Do you care about your Pokemon's genders?

[blue]

The only time I'm really concerned is the starters i.e a female Cyndaquil otherwise I just catch what I see!

 

[14Henderson7]

To me it doesn't really matter unless I'm breeding them later in the game. Sometimes I get bored and think if the pokemon more resembles a Female or a Male and look for that gender.

 

[Palkia]

I don't really care about the gender of a Pokemon. The only time I even think about it is when I'm breeding Pokemon or I'm giving it a name.

 

[ScarletCross]

I agree that the more feminine looking ones should be female. Like Gardevoir or Lopunny and the same goes for male.

 

[Influential_Mew]

I always aim for males unless a specific pokemon looks like a female. Example: I'd rather have a male Mr.Mime than a female one and a female Rosalia than a male. There are other factors besides the one mentioned. For instance, a female combee would render useful, while a male combee useless. You get the point. Gender differences is another plus. A male Unfezant is more pleasant to the eye than a female one, at least in my opinion it is. Don't forget Wobbuffet. A female one is totally unattractive.

Sometimes, I do since I enjoy breeding them. But in the start of my journey, I don't as long as it's the Pokemon that I want. ^^

 

[miltankRancher]

I always want a female starter, especially in GSCHGSS. Useful against Whitney's Attract.

 

[Poueff]

Depends. Since I use my pokémon and like to re-use them in different games. ie: I first got to use/know a Gyarados in one of my FireRed runs and called him Gankem, like it was the case for me. If he's male, he'll always be male, and if I see first a female magikarp in another run, I won't catch it, and I'll keep looking for a male one. The same for my female Tyranitar, Lanitia.
Actually, I'm also picky on a lot more stuff and it's the reason I won't catch any Poochyenas or Mightyenas in RSE, because the first one I used/befriended/whatever, was shiny (my shiny Razum, male too) and if by accident I find a shiny one that is female, I'll catch it but I won't use it on my team, unlike what I did with Razum x)

I normally have "trademark" pokémon in my teams, like a male Lapras or a female Skarmory, and those can't differ from their "set" gender,(the gender of the first one I caught) but it doesn't matter to me if it's the first time I'm using the poké, or when I used two of the same race but different gender (like my two pidgeys)

 

[Procrastinatron]

Depends on my character's gender. They'll all either be male or female, unless the gender ratio is imbalanced. So on a female character, I'd have an all female team, with the exception of Pokemon such as Eeevee or Zorua.

 

[oocyst]

I usually go for male pokemon because I just can't imagine some pokemon being female. If I can imagine them being female it's no problem. I don't know exactly why.

 

[Snivy063]

Sometimes, I just randomly catch those that I want that I didn't even notice it's gender. u__u;

 

[Trainer Galza]

I don't really look for a speific gender when I'm catching something.. there are a few exceptions.

Female Machop family, Makuhita Family, Hitmonchan/Lee.. (totally cool with Hitmontop, oddly) and to a lesser extent Wobbuffet .. just give me the creeps.

Theres also a few that I just can't have as male, Glaceon, Mismagius, Honchcrow, and to a lesser extent, Simipour.

The rest I can kinda roll with

 

[Payday]

I only care if I'm going to breed them, because a female parent will have pokemon of the same species, and a male will pass on moves. Mostly I don't bother; I'm not a big breeder.

One exception: attract. I always go female with attract pokemon. It just seems right.

 

[drarixio]

Male Gardevoirs give me the creeps...
There are just some Pmon that need to be female, and not male, IMO. Can you imagine a boy having a flowery pattern all over himself? (I'm pointing at you Munna...) Or wearing a skirt?
I need to catch them according to the gender they look like.

 

[Nina]

Wow there's a lot of misogyny in this thread.

I pay attention to the gender of my pokemon when I'm breeding, but besides that I never care either way.
Interestingly, by no effort made by me, I usually tend to end up with a proportionally large amount of females. In all of the games I've started I have an even ratio of having either a female or male starter, even though females have a lower percentage in starters.

 

[alisaie]

If I'm going to name my Pokemon after a certain character or something or I'm using them for breeding purposes, then I care. I wouldn't want my Pokemon named Mithos (although often mistaken as a female) to be a female Pokemon.

However, if I'm just catching them for pokedex purposes for them to just be put in the box forever, then i couldn't care less of what gender they are.

 

[Magica]

More of my Pokemon have been male, overall. But..

If it's a feminine Pokemon or masculine Pokemon, I like to get their respective gender.

Barring Pokemon like Lilligant and Tauros, which are gender-specific,
I find the following Pokemon to be:

Feminine: Gardevoir, Lopunny, Milotic, Bellossom, Roserade, Mismagius, Banette, Ninetales, Espeon, Glaceon, Delcatty, Altaria, Gothitelle, Liepard, Purugly, Gorebyss, Wigglytuff, and Clefable.

Masculine: Arcanine, Bisharp, Honchkrow, Machamp, Conkeldurr, Lucario, Hydreigon, Scizor, Jolteon, Alakazam, and most of the starters/humanshape Pokemon.

Though I've definitely trained Pokemon against this; for example, a female Arcanine.

 

[Livewire]

I always have. Male pokemon that look feminine, like a male Gardevoir or Clefairy irk me, haha. Same as a female Machamp would. 9/10 I use male pokemon anyways, unless it's like a Clefairy, Eevee, Gardevoir, etc.
