i think KOTOR did this somewhat (at least towards the beginning) with the Mechanics/Stealth stuff. You could clear an entire level by having enoguh security spikes and a high enough engineering skill

Greninja was also introduced

the zubat cave without flash would be terrifying

I think precedent is now 1 gender swapped universe episode per season

ohhh this reminds me of Gerudo Valley

Spoilers!!

bodyguard?!

You could also argue cultural appropriation is part of American culture lol. Next year let's mash up everyone else's costume into one giant gaudy one

You could argue it's an homage to Hollywood blockbusters and our industrial sector, which IMO is more culturally honest than some knockoff stereotypical Native American dress or a cowgirl thing

It's not just girls though, there are some creepy dudes going after the boys too. I was in a sonic costume at SDCC which included a lycra bodysuit and I had 3 separate guys walk up to me with a video camera and just stick it right up to my junk to record it for something.

you mean lifehacker doesnt actually hack stuff?!?!

maybe he just collected a shit ton of rainwater?

I know you can sift it out of rainwater in small amounts. Not sure where you get a huge chunk of it though

2 instances of official sources, though admittedly one is old and one is the Japanese version, showing Birdo 'thinks he is a girl' or likes to be referred to by a female name.

there's an entire wikipedia section dedicated to what exactly Birdo's gender is. Answers range from just girl to transgender to suggesting she is post-op transexual.

That's kind of why she needs her own year, a transgender video game characters is pretty rare. Especially one from the classics era

only at first bc of the first 2 gyms. after Misty it didnt matter all that much

whats a final fantasy without some sort of animal/man hybrid?!

why all the super bro-y games? no RPGs? :/
