Oh. I thought this thread might be male or female pokemon discussion.
I will vary between the male and female protagonist which each runthrough.
Though, the first round, I am going for male.
Afterward I want to do type-specialists, for the most part, monotypes. In doing so, I will try to complete the game with very different characters. I won't worry about that until I do my first game, but it's gonna be so hard to choose which type! Though, I will likely use the female protagonist for my second game.
As far as pokemon gender difference...
Pyroar (male) - 10
Pyroar (fem) - 8.5
Meowstic (male) - 8
Meowstic (fem) - 9
I love all of them, but I have slight preferences toward male pyroar and female meowstic.
