I choose my gender in every game unless I hate the character representing it, so female. I dont think Ill like another game in the series as much as XY just because of trainer customization. Hopefully the XY sequels have it and Ill be set.
I can't think of a game that's given me the option to pick a male or female where I don't reliably choose the female in outside of B/W. ^-^; I just relate to women more and generally greatly prefer their design. But in a game where I can change their appearance? Female automatically wins, by default, guaranteed.
I picked the boy in Y ;)
But in platinum i picked Dawn,
she was quit cool!
But for me the gender isnt importent,
never had the feeling that "this is a 10 years old version of me" :)
I've gone with the female character in run one. I've been playing as male for most of my play-through of games prior to gen six, and when X and Y were released, I wanted to side with something different. In my second and third runs, however, it was male.
Well, I chose the boy because I'm a boy! But I have to say ... the female character has a lot more costumization! For example, the hair-styles. The male character only has 3 or 4( I don't remember well) hair-styles, but the female one has many!
I normally don't choose to play as a girl. I don't mind it, but if it's a silent protagonist that I'm supposed to identify with, then I'll choose the character closest to myself. On top of that, in Y, the male had the customization features I wanted. Wish there was a way for me to upload his outfits before I started a New Game.
I play as a male. I've tried playing as the female a couple of times but always restart the save after an hour or so. Just doesn't feel right cause I'm a male in real life and when I play Pokémon I want the character to be a little digital version of myself.
I played a boy because I have this weird complex where I feel awkward picking outfits for a girl but if I have the choice to give her functional armor (not the awkwardly sexual kind) then Id rather play a female.
