\u201c\u2744\ufe0f Blanche was so focused on work that when Candela and Spark stopped by Professor Willow\u2019s mobile lab to offer congratulations on Team Mystic\u2019s Global Challenge progress, Blanche didn\u2019t even look up from the screen. \u2744\ufe0f\u201d

\u201cSo, uh, Pok\u00e9mon GO just went and used singular they for Blanche's pronouns. In an in-universe story.\n\nWhich is doubly appropriate because Blanche, while a real name, means white, aka the non-binary color on the trans pride flag.\n\nSo...Team Mystic says Trans rights :)\u201d

\u201cI know it's like a few years since pogo's been out but i'm glad we finally got confirmation on Blanche being nonbinary/using they/them pronouns and us having a canon pokemon character who uses they/them\u201d

\u201cpokemon go just casually confirmed a nonbinary character and I sWEAR I\u2019ve been saying Blanche is nonbinary since the moment I saw their silhouette back in 2016\u201d
