The internet.
The photoshopping phenomenon began in a thread posted to 4chan’s /b/ (random) board[1] on April 22nd, 2007. The first post included a picture of Seaking ramming into the side of the Titanic, presumably causing it to sink. A passenger in a lifeboat is captioned with “Fuck yea! Seaking!” cheering on the oversized monster.
I tend to prefer seeing like Incineroar or Charizard as female and like Meganium and Primarina as male, because fuck stereotypes. But really ingame it doesn’t matter to me beyond nicknames.
