      1. Mixed thoughts on this: 1. Being "too political" is a dumb reason to reject a mod 2. If people wanna play that way, let 'em 3. That being said, it seems like a dumb idea for gameplay reasons. Pokémon has a gender var., & yet practically no moves use it. This just makes it worse. @NESbot_feed/1122644742129500162

      My principle here is that every field in the "Pokémon" data structure should have at least 1 move that depends on its value. Otherwise, the field should just be removed (same principle behind the -Wunused family of compiler warnings)

    So basically, yeah, removing Attract's dependence on gender is fine, but the change should come along with either: 1. the introduction of a new move that depends on Pokémon gender to replace it, or 2. the removal of the gender field from the game entirely
