After years of playing Pokémon, I have come to love how the creators have embraced diversity and inclusion through the addition of LGBT characters in the franchise.
Initially, I did not know each character’s identity or sexual orientation until I did my own research into the topic.
I was pleased by the creator’s idea to make minority groups feel recognized, especially the LGBT community. This revelation made me love these characters more as it made me connect with my LGBT friends.
So please stick with me as we explore the various Pokémon characters who belong to the LGBT group🌈.
Does Pokémon support LGBT? 🏳️🌈
Pokémon is open to the LGBT community and has worked to create a safe space for members of this community.
The franchise has embraced individuals from this community through the addition of LGBT characters and trainers for almost as long as it has been around.
For instance, Blanche, Akari, and Beauty Nova are LGBT characters participating in the game. Most characters are gendered, but a few are either non-binary or have transitioned.
Moreover, through Pokémon Reborn, the creators have developed a fan game for the LGBT community to encourage inclusivity.
I think that these actions speak for themselves and highlight how the franchise has worked to support the LGBT community.
You, therefore, do not need to worry about inclusivity in the game, especially if you belong to the LGBT community.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the latest additions to the series, which strongly identify with the LGBT community.
The new additions take a bold step to include queer and other characters in the franchise 🌟. The design and story have been used to convey a powerful, positive LGBT message.
For instance, the addition of characters like Grusha, who embraces very feminine traits despite being male, highlights the queer-positive environment created by the games 🏳️⚧️.
Maushold and Tandemaus are genderless groups of characters who emphasize the promotion of LGBT ideology in the games.
In addition, Paldea values the introduction of drag races and the rejection of heteronormative attitudes.
The setting in Paldea includes Quaquaval, a queer-positive Pokémon. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have taken the need for LGBT representation to a new level compared to previous additions 🏳️⚧️.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet include not only gay characters but also gay trainers. These additions emphasize the promotion of LGBT normalization in the games.
For instance, Steven and Wallace are in a romantic relationship, highlighting their gay affiliation ❤️🔥.
Their relationship, being romantic, indicates their inclination towards gay relationships ❤️. Moreover, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced Sylveon and Team Rocket into the series.
These are gay heroes who gave deeper LGBT endorsements in the game.
The introduction of gay trainers promotes and endorses gay and LGBT attitudes besides rejecting heteronormative standards.
