    • I'm like Kine. But sometimes I have to get females (e.g. female starters) to breed them.

    • First things - Latias IS always female. Latias and Latios are meant to be brother and sister, so Latias is female and Latios is always male. As with legendaries, they're meant to be one of a kind, so that's why gender isn't an issue. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if all the Pokemon were male, female or genderless. My Ditto will still love them all (apart from legendaries :().

    • The real reason legendaries are genderless (aside from Latias and Latios) is due to the fact that they don't want you to breed any more of them. To say they're all genderless in particular doesn't really work, especially if you consider the anime (as seen with the Whirl Islands Lugia). There's only so many I can think are actually unique, Mewtwo being one of them.

    And then in Pokemon Snap (if anyone remembers that), the Legendary birds all come from eggs. Someone had to lay those eggs.

    • ...yes.

    If breeding legendaries were possible, there wouldn't need to be a reason to trade for them, unless you're using some cheat device.

    • Uhh... Mr. Mime?


    I saw a female Mr. Mime and I was like "WTF!?!"

    (When I caught it, I changed its name to "Mrs. Mime ^^)

    So yea, keep Mr. Mime to one gender o-o

    No way, Ho-oh is just flamboyant.

    Lugia's a dude also.

    More over the Machoke and Machamp need to be males or there needs to be more dimorphism.

    There are more than one Legendarily Pokemon. Like the Movie one was a boy, and the anime one was a girl. Also to prove this we have the elite head with Articuno

    Well, upto gen 3, i don't really think there was any problem with genders. The trouble starts in the 4th gen. Frolass (Snorunt's alternate evolved form) is a female only species. That kinda makes Glalie it's make counterpart, but Glalie can in fact be make OR female. Similarly with Gallade/Gardevoir.

    The only one gender based restriction which really makes sense, is Vespiqueen. Combee only evolves if it's a female, which is true, only female bees can become queen bees.

    Also, kinda on topic, has anyone noticed? Cressalia, a female only species, had a genderless counterpart! Darkrai!

    • Well, I agree that some should be changed to one Gender. Perhaps there should be more of a Gender difference though. I don't think that Ralts should be only Female, because it can be Gallade in a later evolution as a male. Perhaps if Ralts couldn't evolve into Kirlia unless it was female. That would be nice. Also I agree on the Mr.Mime and Jynx being their respective genders. I think Celebi should be called Female. In my opinion Xatu should be Genderless. Don't ask.

    This is a very interesting thread, but shouldn't this go in Pokemon general?
