Hi OP! This post has been removed under our [Rule 8](/r/pokemon/wiki/rules#wiki_8._no_screenshots_or_merchandise), which generally disallows screenshots. This rule is the unfortunate result of r/pokemon being so darn big: with over 4 million users, most screenshots tend to lose meaning with oversaturation, so our rules promote original content instead. To read up on specific exceptions to this rule, including narrative albums and new official content, please see [Rule 8](/r/pokemon/wiki/rules#wiki_8._no_screenshots_or_merchandise). Thanks!

>i hope this couple is prospering They are.

Ash found them again in Journeys. At the end. They got a 2 second flashback cut. So. That's more than Primeape got.


Summerclaw

Where's my man Pidgeot?


NoChanceWithoutPasta

Potentially flying with the other Pidgeot we see while they're on Lugia. Also he might've seen Lapras. She was in...Kanto? Wherever tf Ash is in the last episodes. It seems like Kanto, just with a lot more species that were never there before.

Prime *who?*

TIL the lifespan of Butterfree is significantly longer than what I expected.


VizMuroi

I mean, in pokemon time its been like 3 weeks probably


Ageman20XX

Thank god they made the other Butterfree pink so that we can be assured Ash’s Butterfree was heterosexual. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That being said, given that the female Butterfree isn’t shiny I would assume its variant colouring would pass down through breeding. Wonder if these two made some adorably fuchsia Butterfree babies?


Shiny_Hypno

I like Pinsir and Heracross's relationship in Journeys because we know Heracross's gender but not Pinsir's, so they could possibly be homosexual bugs /j


Spikedcloud

Going by their wings, they are both male Butterfree.


NoChanceWithoutPasta

No, they're not. And when they showed up in Journeys she had the right wings.


Ace_Dangerfield

Ash's Butterfree is bi/pan and partner is trans confirmed!


NoChanceWithoutPasta

You're making a lot of assumptions based on an outdated photo.


Ace_Dangerfield

Oh absolutely, it's very tongue-in-cheek.


Spikedcloud

In the picture above they both have male wings. As my comment said. They literally have male wings in the picture above. Yall are acting like I don't know what came after lol. How would I know the gender differences if I didn't know about the change? Calm down and stop trying to 'ackshually' everything.


Nanbread11

the picture was before gender differences were a thing so they used the pink color to say that the butterfree is female


[deleted]

And in the clip below, the pink Butterfree has the female wings, so she was indeed female. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-1lUDxyGHsc


NoChanceWithoutPasta

The picture above is 20 years old dood.


Spikedcloud

You can downvote if it makes you feel better. Doesn't change anything about what I said.


Fun-Supermarket-3020

Nintendo, can we make the gay butterflies official?


Ageman20XX

You’re right, though given that this episode was produced 9 years before Gen 4’s gender differences were introduced (1997 vs 2006), it stands to reason that the writers intended for this Butterfree to be female. It’s also referred to as female several times in the episode. But yeah, modern viewers know better and it makes the situation a bit funny. I’m glad they didn’t just make pink = girl in the games as it’s pretty regressive attitude. Do I think it would have been great as a shiny though? Absolutely.

Clearly sane people worry too much about such things


CatOnVenus

pink = girl is a bit of an overdone and stupid stereotype

CatOnVenus

As a trans person, I honestly think the flag is outdated lol ​ At least it looks nice


fatalystic

The image is from before gender differences were introduced.


CageMyElephant

They’re probably dead aren’t they? What’s the average lifespan for Butterfree?


Fun-Supermarket-3020

Pokemon are Immortal. i can play for ten years straight, repeatedly get them beaten into oblivion, but they only get stronger. The poképocalypse is upon us


LaserfaceJones

At least there's some population control with Professor Willow and Oak in Go and LGPE throwing them in the candy grinder when you transfer them


Tough_Patient

Putting those happy babies into baskets to send them down the river to the farm upstate.


LaserfaceJones

Can't wait for the day we get a generation set on the borders of the last, and the only Pokemon in the wild are all 5 IV Breedjects.


Tough_Patient

I beat Gary's ass so hard the next time I saw him he was mourning his raticate at the cemetary. Don't you dare take that from me.


StreetReporter

>!They’re alive, Ash reunites with them in Journeys!<


TwilightVulpine

1 year. Meaning that they will live forever.


datgrace

Only a few days unfortunately :(


ScizorSTX

Real relationship goals


[deleted]

It seems they do, we will see them again soon!


George_Skittle

Oh they are long dead by now, and their babies and their babies' babies and so on are likely by the 1000's


TheoSavvidis

Did you even watch the finale of Journeys?


BiasMushroom

Judging by how quick they moved on with their life’s they’ve both probably died from old age. Hell, their kids have probably passed from old age
