Hey, I just noticed something about my Hippowdon. In both my storage box and on the Pokemon's page, Hippowdon's gender differences are displayed. However, if I follow the link at the top right of my profile and go into my user box, both the male and female sprites are yellow. The same thing happens with Unfezant; both sprites default to male.

It's too bad, since if I'm completing my Pokedex while accounting for Pokemon with gender differences, they show up twice in my user box and look like duplicates.

As you said, the default in the public view of our boxes, is the male sprite.
You can always check through your private Storage Boxes, where it shows a gender symbol, instead of the male/female sprite :)

Are there plans to correct this? Like I said, it looks bad if you're accounting for gender differences in your Pokedex, especially since the alternate female sprites already exist elsewhere on the site.

I just realized this is also the case for Meowstic, which is unfortunate because their designs are super different

I don't think they'll be changed; the gender doesn't change, and they're visible where it matters.
It entirely depends on Riako, though.

In all honesty, it does irk me that every [ By every, I meant different gender Pokemons with different appearance. Like Jellicent, Unfezant, Meowstic, ect. ] female sprite is default to male.

It may seem a minor thing to the majority, but very bothering to the minority.

The correct [gendered] sprite is being shown in Users Boxes.
