I...didn't know this was something people did. That's kind of...odd. I chose black for some Version-Exclusive Pokemon (can't recall which one), and I dislike Reshiram's design because it seems incredibly over the top to me.

the nipple cover feathers just bother me.

While there are things that I really dislike and like about the designs, I had no idea that the feminine/masculine argument was a thing. ugh

I have never heard this before and it doesn't make sense to me. Reshiram doesn't look particularly "girly" to me, and I don't like using "girly" as an insult anyway. If anything I like Reshiram's design better, personally, but that's just me.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-27 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
This is an argument people make?

I personally chose Reshiram because i just thought it looked better. It seemed more....cute.

Is Reshiram the white one? Neither design rocks my socks off, but the white one looks cuter. It's why I haven't played anything past Crystal yet, the pokemon designs as a whole seem to get progressively uglier. :/ I like my pokemon cute, thank you very much. /*currently has a level 50 Totodile*

da

There are some adorable Pokemon in Gen 5 imo, like Victini, Lillipup, Chubchoo, ectect. Personally Gen 4 was the ugliest to me.

But then again it's all subjective lol.

(totadile will be my third favorite forever though <3)

Yeah, same here. Reshiram's cuteness was basically what swayed me to the Black side.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-27 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, I always felt that saying Reshiram was 'girly' was the wrong because it's the White Yang Pokémon (in Japanese, at least), so it represents the light, hard, masculine half of duality. Zekrom's the Black Yin Pokémon, so it's everything dark, soft and feminine.

And yet, Reshiram has a "soft" design and Zekrom's is "hard", so they both represent bits of both parts at the same time. They both represent duality, whilst being two halves of a whole.

But as far as I'm concerned, Reshiram is definitively masculine-looking (crotch-fluff!) and Zekrom is more feminine- the chest plates look a bit like a bra if you look close!

[personal profile] vastblaze 2012-08-28 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not to mention Reshiram's movie song mentions birth, and Zekrom's death. To add to the Yang/Yin aspect. I linked their designs to being each other's 'eyes,' too (white in black, black in white). The hard of yang/Reshiram also works in that Reshiram is a lot pointier than Zekrom - less soft/smooth, if you will, even if it has feathers.

I didn't notice Zekrom's plate bra but now I can't unsee.

Well considering the huge chunk of the fandom that consists of some very young people with very skewed ideas of "feminine" and "masculine" and so on... Yeah, I can see why someone would make a shitty "argument" like that one.

JustinRPG is that you?

This is what this secret reminded me of.

What? Beyond how ridiculous it is to use ~girly~ as an insult, those Pokemon don't even have sexes.

I always thought people liked Reshiram better. Because he looks like an angel or something.

I think that Reshiram looks like a Dr. Seuss drawing. c:

[personal profile] ex_paola492 2012-08-28 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Woah, people argue about this? Considering they don't even have a gender like most legendaries?

I admit getting the White version and not liking Zekrom's design at first, but then it kinda grew on me. Now I want to throw a stick for it to catch and rub its belly.

Lol. I got Black because I thought Reshiram was cuter. And it turned out to be a badass fighter too.

This is a thing? o_0

Yeah, that's stupid.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
The only reason why I'm surprised this is even a thing is because of the giant feather penis Reshiram boasts.

...Which is the main reason why I'm just going to permanently box mine and forget about its existence once I obtain one for the 'dex. I know it's superficial, but seriously, what the hell.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-28 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
+1

If I had to say one was male and one was female, I'd say the one with what looks like a penis was male.

[personal profile] vastblaze 2012-08-28 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Is this really a thing? Because wow.

I'm an echo, apparently. Also, Reshiram for Most Awkward Wings award.

I honestly didn't care less about these two when choosing my version; Black City is cool.
