Dude 11/19 or 10/19 [one maybe is debatable but it really isn't a skirt I would go with 11/19 is more accurate] of female protagonists in the core series of pokemon games didn't have a skirt. Including 5 out of the first 6 female playable characters of which the only one of those was the fire red leaf green remake that had a skirt. It wasn't even until Diamond/Pearl and or FireRed/LeafGreen that there was a female protagonist that had a skirt. [just in case you want to claim this is recent only]. If anything the female characters had more utilitarian almost climbing/hiking gear type clothes for most of the early games cause they were going on a long distance hiking adventure.

In addition, while there is a smaller sample size even a number of the female rivals didn't have skirts including the first few. There is no female rival with a skirt until XY gen 6. Also, many if not most of Ash's female traveling companions in the anime, including the very freakin' first one Misty most definitely did not have a skirt.

And no, the frills at the bottom of May's shirt do not count as a skirt.

If anything it is more traditionally pokemon to NOT have a skirt as a main female character. Normally there is some sort of tights/shorts thing the female player wears, which actually you can buy tights and wear in this game and the school uniform shorts totally are appropriate to earlier character designs.

Also female school uniforms without skirts are not uncommon even in before "now adays-wokeness" In many countries and areas. Many places have non-skirt based uniforms and have had for many years.

Look, I hate the wokeness as much as anyone else but this just isn't even close to damning enough. Maybe they did do it for some woke reason, but even if they did this isn't even anything that different from the core series.
