As both male & female variants of Robin will be playable, it seems appropriate to use the pronouns they/them/their, etc. instead of he/him/his. Hausheck (talk) 17:18, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

The current policy is we use the pronouns of the more prominently displayed variation in situations like this. Villager's official art is male, so we male pronouns, while we use female ones for Wii Fit Trainer for the same reason. While the official artwork here shows both versions, the reveal trailer and poster both emphasize the male version, with the trailer making it clear that female Robin is the alternate version.

Miles does have a point. Both Villager and Wii Fit Trainer use the male and female pronouns (respectively), and since Male Robin is more focused on in the trailer, it seems reasonable to just have male pronouns.

That, and Miis don't have one gender favored over the other, so that's why they use they/them/their pronouns. Aidanzapunk (talk) 17:23, 14 July 2014 (EDT)
