4th Gen Did any male Poke fans play as the girl in D/P/Plat?

  • A very good friend of mine constantly uses female characters in most of the games they play where the gender of the character can be selected. Such is the case with their selection of character for their play through of Pokemon Platinum when they claimed their copy of it. He also knows a number of other people who also use the female character in their games.

    I'm female ( Yeah, totally. :x ), and in-game, I normally stick with the female characters. With the exception being Pokemon Ruby, where I played as Brendan, because he was awesome. In Emerald I did use May, though.

    & I have yet to play as Lucas in any of the Sinnoh games, since I'm not fond of his character design.

  • I did previously for Diamond & Pearl Versions. But I did some reset stuff as I am working on cutting back on DS possession. Owning three DS is excessive.
    I'll likely do some of that trade-it stuff at that freaky mall in my city where an EB Games is just upstairs from GameStop.​

    Now, my game versions are boy outside Diamond. I may pick up a secondary Platinum game for when I get that blue DSi that I want.​

  • The guy, erm, looked like a f*g, so I chose the girl.

    Haha pretty much the same reason I played as the female in Platinum.

    Lucas looks like he's dressed for some kinda semi-queer disco, not a Pokemon journey. I know, I know, the female is in a mini-skirt in a snowy cold region. She doesn't look exactly ready for a Pokemon journey either. Oh well.

  • I prefer to play as the male characters for immersion reasons, really. 'Tis why I don't create females on MMOs, or anything like that. Perhaps it's a bit strange, but I tend to see the in-game character as myself. Thus, the female gender can't particularly work with my vision.

  • In DP Lucas looks like an idiot with a too big hat, in Platinum he looks less like an idiot, but still has a huge hat.
    I used Dawn in Pearl, before it got stolen, and used Lucas in Platinum.

  • <-- lol female

    Anyhow, I tend to play as the character I prefer more rather than the one that more corresponds with my gender. I think for nostalgic reasons when I get Heartgold I will play as Gold and not "Miss Mario Cupcakeshine".

    haha i was going to start as the female character, and did until the first gym, but then I just restarted. it kind of felt weird playing as a girl (i don't mean that offensively)

  • I did at first because I thought Lucas' hat looked kinda *cough*GAY*cough* and thought Dawn was hot...

    But now I'm the male character.

    I originally chose Lucas, but then I used an Action Replay code to turn Lucas female. My action replay busted, and my character is stuck as a female, so technically, yes.

  • I've chosen the male character in Diamond and Platinum for the same reasons as most other people. The cap just looks too ridiculous.

    i was thinking of... but then i thought nah, if i turned up into school, or at a m8s, with a female character in any kind of game, i'd be considered "strange".

  • I always play as the guy, although once I went through Sapphire as a Gril to see the difference in text. I hate the way Dawn looks in Platinum, she looks like a Social reject!
