There's no misunderstanding when your previous post expressed expletive remarks, showing Impropriety to me. Whoever 'thought' Ivysaur was female in Project M or Brawl, may be wrong according to real evidence of plant species human kind, but PMBR, like Sakurai, do not care, making her female. When Sakurai, the game developer says it is a she, I'm going to believe the god of Smash, not someone who showed bad manners through posting claiming Ivysaur is male based off real plant origins to our world, or in the Pokemon games, despite through your 'nicest' way. I will say I know very little about plants, & in the pokemon games the bulb does appears to make Ivysaur look male, but Sakurai developing the character, may just not care? Knowing little about Ivysaur's pokedex entry & very little about gender characteristics. It's still Smash Brothers to me, when all the games & most importantly Sakurai & PMBR confirm his gender, despite not the way it seems, it's still 100% confirmation. Ivysaur, in Smash Brothers., is female.
If you have a problem with it, either deny the lie & call it a male, or just stick with your own preference, like most people have.
