Holy Crap....
 
I was watching a pokemon episode I had on a blank tape. I had no idea Tate, one of the Mossdeep gym leaders. Was a guy. I thought he and liza were sisters. But they areh bro. and sis.

Now why is Tate dressed like a girl????

Natsuki June 13th, 2006 5:32 PM

Hmm, this should go in the Pokemon TV Show and Movies section. =3~

I felt the same way, why is Tate dressed like a girl, I thought Tate was a girl as well!

Maybe it's a translation error, maybe Tate is a girl in the Japanese version!

Airazor from Beast Wars was a Male in Japanese, but female in the North American version, and Mainframe (a Canadian company) developed the show, so the Japanese screwed it up! O_o

In most english versions of anime they make most gay characters females.

In the english version of Inuyasha Jakotsu is a female where as he was gay in Jap

But maybe Tate was controlledh by his sis to dress like a girl.

Miss Reyna June 13th, 2006 6:27 PM

I thought the same too. I thought Tate was a girl too by how he was dress. Still it won't be the first time 4Kids change the gender of a character since Atia from the Legend of Thunder was made into a guy in the dub.

Hiroki June 13th, 2006 6:42 PM

They are both twins, and thats japanese culture.

Jakotsu was male in the english version also. If I remember correctly, they called him "He".

I knew he was a guy, who names a girl "Tate"? it sounds more like a guys name.

And doesn't she call him her brother in the game?

HOLY JEEBUS...thats kind hot.... Oo. ...

Anyway....
I always thougth Tate was male... he looks male... at least I think he does. ^^;
Whoo knows...maybe 4Kids did another sex change... ??

Oh yes, and Jakotsu is male in the Inuyasha dub as well.... x3

enyce June 13th, 2006 7:37 PM

So my friend lied to me....


again..never believe what you hear until you read it from a reliable source

Jeremy June 13th, 2006 8:30 PM

Wow, ♥Naomi♥, you must really hate me, sweetie. XD

I already knew Tate was a guy, it was pretty obvious, sweeties. He crossdresses, so what? A lot of people do stuff that other people may find weird. *Salutes Tate to be the xth Pokécross dresser.* XD

"Leik omg, tate's a guy!!!1one" "like omg, jeremy's a guy!11"

Man, me and him can relate. XD

hmmm...
Ah yes...back when I was a little PC n00blet I thought you were a girl for like... few days. Because I didn't bather to notice the gender info....
I was just all 'Hey, blue font, and a female avi and signature!'.... ^^;
Yes... I'm guilty of that. (I'm sorry!! ^^;; ))
Then again...I had someone think I was a guy once... ^^; They did the same thing as me, and didn't notice the gender.

Seriously though, I never thought Tate was female.
*Can picure Jeremy going 'Geee...Thanks alot.' </ sarcasm > *
I think I remember Lisa calling Tate her brother in the dub, didn't she?
I mean...its kinda obvious he's a male...he sounds like a male... and I didn't really think he looked female....

Gyardosamped June 13th, 2006 8:46 PM

I never knew it though that Tate was a guy, since I don't watch the shows I just play the games it's what I thought. But now I know it's very wierd...

oni flygon June 13th, 2006 8:47 PM

I believe Tate's name in Japanese is "Fuu", but I'm not so sure. Either way, "Fuu" is a masculine name the last time I checked. Also, Tate's a boy, as clearly shown, in the manga.

But then again, I might be wrong on the translation part.

No need to apologize sweetie. ^^

Anyway, in the dub, I could have sworn she called called him brother, at least once.
Also sweeties, you can tell Tate is a guy. just compare his eyes to his sister's.

Taemin June 13th, 2006 8:50 PM

Holy lords!.... Fuu is my nickname IRL... ^^;
I've only heard Fuu in reference to females... but then again, it means 'Seal'. so its nothing that HAS to be a girly name... oO

Gee.... I don't think this was meant to be thought about this much... ^^;

enyce June 13th, 2006 8:51 PM

See I never read the manga well, the part on Hoenn...

See only thing I know on Hoenn is the games. So I judged him based off apperance. I thought he was female. Based on looks.

Yes I beat the part on Mossdeep before I saw the Dub with Tate and Liza. So sue me!!!!!

Ari-chan June 13th, 2006 8:54 PM

I thought Tate was a girl only before I heard his name in English was Tate and heard his voice. As for crossdressing, he isn't crossdressing. He is wearing clothes that are not gender specific.

Taemin June 13th, 2006 8:57 PM

Exactly... their clothes just looked like fancy Japanese/Chinese outfits...
They don't look like they're suppose to go with just one gender...

It's true.. They're kinda wearing japanese outfits, but that's how the creator of Pokemon made it... Tate's kinda a girl name but it does not really matter cause I don't know much about games ^^

Ai June 13th, 2006 9:14 PM

i didnt think Tate was a girl... he looked boy-ish enough for me XD

I never understood why the creators gave guys girls names.

Like there is an Team Magma admin named "TABITHA".

Then there was an elite four member named "SIDNEY"...Also I know a girl who has tate as her last name.

Taemin June 14th, 2006 8:40 AM

XD That Tabitha thing made me laugh.
N' yeah...4Kids thinks up odd names...
I STILL don't like the name 'Brock'... I've always thought of Tate as last name... oO Its rarely used as a first name.

The games made from Japanese, they have different cultures so I must understand xD
