This question has always bothered me. What the heck is Yoshi? I know he's always refered to as a he, but then he goes laying eggs left and right. I know this is a video game, but wouldn't that make Yoshi a she? I always just thought that the eggs in Yoshi's Island were like nothing more than ammo...But what do you think?

Kweeh! Kweeh!

Yoshis are a rae of dinosaurs, so either there's both hes and shes, or they reproduce without mating, in which case they would be its.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up

I have another theory. Because the baby Yoshis can lay eggs right after they`re born and only after they eat an enemy, I think that all both male and female Yoshis (who have`nt mated) can produce eggs with stronger shells as an ammo. Female Yoshis (who have mated) can also lay eggs, but these eggs have thicker hides and eventually hatch into Yoshis.

My Theory is that Yoshi, THE Yoshi, is a very manly woman, and the other Yoshi's can vary in Gender.

I agree with the people who say that Yoshis can be male or female. I also say that generally, Yoshis don't "lay" weapon eggs, they just create them, or turn bad guys into them.

Bah! You Rapscallions!

I'm not sure what "The Yoshi" is, but I'm guessing females are Yo(She)'s and the males are Yo(He)'s?

Yoshi is definitely a he. Only when when Yoshies mate do they produce eggs with babies inside. Other than that, I think that enemies that are turned into eggs pass thru a special tube leading from Yoshi's digestive system- or something- and into a system that forms a shell around the enemy. You know, like if whatever Yoshi ate was too big or something, that would happen. (Just a thought, though.)

He's a cartoon lizard! You guys shouldn't take this stuff so seriously.

This is a Mario message board. We're supposed to take it seriously. :)

It dosen't realy matter what gender Yoshi's are. Does anybody know the gender of a Pikachu??

I see all, hear all, and know all. (At least about SMB DX.)

Well, Lita, it seems to me that THE Yoshi isn't even in Yoshi's Story anyway.
