In every Pokemon game I've played so far, I've played with the male character. The only reason why I do is because I dislike how they design the girls and nothing more. I mean, I've played Bayonetta,Final Fantasy, and other RPG's and fighting games where I've had to or chose to play as girls. So why should I be uncomfortable playing the role of a girl in a video game? I think people who are uncomfortable playing different genders need to remember in the end that's it's a game, and the fun part of playing video games is experiencing things that you haven't before. Then again, the same could be said of life, but that's another story.
