Just answer what's above. I think Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir should only be female, because they look more female than male.

I also think Chansey/Blissey should only be female, unless they already are (I don't really catch them).

I'm not sure about ralts and family, but for Blissey, jynx and their family, all are female.

I think the only reason Ralts line may have been male in the first place is so you could pass on special moves through breeding (they still could've made it 75% F 25% M, y'know?). For the most part though, whenever you see them they're almost always associated as females, mainly fan art.

I would really have liked for Mr. Mime to be purely male, but in Japan it's name doesn't indicate a gender, so instead we get a Mr. Miss situation. I think Milotic should only be female, cause it just doesn't look like the type of Pokmon you'd expect to see a male of (perhaps it's a bit sexist, but it's the truth). But that'd mean all Feebas have to be female too. However few there are...

I think that ALL pokemon should have a male and female gender, because if people are like me they only catch pokemon according to their own gender; a male only catches male pokemon and a female only catches female pokemon.

Here's a list of the Pokemon that are always one gender.

Always male: Nidoran (m), Nidorino, Nidoking, Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Tauros, Volbeat
Always female: Nidoran (f), Nidorina, Nidoqueen, Chansey, Blissey, Kangaskhan, Smoochum, Jynx, Illumise, Miltank

My question is, especially to the always male line, is how did they breed before Ditto came along?

I guess Tyrogue was adopted...

Back on topic: I think legendaries, other than [email protected], should have genders. Here's a list of them-

Mewtwo: Male
Mew: Female
Celebi: Female
Moltres: Male
Articuno: Female
Zapdos: 50% of both
Entei: Male
Suicune: Female
Raikou: Gold/Silver-Female//Crystal-Male (It looks different in Crystal)
Ho-oh: Male
Lugia: Female
Rayquaza: Male
Jirachi: 50% of both
Groudon: Male
Kyogre: 50% of both

Deoxys and the Regi's should be left Unknown.
DarkFire Charizard rules ALL!!!

The males only could breed with Ditto, or a female version of it's type, and the baby being male. So... If a Hitmonlee mated with a Jynx, if the baby was male - it'd be Hitmonlee, but if the baby was female, it'd be Smoochum. In Gold and Silver - the Abra family were all male as well. It's weird :/

That's not true, in GSC the Abra family were 75% male. I was also under the impression Eevee were always male as well, but they have the same odds as a starter (1 in 8 chance) of being female.

And don't forget that if you breed, the female determines the type that comes out the egg. So, breeding a Hitmonlee with Jynx, as in your example, would just make a Smoochum. It makes you wonder where all the female Hitmons went in the first place - after all, they can have female Machamp.

Obviously, some of us has never seen a male spider, or a female bee... males don't necessarily to be tough looking. The male spider is puny and weak, even useless. The female bee dominates over the males completely, for bees have a society that's pretty much all female.

The gender's just fine with me... though I personally will even throw Kangaskan, Chansey family and Tyrogue evolutions into the male/female pile... it's just sexist...

For females can be tough and strong. And males can be so vulnerable at times...

Err... I read that if it was like an Illumise/Volbeat breeding ting of the time. In cases where one of the parents was gender specific, it would be the gender of the child which would determine the actual Pokemon. I remember this works because I did a Hitmonlee and a Jynx to get some more Tyrogue. I got 2 Smoochums before I got my first Tyrogue. Also - how could Abra and co get eggs moves of the time? I remember my Jynx teaching Ice Punch to the newly hatched Abra when it came out. ^_^

The whole breeding thing with the Hitmon pokemon and Jynx is too confusing for me, which is why I don't raise them.

Plus, I know that males don't have to be tough looking, but it's just that some Pokemon look more like they should be female, like Bellosom or Gardevoir. I never meant for this to be sexist, but it's just a question i've been wanting to ask.

I know this is off topic, but does anyone know if there is any Pokemon that Gardevoir can breed with? I can't find anyone besides Castform.

i'm just concerned about how having something like a male roselia would influence a kid's views on sexuality and gender roles later on
What's wrong with a male roselia? I doubt anyone would care about the gender, only that boys tend to like to have boy pokemon (my brother for instance), and girls like to have female Pokemon (that's me).

Come on... even if human stereotypes tell us that there's something feminine about long silky thingies covering the legs, the Pokmon don't need to think so. Of course I automatically associate every species with a gender, but a lot of Pokmon I, for example, simply think of as genderless and can't think of as either gender.

Still not going to sprite for your fangame. Sorry, but I don't really sprite or give out permission for people to use my fake Pokémon anymore.

I always thought that Ralts looked more like a male, but the other 2 look like females. I've always liked the idea of genders having teeny differences, be it colour, size, just something so they could be either male or female, cuz for alot of Pokemon...they just don't look like females.
