    Has anyone noticed that the Old men in Platinum actually turn out to be old Women when you battle them?

    I was like WTF when I first saw it. At first I tought, hmm, Prolly fergot to change that one, but after that I was LOLing so hard.
     
    Wait, what? Where in the game does this happen?

    What...? If you are referring to their long hair, that is actually not at all rare in Japanese culture. It does not mean that they are women.

    One was in the way to Snowpoint City, and another in the cave before the Elite 4.

    To mStar,

    I suggest reading up on Japanese history, the evidence that males did indeed wear such garments is not really that shocking of a revelation.
     
    i'm not normally very mean, but...

    i'm lol'ing at mStar's ignorance. :laugh:
     
    *pokemonelite2000 image removed*Its not even a Kimono. Its a pants style that many martial artists some Samurai wear. The red pants and white top right? They are men.
     
    Those Veteran trainers, right? Yeah, they are men with long hair and a kimono. But I MUST admit that I've found them confusing, too, because their overworld sprites look so different. When they challenge you, they look like bald old men with a white beard, but they turn out to be much younger-looking. And they even have a long, dark grey hair! It has always felt pretty weird to me.

    I guess they only had room for one old man sprite. Like how Ace trainers and Dragon tamers share the same sprite.

    Lazy sons of a...

    ANYWAYS!
    Those "women" are men, maybe if you studied up on a bit of Japanese culture you wouldn't be so surprised.
    Even without it, it's hard to mistake them for women...

    I mean, yeah, that's what it is. My dad wears garb not unlike that while he is training.
     
    I believe those are hakama, a type of traditional Japanese pants originally worn by men.
    The little sprites don't even have feminine features.. T__T
     
    Those are guys. Lol. You made my day.
