No. 281: Kirlia

tiny dancer, in my hand

The funny thing is, I may have known what I was getting into. But I bet a bunch of kids didn't. And got surprised when their androgynous Ralts evolved into the extremely female-coded Kirlia.

I was happy to take Ralph to his ballet lessons, but it seems a bit odd that Gamefreak was so accidentally progressive back in 2002. They had already made female-only Pokemon like Miltank, but decided that the Gardevoir line should be an even 50-50 split? I mean, okay.

not a big fan of Kirlia's design by the way, in case you forgot that this is a review blog.


Overall: 4/10

  1. Heh, with Gardevoir and Gothorita/Gothitelle, it gets even more crazy, which makes you really scratch your head and think.
