"In your letter, you asked us to make non-binary Pokémon," it opened, "I think that is an awesome idea. There are so many varieties of Pokémon, ꦉso it would make sense to have a variety of genders as well! We want to make sure people of all kinds feel welcome and comfortable while playing our games.

That was around two years ago now, while Sw🍰ord and Shield dropped in 2019 to boot, so perhaps, in whatever comes next, we'll get even more representation amidst the land of cute pocket monsters. For now, Legends Arceus and the Diamond/Pearl remakes are set to launch on January 28, 2022, and November 19, 2021, respectively.
