Just A Giant List Explaining Why All 151 Pokemon Are Queer
Queer Pokemon! The first generation of Pokémon is inherently queer, it’s just science. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Queer is a word in a constant process of evolution, a consistently transformative word in regard to the tangles of gender, sexuality, and the ways people utilize and create their own bodies. Gender non-conforming is a verb, a performance, an identity. It is also sometimes Pokémon: creatures of a variety of shapes and sizes that I and many others like to throw balls at in an try to train and make them battle.
It’s hard having been a kid growing up in the mid 90’s/00’s to hear the pos “evolution” and not think of Pokémon. A franchise that, with its insistent questioning of “Are You a Young man or a Girl” and terrible TM’s like “Attract” isn’t, in reality, all that queer friendly.
Yet, when you rest down and really think about it, slipping your gay goggles on (in much the identical way as Ash would flip his hat before throwing a Pokéball) you can see that Pokémon really can reflect different aspects of our wider queer community. Particularly the first-gen Pokémon, all 151 of them.
My proof of this concept: I love Pokémon, I am also very que
Here Are the 15 Pokémon That Totally Turned Me Homosexual
Back in the early ’90s I was pretty straight, lusting hopelessly after girls and staying up late to watch pay-per-view softcore. By the late ’90s, though, I turned totally lgbtq+, chasing hopelessly after guys and staying up late to survey pay-per-view softcore (but only to look at the dudes). I always wondered what flipped my switch, but Georgia televangelist Creflo Dollar nailed it: I was having gay Pokemon romp sessions that turned me and countless other children gay.
The more I ponder about it, the more it seems totally possible that those original 151 “pocket monsters” turned me from a heterosexual schlub into a lusty gay lothario.
Here are 15 gay Pokemon encounters that introduced me to the world of man-on-man love (and how they did it):
1. Clefairy
Clefairy turns all the children gay because he’s pink and has fairy in his (her?) name. She’s also made of cotton candy or bubble gum or some shit and has her hair done by Renaldo at the Burst ‘n’ Go.
2. Poliwrath
If Clefairy doesn’t turn you gay, then Poliwrath steps in and hypnotizes you into gaydom with his hypno-abs and velvet fists. Kind of prefer a personal g
Your queer Pokémon headcanons?
Ah yes, I’ve seen that before!Barry is non-binary. The Poketch is described in many media to come in "blue for boys and pink for girls" yet there's no explanation for why he owns an Orange one. The manga only says that "they needed a third one", hmmmm....Their hair is also somewhat androgenous.
It’s jossed. I do like the idea of Tucker becoming Fantina (in fact, I mistook Tucker for her once, it took me some research to discover they were two alternative people).Tucker transitioned to Fantina. Their faces, style, purple outfits and flamboyant personalities are earily similar. Also, as a youtuber noticed in this video, Hearthome urban area has a theme of "Finally coming home" regardless of were you show up from, so it could be she discovered her identity while travelling there. And before someone says "Fantina is Kalosian because she uses French phrases", that has actually never been confirmed.
That might be true. Read my headcanon below.Shauna definitely had a thing for the player character regardless of their gender.
The Galar kings were a male lover couple. They
Pokémon as a franchise has been around for more than 25 years, and in that moment we've seen hundreds of characters introduced across the games, anime, manga, movies, and even the trading card game. While there are plenty of no-name carbon copy trainers and NPCs scattered throughout Pokémon, the characters that are part of the story tend to be wildly varied, with no two major characters entity all that alike.
You've got the eclectic cowboy gym chief Clay from the Unova region, the flamboyant gym leader-turned-champion Wallace, the Twitch streamer gym head Iono, and so many more. What's largely lacking among these major characters, though, is LGBT+ representation.
In recent years, The Pokémon Corporation has made some efforts to be a little more LGBT-friendly – the decision to permit either gender player character in Scarlet and Violet wear any clothes, accessories, and hairstyles is a welcome change position – but actual canon LGBT+ characters are few and far between.
It might surprise you to learn, though, that there are actually a few canon LGBT+ Pokémon characters, and a limited more that are heavily implied but not outright confirmed — yet, at le
