Did you choose the male or female character?
 
Did you choose the male or female character as the person you are in Diamond/Pearl?

For me, I choose the guy just becuase I'm a male. Some people complain about the hat or other things. Explain your feelings!

Nacon October 29th, 2007 2:22 PM

I don't care, but I picked male, since that's my default choice and whatnot.

if the characters were customizable... you'd bet your bottom dollar mine would still be a male.

I don't like the pink pokenav.

Elvir October 29th, 2007 2:50 PM

Kind of sexist, but I chose female, and decided to see the perspective of a different gender in pokemon.

That doesn't have to do with being sexist. Why do you say that?

For me, I chose male because I'm male. Simple. I really don't care about the outfits, though some people complain about Diamond's. I hope customization is available in future games, though. And I mean something better than PBR.

Ichikool October 29th, 2007 2:59 PM

I chose female becuase I am female, desu. =0

Jorah October 29th, 2007 3:01 PM

Female...because I'm female.

It looks red to me. I don't like the look of the blue one even though blue is my favourite colour.

I didn't know there was a difference between the outfits in diamond and pearl.

Gibbo October 29th, 2007 3:25 PM

I chose the male for obvious reasons, I thought he looks kinda funny at first, now he makes me laugh with his scarf.

Though when Crystal came out I chose the girl simply because I could. :p

GenPirate October 29th, 2007 3:25 PM

I chose male because I am, well, a guy.

Virtual Headache October 29th, 2007 3:49 PM

I chose female, since I'm a girl (duh!).
I had to play as a guy the first 2 generations, so I'm actually happy I've got the choice now and will always pick the girl^^

J-Rad October 29th, 2007 3:51 PM

boy duh, thining about strting over so merlin can be my name...

airconditioning October 29th, 2007 4:04 PM

I picked the male because I'm not a frickin' tranny.

Siliva October 29th, 2007 4:08 PM

Like most everyone, I chose which ever gender was their own. For me, male. But I got bored, started over, and chose the girl. I like to have the different experiences.

Harwinder October 29th, 2007 4:14 PM

I chose boy simply because I am a boy. But I have to admit I DO NOT like how the boy looks like in the game, also I don't like how the rival looks like in the game. But the girl (Dawn) look OK since she IS in the anime.

men wear skirts in certain cultures... but I know where you're going with that.


I will admit, though, the Female trainer's scarves look really cool when she runs... kinda like ninja scarves...lol.

Shem October 29th, 2007 5:54 PM

I chose male, femal was fugly in this game...

Lady Nicole October 29th, 2007 8:49 PM

I went with the female character because I'm a girl :)

Sammi October 29th, 2007 8:57 PM

I'm a girl, mainly because I am a girl, but also because I like her design a bit better.

I think I've only played as a guy once since I've had the choice to choose. It was kind of weird. But that's just me.

Gunn October 29th, 2007 9:23 PM

Female since I am one, and I'm sure that's what the developers intended most of their audiences to do: play as the character that matches their gender. But I know that others make the opposite selection for different reasons. My sister usually plays as a male character. My guess would be because she is a bit tomboyish.

Ichida October 29th, 2007 9:27 PM

To any males who picked the female just because of that hat, I offer you this: would you rather wear that same hat in real life, or undergo an operation to change your gender? That's practically the decision you're making. :P

Mewstor October 30th, 2007 4:50 AM

Didn't answer the poll cause for me it differs. When I first start out a new game I tend to choose female. If I start over some of my GBA games (FR or Ruby) I pick the one I feel like picking that time. If I ever get enough money to buy myself Pearl I'll start as a male cause in my Diamond I'm a female.

Smarties-chan October 30th, 2007 5:05 AM

I picked the male character because I wanted to avoid gender confusion on Wi-fi. I do, however, like the female character's design more and now I wish I would have picked her instead. =\

Yes, because obviously picking a virtual character of another gender can be compared to having a sex change operation. =P

EmeraldSky October 30th, 2007 5:46 AM

I selected the girl because she looks beautiful. (my character is named Dawn)
