So, you may know most Pokemon have genders.

But do you actually like catching Pokemon with a certain gender?

For me, I always like my Lopunny, Manectric, Golduck, Roserade, Skuntank, Ambipom, Minccino, Cinccino, Azumarill, Gothitelle and Gardevoir at least female.

if the gender differences don't look very good to me

for example, i prefer male Vileplumes than the female ones- the spots are too large on the female ones and distracting.

also i hate looking at the female Hippowdon, brown suits the species better. Also like the male blue Jellicent better and the male Unfezant looks more interesting with the mask- the female just looks a bit bland. Female Wobbuffets give me nightmares :P

I'm a breeder, so of course I care about the genders of my Pokémon. I always try to get a female of a rare Pokémon so that I could churn out some more to distribute to everyone else in need. Also, I always try to find ways to breed a better Pokémon, through the use of certain egg moves.

When it comes to the Dream World, any Pokémon that I get has to be a female, if at all possible. Otherwise, the session is a bust.

I did, like when RSE first came out, my friend told me that the gender actually affected IV's as in the females usually had weaker IV's. I'd always catch males, I was so sexist.

But I found out eventually, and I felt really stupid. Now, gender doesn't really matter. I aim for natures now.

I usually use male Pokemon, but unless the Pokemon looks kinda weird as a female (like Machamp), I have no problem with them being female. I plan to make a Hydreigon Im going to breed for female so my new OU team wont be all male, so I get some variety.

And of course, some Pokemon like Mawile I prefer being female.

Honestly I can care less about genders. If there is a wild pokemon I want on my team, I'll catch it. I won't go "OMG ITS A BOY I GOTTA KEEP WALKING UNTIL I FIND A FEMALE" which can take awhile.

Well it really depends what I'm trying to do with the Pokemon. For instance for specific breeding purposes I may want females that can pass on DW abilities and such, however I may also want males for passing on specific egg moves. So it does often matter.

However sometimes I like having specific genders for naming and icon (or personal) purposes for instance my favorite "Gorebyss" is my beautiful female one named, "Porcelina". When I was breeding my Gorebyss to perfection I scrapped all of the Male Clamperls until I got that one perfect female. She's my favorite Gorebyss.

Yes, because I spend a lot of time breeding. Also, because I usually think of funny names in advance that are sort of gender specific, so if it isn't the right gender I'll pass it up in the name of funny.

Honestly I dont care anymore. I use to care back in Pokemon Crystal but ever since I knew the percentage of Pokemon (especially now in Pokemon Black and White) I can careless because it is not worth the wait to find a rare Pokemon and if it is a wrong gender, time to waste another hour looking for one.

I don't really care that much, although sometimes the Pokemon's gender does affect the nickname I give it.

Like, for example, if I had a female Pokemon I might name it Joanne, but for a male Pokemon it would be Joe. That sort of thing. (Note: I do not actually give my Pokemon human names like that. Usually their type or species has something to do with it.)

I suppose certain Pokemon's stats will differ between different genders, although most of the time not much will really change. So, it really doesn't matter what gender your Pokemon is, unless you're a VERY specific collector or a breeder, or simply like a certain gender of Pokemon.

Racism came to be because people thought it would be easier to blame the minorities, like gays and blacks, for all their own screw-ups instead of taking responsibility for them.

I care sometimes, like if the nickname I want affects the gender. For example, I wanted a male Gothita to name it BornThsWay. And then there are some gender differences I prefer. Male Jellicent and Unfezant > Female Jellicent and Unfezant.

I do care, though in a very odd way. I feel an ocd type need for there to be a balance of genders in my team if at all possible. I don't wanna be a "girly man" with only females, but I don't wanna seem like I'm sexist or something by using only males. I know that it's a dumb way of doing things, but I'm already in the habit of doing it like this. Oh well XD.

Sometimes Pokémon just don't seem right with certain genders. Like a female Mr. Mime. :P I am always picky about genders. x_x

The cat Pokemon on my team must always be female. Otherwise, I want a team that's a mix of genders, usually a 3-3 mix, or a 2-3-1 mix if there's a genderless Pokemon involved.

That's about it as far as my concern for genders is concerned.
