It seems that most Pink Pokémon are mostly-female, which I find to be a bit sexist. After all, Real Men Wear Pink. So, would you like there to be a mostly-male Pink Pokémon? Nidoran♂ and Nidorino are borderline pink in the anime, but are purple in the games.

I would really love it. If anyone remembers my idea of a Fire/Water-type Flamingo Pokémon, I would make it have a gender ratio of 75% male/25% female. FYI, I once thought Clefairy was male and Jigglypuff was its female counterpart.
 
I don't really see why the colour is necessary. Pink used to be the colour of boys, but now it isn't, and I don't think that it is in any way sexist for female Pokemon to be pink. Young girls love pink, so they connect with them. I don't think it's necessary, but if they pull it off without it being tacky, I don't see it being a problem.
 
I would ROCK a mostly-male pink Pokemon.

Mostly because I only catch male Jigglypuff and Clefairy.
 
Some Pink Pokémon, such as the Lickitung family, don't really look feminine at all. Lickitung is 50% male/50% female, though.

This post gave me disturbing images. Brb, gotta pour acid in my eyes.



On a serious note, I wouldn't really mind it, as long as it doesn't look like Lickylicky or something...
 
Yes, we have Lickitung and Lickilicky. They're not bad, but not good either.

Then there's Mr. Mime (Pokédex calls them pink). They're... uncanny

Third is Slowbro/Slowking. They don't look so feminine and they're good, I guess.
 
I don't care. People put too much value in Gender stereotypes, not just those who believe in them but also those who are against them.

Having a pink male Pokemon isn't going to stop sexist bastards from being sexist bastards, and not having it isn't going to make open minded people close minded.

Its just a video game.

Agree, generally.

Disagree, kinda. (Not that Pokemon isn't a video game world, but that it is just a video game world. Though, even if it is, this is a Pokemon forum. [That said, the Pokemon world shouldn't be too well thought out, and shouldn't have a representation of everything in real life that exists.])

If I associate pink with femininity/women at all, it's a human thing. I don't associate pink pokemon with being feminine.

The only pink thing I can think of being mostly or all male would be a dragon. Similar to this. I guess you could do anything pink and make it look "male" if you do your art right.
 
As long as we get a primarily female Fighting-type! They messed up making Meloetta genderless.
 
Snubbull and Granbull don't look feminine. Granbull looks manly, and he's completely pink.
 
I have always thought of Granbull and Snubbill as male Pokemon in dresses, dressed up by the female owners. There seems enough anyway, Slowbro and Slowking seem pretty masculine due to their names (how is a female a bro or king?).

I would also disagree with the "real men" wear pink argument but I don't want to get into that right now.
 
It's not really important, as long as it's a Pokémon really.
 
Why hasn't anyone said anything 'bout the poor Luvdisc or Alomomola yet? :(
Male luvdisc is just soooo adowwable...! <3
 
Voted no because I don't want new pink Pokemon at all regardless of gender.
 
I'm going to be stereyotyplicky male here and say no. Just doesnt seam right to me.

Not necessarily, and I think it's incredibly dense to assume that of all girls. When I was a little girl, I never liked pink for a minute. Only one of my friends liked pink. My favorite color was purple for the first 11 years of my life. Then it became black and has been black ever since.

You don't have to be female to be cute. Male Skitty are just as cute. Same with male Vulpix. Victini is almost universally considered cute, but it's genderless.

So a mostly male pink Pokémon would be fascinating, and I suspect it will indeed be a flamingo.

I have never liked pink, but at least one new pink Pokémon is pretty much inevitable. Sadly.
 
Pink's my favorite color, so any new pink 'mons are fine by me, whatever the gender is. :D
And despite the reported gender ratios, I've yet to find a female Audino in my Black version... so his name is now "Joy."
