Gender

In DP172 Dawn describes Togekiss as being very older-sister-like, and Togekiss' speaking style (as translated by Meowth) is very feminine... would this be enough to consider it officially female, or do we need something more substantial than that? 梅子 19:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I would say it's not enough. Is Harley officially female? --ルレ 19:24, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Togekiss's speaking style is, in a way, even more feminine than Harley's, actually. 梅子 19:45, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
If Ash spoke with a feminine style, would you consider him female? We have had female characters in the past using male pronouns (which confused the heck out of Ash and co.), plus it could be a bit of a joke on Meowth's part for all we know. Until it's flat-out stated that Togekiss is female, we don't know if it is or not. See Pikachu for example. --ルレ 20:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
The way it's presented makes it pretty clear that it is not a joke and is a sincere representation of Togekiss' gender... I'm not really sure how to explain it, though. It's a nuance of the language that's not easily described. Let's wait for the input of some others before we write off the idea completely. 梅子 20:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
