I hate this in particular because I always wished that the franchise itself didn't give gender differences to Pikachu in the first place. It's kinda like Frillish. Like, why is the girl pink and the boy blue? But here, it's worse for me because Pikachu are literally the franchise mascot, so unless a pikachu has an indent in their tail, its going to be a boy that's the face of eighty percent of whatever comes out of the franchise.And of course we can't forget what the Anime did to the Cosplay Pikachus!
This is also why I hated that one SM episode with a passion, not only because of the OOCness, but also because of how irritating it was to see the whole "two guys fighting over girl who needs to be rescued" trope in pokemon. It was like when Serena and Miette fought over Ash, but ten times worse, because at least Ash didn't INSTIGATE them(e.g the female pikachu literally kissing both pikachu...).
