To me, it feels like the Generations series is pandering more to its male audience than a unisex audience. Since the beginning of the Pokemon series in general, a good portion (but not all) of the female characters that have shown up in Generations have gotten a lot of attention from the Pokemon community as "waifus" and reading the comments section of the Youtube videos doesn't really help. While watching some of the ORAS and Cheryl's episode, I did kind of get an awkward vibe from them (especially Courtney; definitely did not read "yandere" from her in-game dialogue).

I'd have liked to see Hilda, Dawn, and May, but so much for that. As a female Pokemon fan, I relate to them, and it feels like Generations is saying the true canon heroes are the male MCs.

Generations is only canon to itself though. People insist that it means only the specific games shown are canon and the other version isn't but that's equally bizarre.

Heck, the Aqua episode can't even be canon to Generations because if it happened, literally nothing else can.

Out of curiosity, why would showing only the male player characters pander to a male audience? Plenty boys play as the girl and vice versa.

I'm curious about that too. Unless the game has chara customisation I keep choosing the male heroes. I couldn't have been happier about seeing the male protags in movement.
