Talk:Ash's Bayleef

Gender

We know its a female how? - unsigned comment from Lego3400 (talk • contribs)

First off, please sign your comments with ~~~~. Secondly, I don't think we do officially, but it just seems to be the case. --TTEchidna 01:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Or do we officially? Anyone? When was it confirmed as a female Bayleef? Did it, like, get Charizard or Totodile having the hots for it? TTEchidna 21:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

on the ash's bayleef page it says its confirmed to be female Time to eat AND sleep 10:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

People assume it. Every doubts there'd of been homosexuals in a cartoon. So if Chikorita/Bayleef does have, as TTEchinda says 'the hots' for Ash, then people assume it's a girl. SD13 Simpsondude13>SD13 Talk 11:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

You know, Bayleef might not know if Ash is even a boy.... --Force ^Fire talk 11:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Why is it okay to use "The hots" for Ash to confirm that Bayleef is female but you can't say Meowth is male because he has had "the hots" for some clearly female Pokémon. -Sketch 12:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

we can't. However, a nurse joy called her "she". Not exactly enough for me, but, w/e. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 12:34, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Meowth also has "the hots" for Giovanni.

Bayleef is feminine to Bulbasaur's masculine but both genders are not technically confirmed in canon. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 13:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Meowth doesn't have the "hots" for Giovanni. Its more of an effort to please him, nothing more. Just because he has weird fantasies about him, it doesn't mean he has anything for him. Jmath 13:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Girl

Long before I created the account I saw Bayleef's article and it said her voice actress in both Japanese and English is Mika Kanai

That doesn't prove squat. Pikachu's voice is a girl. Does that mean it's female. Bulbasaur voice is a girl. Does that mean it's female as well. Oh yeah, and Ash is voiced by girls in Japan and America. Well... I think I made my point. That evidence means nothing. The best thing we got is that Bayleef has romantic feelings for Ash and even that's not strong enough. --☆ケンジガール 00:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Bayleef's gender

When Bayleef was Chikorita it use to hug Ash as if he was a male Chikorita so that proves it - unsigned comment from Livinlarge18 (talk • contribs)

First of all, what does it prove, that Bayleef is male or female? Secondly, how can you tell by the way it hugs what gender it is? --PAK Man ^Talk 01:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Everyone knows hugs are stylistically different between males and females of a species that we haven't been shown the difference between. Duuuuuuh. TTEchidna 02:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Livinlarge18, have you ever heard of homosexuals? I can't believe someone could be that close minded. --☆ケンジガール 04:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

^ Fail. There aren't homosexual Pokémon, according to the games.

^ ultimate fail. Game=/= anime--Force ^Fire talk 10:20, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

^ A whole new level fail. If they wanted Bayleef to be homosexual, the how come that they never hinted at it being male?

Not to mention that an anime as kiddy as Pokémon is extremely unlikely to invent the concept of homosexual Pokémon. Spideym 05:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

You know, A kid might not know what a Homosexual is, So it's actually safe to have Homosexuals in a kids show.--Force ^Fire talk 05:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

If that was the case, they would include a hint at Bayleef being a male, so that older viewers would get it. Which they never did, hence Bayleef is officially a female. Spideym 05:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Officially. *laughs* See Ash's Bulbasaur and Charizard's talk pages. ^ht14 05:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I did. People there are insane, as some went as far as to suggest that Charla is a cross-dresser male Charizard _-_ - unsigned comment from Spideym (talk • contribs)

Pokémon don't need to be hinted upon to know their gender.--Force ^Fire talk 05:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

But the writers wouldn't have hinted at Bayleef being female if they didn't intend it to be. Spideym 05:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Meganium

Its too bad Bayleef hasn't evolved yet since Ash's Sceptile had a crush on a Meganium, so it would've made sense if Bayleef evolved. File:Ani006MS.gif Charizard and Lugia Rule! File:Ani249MS.gif

I think it hasn't evolved because even though it is still clearly a girl bayleef is the most male looking stage of that evolutionary line and I think since most of Ash's fans are boys they would want his pokemon to seem as male as possible.

Vine Whip

Anyone else think it's worth mentioning that chikorita can't learn vine whip in gen II? And even after that it requires breeding. Kanjo 02:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

No... If it can learn it, in any way, than its not unusual. It's apparently a common thing in the anime being that all of the Chikorita family members shown knew Vine Whip. This is mentioned on the Chikorita main page. --☆ケンジガール 02:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Trivia

Bayleef is the only one of ash's starter pokemon not to reach its final evolution

Who put that in the trivia, because it is so untrue. --Pokelova 09:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

New guy. I removed it already. --ケンジのガール 09:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
