Are You A POKeSexist?

I try to keep a balance of males and females on my team (50/50). I suppose I just like balance in all things.
 
I tend to have my Pokemon the genders I want it to be, but they're usually mixed. It really depends on what I'm nicknaming them such as a character from a show, game etc.
 
When they were first introduced, I was quite adamant about having only male Pokemon in my team for whatever reason. I think that stopped after Crystal, and now, unless I have a particular nickname I want to use that happens to be gender-specific (i.e. I'm naming a Pokemon after a character or person I know), I don't really care about genders.
 
To me, certain Pokemon have to be certain genders, like Gardevoir has to be female for me. While Scizor has to be male. I would consider myself a Pokesexist.
 
When I first started playing, (like 2 years ago or so) I only used males.
Then, that changed and I would only try and get females and be somewhat disappointed if the poke I got was male. Nowadays, that's still KINDA in effect but to a much, much lesser extent. I just tend to prefer pokes female for whatever reason. I do think some pokemon look very male, while some look very female (jigglypuff, gothorita, chikorita, machamp)
 
I just played the game and paid no heed to gender, save for circumstances when the gender decided the evolution (e.g. ralts) and I wanted to try out a particular one.
 
I don't care about genders at all, but when I get a rare pokemon, I like it to be male, so I can breed it with a ditto. Aside from that, I never pay attention to a pokemon's gender.
 
Usually the only difference it makes for me is if I give it a feminine or masculine name. I never specifically look for pokemon, unless breeding.
 
I don't really care about genders, as it has nothing to do with it's stats. As everyone's saying, it only matters for egg moves. I only find it funny when I catch a female masculine Pokemon like Timburr, and a male feminine Pokemon like Gothita. But as it's just gender, I trained my male Gothita and kept it in my team until I defeated E4 in B2.
 
I am ;^_^

I dunno, but I see Pokemon and they are either male or female to me. Some (Whimsicott, Ampharos, Pikachu, etc.) can be either so I don't mind with them. But, if I specifically see the Pokemon as a particular gender, then I will not capture it unless it is that gender.
 
I sometimes care about genders if I think the pokémon I'm catching looks more like a male or a female, but that's really just for my party pokémon and usually it doesn't bother me, especially if I'm looking for a rare one I'm just grateful to have caught it never mind the gender lol :)
 
I hate to admit it, but in a way I am. I tend to pick the gender based on how the Pokemon looks, and most of the Pokemon I pick for my team look very masculine. However, currently on Sapphire I have a female Milotic and much prefer that, because it looks more female than it does male. But I can't settle for a female Heracross, for example, because IMO the female's horn looks weird and not as cool as the male's. It all comes down to what looks better for me, since it doesn't have an affect on stats.

You're not alone. I feel the same way about GEODUDE, SCYTHER, GYARADOS, MACHOP and many others.
 
I find it hilarious having bizarre gender Pokemon like a female Machamp.

Bahahaha. So true! Sometimes I purposely catch the opposite gender of what a Pokemon looks like. Male Gardevoir, female Machamp, female Mr. Mime, etc lol. Good stuff!
 
Since Nuzlockin' tends to be my style of playin' the games now... I can't be picky at all. Whatever comes up first is what I catch. If I plan a story or comic, I'll develop them onwards. No pickiness.
