Sure why not. They can use both male and female hair and clothing.

Sure, no reason why not. Let you pick all clothing choices as well regardless.

This would probably make it the most popular fashion choice for players. I've been hearing complaints about the lack of options for males since trainer cusomization was first a thing.

Yeah, that ended up being a popular feature for New Horizons

Seriously this should've been a thing 3 generations ago.

Then conservative parents would start boycotting the game for pushing an LGBT agenda on their kids or something dumb or like that

Splatoon learned ages ago just choose the body type and allow everyone to wear everything.

They tried boycotting the game series because evolution. That failed. Would this finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Will conservative parents finally succeed in canceling Pokemon?

False. Pokemon asks you for your sex not gender.

They are working towards it. They ask you what you look like rather than are you a boy or a girl.

Animal Crossing allows for it too, and nobody complained. You can change your facial features, hair, wear dresses, suits, etc.

Speaking of New Horizons, the way they handle gender is a pretty good route. Its the two choices, but it says pick your style. Seeing as how gender doesnt make any difference whatsoever in these games, that seems like a good way to handle it.

Or alternatively, just have every customization and clothing option open to every character, and just build them however you want. Just do away with the question all
together.

Not to mention the ability to go back and change at any time.

Ring Fit does this as well. "Pick a style" and change it whenever you want.

No. Youre not playing as yourself. Youre playing as a fictional character in a fictional universe. And in that universe youre either a male or a female.

It looks like Splatoon 3 is gonna ask the same question, which makes sense since it's the same developer.

Yeah I wonder why they even bother having you make a choice in New Horizons since both genders/styles/options can wear all the same things and use all the same facial features and NPCs only refer to player characters as "they"

I guess. Never understood the hang up, it's a video game character. Just pick whichever one you think looks better. I don't think it's ever really mattered aside from the first time it's been asked anyway.

One of those "no reason not to do it" situations though.
