New Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC Features Gender-Neutral Restrooms

  • New DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, The Teal Mask, has gender-neutral restrooms.
  • Players discover them in the community center lobby in the new region of Kitakami.
  • The restrooms are marked with Pikachu icons rather than the typical male and female symbols.
  • The text reads "This restroom can be used by anyone!" when examining the gender-neutral option.
  • This is an explicit acknowledgement of queer and non-binary characters in the Pokémon universe.
