Male or Female?

  • [SIZE="a"]I'm wondering if gender is important to you. For me, some pokemon just don't fit as male. Like Espeon or Glaceon. They both seem so elegant and etc.[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE="a"]Ahah yeah. But then again, there couldn't be further pokemon generation if there wasn't a male. XD. There is no difference if they are male or female right?[/SIZE]

  • LOL, sadly yes, I do care. If a Pokemon looks like it should be a female(i.e mareep and jigglypuff) then i'll get it as female. I fit looks like it should be male(i.e growlithe and machamp) then i'll get it as male. I'm trying to kick myself out of that habit and just worry about stats and such. IT'S SO HARD. I feel like I get too proud of my Pokemon and I become attached to em. wah wah sob sob...

  • In Playthroughs it doesnt really matter which gender ur pokemon are...
    TBH I tend to dont pick what gender my pokemon are but I want to have at least one of each in my team....(ex.5Males-1Female and diverse)cause of attraction skill etc

  • I used to only catch females of a Pokemon unless if it was a male-dominant species like Eevee.

    However, in Black I started catching Pokemon regardless of the gender.

  • I wanted all the Pokemon that I caught to be male, if possible because that stemmed from the fact that I caught mostly females in past playthroughs. Now I'm somewhat unbiased towards natures, for breeding purposes or just laziness.

  • I really don't care too much when it comes to genders, since I'm one that doesn't really put in a lot of effort in breeding Pokemon. The only time I really pay attention to gender is if I'm trying to catch a Pokemon that has a different evolution based on their gender (ex.: Froslass). The only other thing that gender affects for me is what I nickname my Pokemon.

    I generally catch whichever gender I trip over first, unless I've planned specifically otherwise or have breeding plans. Sometimes I do go out of my way to get the least "appropriate" gender for the sake of amusement; screw the rules, I like my Gorebyss male. :'D But really I can't see how a Pokemon's gender can be terribly "unfitting" or "disturbing", especially when it comes to the more animal-like ones. In the real world, animal genders aren't viewed that way. Male peacocks are colorful and elegant, female bears are hulking and physically powerful, etc. Each Pokemon species is just that: a species. Most of them have both genders so both genders work just fine to me.

  • Gener isn't important to me at all. Whatever gender the Pokemon is, I don't mind it doesn't make the Pokemon any different.

    Well said. I personally find it funny with my female Mankey or things like that, but it's not like I'm avoiding it. I capture whatever gender I meet first and if it seems weird then it's that much more special.

    Ahah yeah i guess u can still decide gender at the end of the game if you really care about it. XD. But getting a female eevee with right nature is just a pain. T.T[/SIZE]

  • I usually don't care what gender my Pokemon are but usually I get female starters so it's become an expectation of mine to get female starters. So when ever I do get a male, it seems a little odd. Some Pokemon like Gyarados or Atcanine don't seem fitting to be female so with those Pokemon I try to get the gender it looks like.
