Pokémon fans think Paldea’s new gym leader, Grusha, is a woman

When the Pokémon Presents stream first featured a new Ice-type gymnast, many fans thought the trainer, Grusha, was a girl. But official materials eventually revealed that the head of Glaseado Gym is actually a man using he/him pronouns. Some fans were startled to discover their new Poké-Crush isn’t the gender they’re attracted to. And I have no choice but to laugh.

That Pokemon The Twitter account revealed that Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder, and that he is usually cool except during fights. The masculine pronouns confused Some fans who thought they had a female gym leader reveal, but most of the fandom was susceptible to his previous pronouns. Other, hornier fans had a personal crisis.

Bisexual Pokemon fans howeverwas completely unimpressed. Others seem to have had their gay awakening. “If Grusha [is] a guy then calls me gay,” one said Twitter user. Other fan was pleased to see more gamers getting on the gay agenda via a cute gym manager: “grusha fr giving so many people an unexpected gay awakening, that’s a joy.”

The devil works fast, but NSFW Pokemon Fan artists work faster. Half of the explicit fanart I’ve seen had featured Grusha with a curvaceous body (SeriousNot outlook her on a work Machine). An artist complains that her NSFW fanart was no longer canon compliant: “I SPEED DRAW GRUSHA WITH FAT TITS ONLY TO FIND OUT HES A DUDE WHEN IM PRACTICALLY DONE WITH THE PLAY GOD DAMN.” Another artist flatly refused to let any silly he/him pronouns stop him from drawing Grusha fanart with huge badon cores. More power for them!

Big titty or small titty, all grushas are good. The transmasculine Grusha would definitely be able to fit a lot of boobs under that heavy winter coat. So we should all stop worrying about his gender and start worrying more about whether or not he’s going to be a tough fitness leader to beat.
