Playing as a female

Do you think it's weird if a guy plays video games as a female character? I don't mean like Tomb Raider or Metroid..I mean games where you have a choice. Pokemon, Saints Row 2, Skate 2, other RPG's and so on..I usually choose the girl. I just find it more entertaining haha.

Ever since Pokemon Crystal, I've been a girl, and I'm a guy.
I wouldn't say its wierd, for example, on Peal and Diamond (and I guess Platinum too), the girl characters are MUCH more better looking than guys. lucas sucks, no offence. Brendan doesn't look bad but I prefer May. Dont know why I chose the girl FR character. Also, I was girl character on Animal Crossing: City Folk because..ummm....XD
Spookily enough, in most games I find girls look more better than boys O_o

Maybe I'm gender confused XD

I don't find it weird at all. If you prefer the way the other character looks, you should choose them. I never really thought about it much, but I always pick the guy (since I am one) on both Pokemon and Animal Crossing. I do think that some of the girl Pokemon characters look better than the guys, though. I think there are a lot of people who play as the opposite gender.

Sometimes I like to play as the male just to mix things up a bit, but I usually play as the females since I like their designs better. xD

Yup, I do it most of the time. Unless this female is ugly of course. Kinda shallow...

I dont think its weird at all, I main females in many games, Peach in brawl, Toadette in MKWII, Yu and Rei in puyo pop (they're 1 pair character even tho Rei is a boy) and for some reason there end up quite a few females in my mario super sluggers team.

If there is a girl character, I play as her. I like the design better, and it's always fun playing as a female. Because usually it's just a male. But I don't mind playing as a male.

I like to spice things up a bit sometimes I'll play as a girl just for the heck of it

Lol I dunno. I haven't played too many games where you can select to play as a female aside from Pokemon :\ I need to play some more games.

I chose the girl once in Crystal because that was like the big thing about Crystal. But haven't since. I have no problems playing Nintendo's princesses in stuff like Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

But, otherwise I haven't played much where I have the choice.

When I feel bored being the boy then I play as the girl for a change. Nothing is different between the genders, but except for the looks and coloring of the fonts at times... :\

Always. I have this weird affinity for girl power, so I love kicking ass as a girl.

I played as the male characters on games that you had to choice of gender because the game had different slots, and I played as the male character after I completed the story with female character. I also play as male characters sometimes on fighting and action games as well. I never played as the male character in a Pokemon game though.

Out of pure habit I pick a boy. I don't find anything wrong with a boy playing a girl, especially if it's their preference.
Also, I rarely play any game that gives you the option to choose between a boy or girl aside from Pokemon, so I don't know about that...merely guessing that I'll pick the boy, though I might pick the girl if I don't like the boy character.
I guess for me it depends.

Pretty much, I don't mind whichever one.

I usually pick the guy because I am a guy, That's just me though. It's not really a personal preference, Just sort of a habit XD.

I really wouldn't mind if I looked like a 80 year old transvestite :x

It's just the game that matters XD.

I usually pick the female character if there's a choice, and I've been doing it since Pokemon Crystal. A notable exception would be for games where the actual game dynamics differ. For example, in Tales of Symphonia, I usually end up controlling Lloyd, Kratos, or Zelos simply because their fighting styles are more comfortable for me to use in-game than any of its female characters.

But for games where the gender makes no major gameplay differences, expect me to choose the female character. They usually have a more attractive design (especially 3rd and 4th gen Pokemon, where the male characters are downright horrid IMO. Brendan with white hair? Lucas with that weird hat? Sorry, but no).

Whenever I play a game, I always choose the female role whenever I can. It just feels nice to be the opposite gender for once. =)

This Might be Weird for Young Poeple ( Under Age 10 ) but not for Grown up

I Sometimes Play as a Female Character, But without Saving, Ex: Pokemon. Playing new Game. Choosing Female Character. Seeing whats the Diffeerence bettween it and the Male Character. Turning off without Saving. and thats it ....

I play a female character occasionally. Depends on the mood when I start a game. xD
