Overview
- Players found the tutorial’s Gallade labeled female with she/her pronouns after the game launched Wednesday.
- Gallade is normally male-only because it evolves from a male Kirlia using a Dawn Stone, which made the tutorial display stand out to long-time players.
- The Pokémon Company acknowledged gender errors in a Japanese notice translated by Serebii and said a patch will fix them.
- The same notice listed at least six launch bugs that affect battles, competitive play limits, and transfers from the Pokémon Home app.
- Reporters note it is still unclear what happens if a Pokémon with impossible gender data is exported to other games through Pokémon Home.
