose. And it's even more fun when you use actual biology and zoology to make realistic changes that are sometimes subtle and sometimes more noticeable depending on the animal. What I like most about your changes is that you don't look to make the counter parts look super masculine or feminine, just different in a way that has the wished effect but don't change the Pokémon too much.

[@thelucasmdutra]

I think Pokémon would be a better company if they hired passionate people like you. These are A M A Z I N G ideas.

[@CooperGal24]

I was thinking and designed a fan gender difference of Primarina, if the male variant looked like a bigger sea lion with an appearance like a sea king, like King Trident from Disney’s The Little Mermaid or Poseidon from Disney’s Hercules. I still need to finish it, but I’m proud with how it’s looking so far.

[@Sin_Alder]

Part of me wishes they implemented this feature for far more Pokemon, but another part of me hates that I can no longer have the female Sneasel I grew up with without her adorable ear being chopped off. I like gender differences, but I hate that there's an example of them butchering a Pokemon's design, because it makes me worry that they'd do it again. Next thing I know, I'd have to worry about them removing Larvitar's eye makeup, Wooper's gills, or Zigzagoon's stripes.

[@Ruby_Dude55]

was not expecting that many designs as always, great work

[@PhinTheShoto]

I love how you handled female Machamp! I hope GameFreak makes it like this because I love my Machamps and genuinely want the females to be a little covered up to be more distinctive

[@Roseberry606]

I must confess yours is probably the only female machamp design i respect, love how you didnt make it overly feminine or give it a bra and the subtle color change actually looks good Also THANK YOU SO MUCH for making female lanturn bigger and taking real biology into account instead of using the big male/little female stereotype for all of them I usually dislike pokemon gender diference videos but this one is pretty great

Fun fact about axolotls: They actually dont reach true maturity as they are a salamander they usually perform a sort of metamorphosis tto lose their gills and become terrestrial. However these are rare as axolotls are basically in a constant juvenile state and most go their whole life without reaching this state as its only achievable if certain conditions are met or it is forced, The stage has several health problems and loses their regeneration Anyways just fun fact as i seen axolotls be mentioned in the video

[@elinamauno8833]

I am gonna be honest - I really do not like the Machamp gender design. To be honest, I hate any that suggest giving them a sports bra or a unitard. Personally - it just to me makes it so weird - why would the female have their upper body covered the same way their middle is, but the male’s isn’t, on a Pokemon design? I just don’t personally like what that implies. I know people will disagree with me, and that is completely fine.

[@PiggyBonkers0309]

Probably because it’s a humanoid Pokémon

[@elinamauno8833]

@@PiggyBonkers0309 Fair enough, I get where people’s idea for adding that as a gender difference comes from. I just personally do not like applying gender ideas related to how much a similar-to-clothes item covers to a Pokemon.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

Funnily enough, there _was_ a scrapped female Machamp sprite in one of the leaked Diamond and Pearl beta builds, and the only difference is that the crests on its head are smaller.

[@EcIipse2]

It is a fact that men do not need to cover their breast area like women do. how many men wear bras in the beach compared to women? Do female body builders go to stage bra-less like their male counterparts? You may not like it but it is a fact. I would understand and even agree that machamp doesn’t really need a gender difference except for one thing, it’s underwear. When they added the underwear, they pretty much reinforced gender stereotypes into a pokemon. It isn’t ideal but that’s the design we got.

[@elinamauno8833]

@@EcIipse2 When did I try to say people with boobs don’t wear Sports bras? Weird to go on such a long rant about it. As I said, you may have a different opinion about whether or not a Sports bra fits on a Pokémon design as a gender difference, I myself very personally as I have specified many times - would not finf it a good decision. If it’s underwear - okay - they then imply that if the female has a top, then there’s sthg under it that needs to be covered - what is it then? That then again implied things. Personally, not a fan.

[@eastonmoon]

I feel like this is your most simple yet most creative video recently

[@sirefirefly]

I don't super like all the size changes, but otherwise great video!

[@intergalactic92]

I’m of the opinion that there should be always be some sort of gender differences no matter how minor. But also single gender pokemon that have a an opposing counterpart should have a baby form that can be either gender e.g. there should be a baby calf pokemon that can evolve into either Miltank or Tauros. Give them a logical way for them to procreate without resorting to ditto.

[@TeoReviews]

A whimpier male should be implemented? Nah. A bad ass Matriarch should be implemented for Ariados! Great video as always!

[@TessuDraws]

Okay, the female Conkeldurr is actually a huge improvement. Usually I hate the whole line. Conkeldurr's nasty head boil thing looks so squishy and like it'd wiggle and sway a lot and it just makes me feel all kinds of grossed out. It just reminds me of that one kid's face boil from Fairly Odd Parents. But you turning it into concrete hair on the female one made it so much better. Now it's not nasty anymore, it's a cute "hair" bun. :)

[@PorygonBugado]

So female heracross wouldnt have megahorn

I don't like the new design, because it lose heracross unique identity. I think a hearth horn is better and it keep heracross identity.

Because they’ve gone insane from the brainrot

[@ZephyCluster]

while I agree with the Dewgong change to give males larger horns, I would have also made female Dewgong's fins and tail longer/wider. actual dugongs were thought to be what inspired the alluring sirens/mermaids tricking sailors to their doom so the long fins and tail could look like a flowing dress/sleeves
