do genders matter when catching Pokémon?

[sherreamethyst]

I usually try to catch a gender that would match their appearance. If ima get a Jigglypuff, it's gonna be a girl. If I had a boy, that would just be embarrassing. XD

I'm not particular about genders. Although I'd rather catch a female since it will be slightly easier to breed.

Unless it affects the evolution (like Combee,Burmy,Kirlia or Snorunt for instance) I don't really mind.
Although, getting novelty female starters are always nice ...

i'm exactly the same. i'd never catch a female mr. mime, geodude, or slowbro xDD.

I always try for male, the little pink female symbol bothers me for some reason. Breeding being the obvious exception.

The only instances where I care about genders is for breeding purposes, or if the Pokémon evolves in a certain way only if they're a specific gender. But if niether of those reasons apply, I don't mind which gender my Pokémon are.

It doesn't matter to me what gender each Pokemon is, but it only matters for me if they are a Ghost type because I want all female ghost type Pokemon and I got them all in Pokemon Black and White without even trying.

Yeah, I wouldn't catch a female Gible, a male Chikorita and more..

well, except if I'm breeding lol

 

[Hikamaru]

In my earlier games, my main team usually consisted of females.

In Black however, I do catch mixed genders and do Ditto breeding.

 

[Markichuuuuu]

I usually don't mind unless I have a certain nickname picked out and it would only be suitable for one gender.

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

Not usually, though I am picky when it comes to pokemon like machop (Male preferred) or... um... buneary (Female preferred). Sometimes gender actually matters, though, especially when I try to fill my pokedex (ex: combee)

 

[Kano Shuuya]

It depends on the Pokemon.

Some of them I'd rather be male, and aim for male versions before I catch them, and I also do that with females as well. For example I'd rather Jigglypuff be female, and Charmander be male. XD So it's based on looks if it's extreme enough.

 

[Yoshikko]

(I could have sworn I already posted in this thread before o.o) Anyways I don't really think they matter, but I really want almost all of my Pokémon to be male and I don't know why. When I picture my Pokémon I imagine them in the anime, and then I try and decide what gender suits them best and that's male most of the time. Except for Pokémon like Jumpluff and etc.

I don't find it matters unless there's an evolution difference or you want to breed them(I can't catch a fricking female blitzle though)

 

[eeveegirl777]

Haha, I actually spent nearly 20 minutes looking for a male Slowpoke in HG. A female Slowking is... pretty weird imo.

 

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

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.

 

[G_Sylar]

Yeah, I select the gender I want depending the appearance.

Rename it Slowqueen then : D

 

[miltankRancher]

I prefer females over males, but I do not look for a female one if i already caught a male one. I only look for the female counterpart, when I need to breed it.

 

[TwiDragon]

I want it to match there apperence and nickname I give them

Gardevior and Gothitelle would be female
while
Stoutland and Machamp would be male

I tend to not care if its anything that doesn't match ;)

 

[Melinda]

I didn't notice it until last year, but I tend to catch female Pokemon more than males. I release all my males catches. =[
