Uhh, I'll have you know that Ippin are not female nor male. They reproduce by simply shitting out another Ippin at an undetermined time in their life

Egads is that how they do it? Rick and Morty egg style?

Ippin self-identify. So technically sex-less but with a gender identity I guess

Maybe it's like frogs where they can change their biology/organ depending on what is needed. Like in an Ippin village full of males, they need to continue the line, so one or more will slowly become a female-type Ippin. Otherwise, and this my head canon as all my looking into the lore didn't bring up solid info, there is a ton from when they first landed in Timeless Jungle and once they die off, Ippins will no longer exist

The lore does say the Ippin alive today are the descendants of the ones that crashed on Lumios. I always pictured like a gremlins getting wet kind of reproduction with them 😅
