From the NES manual for Kirby's Adventure:

Quote
One day, a young Dream Lander named Kirby awoke from his after-lunch nap feel-
ing terrible.

Using "it" sounds so unfriendly. I wonder if "his" was used because Kirby's a male or because it was a convenience. The storyline doesn't include a female, does it?

I think King Dedede and Poppy Bros are they only characters in the earlier games with genders.

I remember this really long debate over at NES Player about Birdie's gender...are there any gender neutral characters?

EDIT: Perhaps Smurfs? I'm thinking, "They don't even have reproductive organs underneath those little white pants."

Personally, I think the argument is moot; Kirby doesnt need a gender.

My wife is a long-term Kirby fan and she says it's a he. I agree with that as if it was a she I think they'd make it a little more explicit like giving it a bow or something like that.

Yoshi is male and he lays eggs! They make a good joke about it in Super Smash Bros Brawl on Wii:

But Birdo spits eggs out it's mouth...which means...it's mouth is a vagina?!?!?!?!

Kirby is so obviously a guy.

Now the real question is how you can mate two Mr. Mimes, or two Jynx. :P

Post by: Kuvio on May 30, 2008, 01:29:23 pm
Good question, I don't know off hand. But, I am sure you could always use a ditto.

I always get semi-grossed out when I mate Pokemon in Pearl. You can't help but think what is going on in that daycare!

Furry porn = le gross!!

You can also mate in gold and silver/crystal and up.

Haha, yeah I remember on Gold I used to breed Wobbuffets back in the day (before there was a Wynaut). People would laugh when I used my Wobble to fight their Lugia or Raikou. The "Oh snap" moment came when I would counter or mirror coat them for a one hit KO.  ;D

I remember in the days of red and blue when missingno wasnt so widely known, I had one and the fact that it was level 150 or what ever really messed with the people I linked up with as they had never seen anything like it. :P

If I had to put a gender on Kirby I'd say it's male.

Isn't Kirby a boy's name anyway?
According to http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Kirby (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Kirby) it can be a female name, too...
