They are the same, but in G/S/C, pokemon of the same kind but different genders were different. Say you have a male Rattata and a female Rattata. The male would have a higher attack, but the female would have higher HP. Females also would give more moves down through breeding. But it's not like this anymore. Males do the same, and the attack on males in generally not higher. Same as female HP. This is true, I know you're probably thinking that pokemon of the same kind, same level, and same gender have higher stats than others but the females do have a higher HP in the second generation games.

In LG I compared the stats of male and female Onix Lv 42 and the female's stats were under by two, So..... I guess that the females are weaker than the males :\

I'm not trying to be sexist or anyrthing sorry if I am
but I think the pokemon games are sterio typing the females,
NOT cool if your a girl :P

Gender is only used for breeding and gender-affecting moves like Attract now.

As for the stats, THEY ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT. There are only three things that affect stats: EVs, IVs, and natures. IVs and EVs are hidden values. And IVs and natures cannot be changed. Genders don't affect stats anymore.

Yeah, but when I compared the stats all had a two stat point difference though.They are different in stats but, they are only two stat points away, so basicly they are the same.But still the male and female are different in stats.

Just from that I'm going to assume you never even read my entire post earlier.

You don't read anything do you? Genders don't affect stats. Effort Values, Individual Values, and Natures affect stats. EVs, IVs and natures ahve nothing to do with shinies. EVs can add up to a grand total of 127 points to stats. IVs can add up to 31 for all six stats and each nature adds and takes away 10% of two stats.

IVs and natures are randomly determined the moment you get the Pokemon and cannot be changed. EVs are accumulated as a Pokemon levels up, depending on what kind of Pokemon it battles.

Really people, stop saying that females are weaker. If you did actually undertand the natures and what stats they raise, those IVs and what pokemon has gained more effort value points in a certain area then you wouldn't be saying females are weaker. If you still think that females are the weaker pokemon sex, then get two male pokemon at the same level. Look and compare the stats. Some are lower, some are higher, and they're both male. So stop saying that males are stronger.

In Gold\Silver\Crystal, a male's Attack DVs will be between 2-15, while a female's Attack DVs will be either 0 or 1. That was the ONLY difference.

For those that don't know, the number that determines a pokemon's stats compared to it's minimum or maximum is it's DVs, or IVs in the Advance games. DVs and IVs are basicly the genes that determine the stats. DVs can be 0-15 (00-0F in Hex) while IVs can be 0-31 (00-1F in hex). The difference it makes is that the higher the DV\IV, the closer the stat is to it's maximum.

For example:

In Gold\Silver\Crystal, a female can have these max DVs:

Attack: 2
Defense: 15
Sp Att: 15
Sp Def: 15
Speed: 15

While a male's max DVs are these:

Attack: 15
Defense: 15
Sp Att: 15
Sp Def: 15
Speed: 15

-----

In the Advance games, both genders can have these max IVs:

HP: 31
Attack: 31
Defense: 31
Speed: 31
Sp Att: 31
Sp Def: 31
