Male or female?

In Japan, there is some debate about whether Lila was male or female.

  • Officially, it is 不明 - unknown, uncertain, ambiguous.
  • Lila uses the stereotypically male first-person pronoun ボク boku.
  • In the manga Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier by Shigekatsu Ihara, Lila is male.
  • In AG169, Takeshi does not become infatuated with Lila, but she is ultimately revealed to be female.
  • In AG170, she turns red when Ash touches her hand; she has a crush on him.
