 * cough* Penelopea *cough* Chompzilla *cough* Both totally male *cough*

There's also a male Sunflower in the comics(Fred), despite what every Sunflower almanac says, but OK. Both are also from spin-off titles, which I highly doubt would follow the other game's canon down to the C.

Let me ask you this: which is the more likely scenario for development for the heroines:

A) "We could give hints to our ultra-secret plan to bamboozle players into thinking that plants are all the same gender, then we'll blow their minds and make them pay for more cards and premiums! GENIUS!"

B) New dev: "Hey, we need girl heroines for our cool spinoff game to maximize aour aduience"

Old dev: "But wouldn't that conflict with our ge-"

New Dev: "What's that? We've already chosen the new characters based on name recognition rather than cannonical backing, and making them female because WEV GUT 2 HAV DA MONEZ"

Plus the scenario where two developers pass the torch from one another would easily explain how such a slip-up could occur without trying to imply that plants were ment to be more complex than a cardboard sheet.
