Strange. Almost everyone here only worries about gender if it has some significant part in the way they play (AI: Breeding, evolution, ability, etc.)
For me, I look at my Pokemon and can almost always select a gender for it. I can pass with a Male or Female Blaziken, but other likes Sceptile or Gardevoir have to be Male and Female respectively. I'm a very aesthetically-oriented person and it bugs the hell out of me to see a friggin' FEMALE Aggron or a MALE Milotic in my part. Just, NO.
Case and point: I WILL go way out of my way to get a Pokemon with a gender I can agree with.
