| Maternal Instinct? |
I have to admit I have questions about Yoshi. Is it a boy or a girl? Yoshi lays eggs but has a counterpart, Birdo. Personally I think he's a boy! The more that I think about it the more confused I get. It really doesn't make sense. My theory is that when Yoshi first appeared in the game Super Mario World in 1990, it was a girl. This is why it (I feel so cruel calling Yoshi an it) could lay eggs. Though when everyone decided romance was better than friendship, Birdo entered the picture and suddenly Yoshi was one of the guys!
Then again Yoshi still kept, and still does, laying those eggs. Another example of Yoshi being a girl is the game Yoshi's Island. No man could suddenly take up a baby that was stranded and decide to help it get back home. This is a maternal extinct. Yoshi is a very complex and confusing character of the Super Mario series. I think we all know Yoshi is a boy, but then again there's still some speculation! What do you think? Boy or girl?
You bring up some really good points here, especially the Yoshi's Island one.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of Yoshi as a guy, always have. I think he's referred to as "him" "his" in instruction manuals and official materials.
Yoshi is a guy Birdo is transgender, problem solved :) It can be quite confusing.
ReplyDeleteDitto with Parko and Zack. I think Yoshi is a guy too. If he's not a guy, he's both/neither -- Just a Yoshi, not a boy or girl. And as for "Maternal Instinct", I think that it's just trying to say "Yoshis are nice". Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteROFL - I haven't 'wondered' about Yoshi's gender in years, so this gave me quite a laugh - thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteI never wondered in the first place, but I guess I have no choice but to think about it now. ;)
