Gender

What gender is it Male or female since Popplio evolves into Brionne than Primarina in which femmine looking pokemon in the anime are usually female. - unsigned comment from Feelitstill23 (talkcontribs)

It is our strict policy not to assume a Pokemon's gender. It must be explicitly stated. Tiddlywinks (talk) 01:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Popplio is also a starter. All starters have a 7:1 male-biased gender ratio. However, there is evidence from SM061 that Lana's Popplio is indeed female. That discussion is being had at the discussion page for that episode, and I don't think we should make any changes until a consensus is formed. Macsen (talk) 23:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
As an aside, I don't think the gender ratio that exists in the games exists in the anime. The gender of most Pokémon is decided by the writers of the show. But I agree that we need more evidence before we can confirm its gender. PDL (talk) 14:49, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
It's a girl for pete's sake, it was confirmed in SM061 because the female Pokemon were given ribbons, while the males were given pendants. So that pretty much says its gender. it's the same as the dance in XYZ where the females were partnered to males, the females wore crowns, and the males wore bowties. So why oh why does its gender need to be stated? I already said that I saw when it was confirmed. Come on people, get on the ball already! User:PokemonFan229 talk)
The difference is that in the XY episode, it was stated that males must dance with females, with the gender specific accessories being evidence. In SM's case, it wasn't stated whether the accessories were gender specific and could've either been random or based on trainer preference.--ForceFire 05:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
FWIW, I am personally not sure that XY105 actually confirmed any genders. Tiddlywinks (talk) 11:23, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Lana's Popplio used Sing

In Episode 56 of Pokemon Sun and Moon, it's very clear even tho now on discovered it that Popplio was the one using Sing that put Jigglypuff to sleep. Even tho Komala was the one who doodled on it's face, Komala isnt a pokemon that can learn sing. The show clearly show that once they started practicing singing before Jigglypuff returns, Popplio was the one who wasn't drowsy while it was singing. So Lana's Popplio could already know the move Sing. -- Wolfgerlion64 (talk) 20:36, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

No matter how clear you think it may be, Bulbapedia policy is not to state moves unless they are explicitly named in dialogue or official closed captions. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 20:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
While I'm not for or against the issue Komala can learn Sing through breeding.--Rahl (talk) 15:39, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
