== Raichu's Gender ==

Is Visquez's Raichu really male? Tierno's Raichu was female despite having the male gender difference. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:44, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
:Removed. Gender should '''not''' be assumed, regardless of its gender difference (as Raichu's female variant has not yet appeared in the anime, despite a female Raichu having appeared in the anime post Gen IV).--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 05:06, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
::Now that we ''have'' seen the female variant from today's episode, should this be looked at again? The anime gender policy subsection of the speculation policy did say we can make inference for pre-Gen IV species on gender differences if both of them have appeared.

:::Any individual Raichu that has appeared past DP001 can be referred to as male now, yes. Any Raichu before that episode is still "unknown" until they appear again. Tierno's Raichu... is an odd case, probably can be explained as an error.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 17:16, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
::::What? But Ash's Heracross also did appeared after DP001, in Sinnoh League. How is that different?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 18:00, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
:::::Ash's Heracross was ''introduced'' before gender differences were introduces. Just appearing in Generation IV or later isn't enough. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
::::::Personally, I think it's the kind of thing that animators only remember when it exists at one time or another. I don't think they always make sure of that.Tierno's Raichu is the best example of this. 
::::::It is the same chronology of a TV series, fans make a thousand theories, while producers and writers are not as careful. Game of Thrones say it.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]][[User talk:Hikaru Wazana]] 18:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
:::::::The female Heracross variant hadn't appeared yet at the time of the Sinnoh League. In other words, Heracross has to appear ''again'' as it would appear after the anime has acknowledged the female form.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 18:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Then it should be "''Any individual Raichu that has '''debuted''' past DP001 can be referred to as male now''"?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 18:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
