What we are saying is that when referring to a large group, non-gendered pronouns are the correct way to go. This however can be excused if the group is completely composed of one gender, such as a parasol zombie hoard. This whole gendered pronoun thing is very difficult, and as for my opinion I agree with the original, in that plants should be gender neutral (also in real life, flowers possess both male and female reproductive parts...so they're bigender if anything), and zombies in my opinion should be gendered. I see what you are talking about, but if the entire group of, let's say, Chard Guards gets labeled as male, why can't the entire group of Marigolds be labeled as female as well? If they are referred with a male or female pronouns in at least one official source, then that's their gender, and using gender-neutral is pointless. Now, if they are referred with male in a place and female in another place, that's another story, we can use gender-neutral there.

In my opinion, as stupid as this may sound, it's likely there is some sort of cloning going on when it comes to Plants and Zombies. There's no way we could get an infinite amount of Repeaters from a single seed packet nor have a million Ladder Zombies that look exactly the same (because that would mean there were like a million of people that looked exactly the same before death).

Also, let that argue about how plants behave in real life away. They have mouths, eyes, hands, thoughts, emotions etc. all human characteristics. This is a fictional game, there is nothing saying that they reproduce like they do in real-life. In fact, Pea-Nut's description in PvZH hints that the plant reproduction may be a little bit... different. Also, need I remind you that Gatling Pea's description says he has parents, heavily implying that he had a mother and a father?

Therefore, my vote is
