Did Pokemon just confirm that two genders are coming back?

Scarlet and Violet ditched the ‘are you a boy or a girl’ thing in favor of giving you a character creation where you could either make yourself look more feminine or more masculine. But here, in the screenshot it kinda confirms you’ll get a different rival depending on your gender?

I thought the trailer was fine, by the way. Like the new battles. It reminds me of the Manga, when Giovanni told Red that Pokemon battles aren’t just about the Pokemon but the trainers too, and how the trainers need to move and command. I remember reading that thinking that was badass, wanting that in the games.
