Do you ever play as your other gender?

[Glaciezxstar]

On my first playthrough, I'd stick to my own gender. (I'm a female.)
On my second playthough, I'd play as the opposite sex just for teh lulz.
(Though I'm not gonna play as Ethan in my heart gold, even if I hate lyra alot. Lost silver scared me. >_>;)

 

[Daydream]

It depends how I feel really. I mean, most often I'll play as my gender, but sometimes I'll pick a girl just for the change when doing another playthrough of a game.

 

[Butterfree-Charizard]

I usally play as my own gender, I just like it better that way.

 

[chaos11011]

On Leaf Green I played as Red once.Then I discovered Leaf and I pick her everytime. <3

On Johto it's simple,SS for Silver HG for Kotone/Lyra

The first time I beat a Hoenn was with May.But I use the Brendan now. (same scenario as LG just gender swaped)

On Sinnoh I just flip a coin to see which gender I use.

On Issue I used the Boy twice,I'm saving the girl for my English copy.

I primarily play as my gender, Male. I am, however, currently playing as a female in my current Platinum playthrough, just for the change, an dthis is after countless playthroughs as a male character. Also, when I was younger and first got Crystal, I thought you had to play as the female to find the Unown. (Don't ask me why. XD) Other than that, I pretty much only play as the male character.

Depends on the team I've decided on.
If it's a very masculine looking team, I'll choose the girl.
Very feminine looking team, I'll use the boy.
Cuz I'm cool like that. B]

 

[sfalpharyu]

I stick to my own gender because as weird as it is I picture it as myself on the journey lol

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

I find the female sprites more aesthetically pleasing, so I usually choose them.

 

[femtrooper]

I am a girl and I always stick to my own gender. I guess because almost every other game you play it's always a boy, I like the option of actually playing the game as a girl!

 

[Logiedan]

Sometimes I pick based on the design. Usually I go for the female though, i've done it in Crystal Version to the Black and White. Except for HeartGold/SoulSilver, I didn't like Lyra's overworld sprite. :/

 

[Ayselipera]

I usually go with the female player, but after the hundredth time of playing or so I'll switch off to the male player. The only time I really started playing as the male for the majority of each time I began a new game was for HeartGold and SoulSilver. Something about Lyra was just annoying after a while so I had to stop playing as her. Not to mention I hated how Lyra's hair would block out some of my taller Pokemon when they walked around together.

 

[PikaPrincess]

Nah. I might try it out for fun though. :)

 

[tobi-ksla]

I normally play as the male character because I'm a dude myself.

But recently, in Heart Gold, I've made my character female. Her hat reminds me of a hat worn by a character that I read about in a Pokémon spin-off manga.

And I'm going to choose the female character for Black Version... For slightly different reasons...

... Though I'll most likely pick the male character when the third game comes out.

 

[Everyone Esplode Noaw]

I used AR to play as a girl once. And Red, Blue, Rocket Grunt, and Rival. :)

It was cool!

 

[ConPO]

I sometimes go as a girl, like I did in Diamond, but in every other game I've played, I've gone as a boy. I always thought that the girl characters aren't as well designed as the male ones. Except Dawn, that's why I went with her. I may pick White over Black though. She looks cool.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I am a girl that chooses to play as her assigned gender as a girl. The only time that I will ever play as a boy in any video game is if there is no female character to choose from


:t354:TG

 

[Roxichu]

Only when the male trainer sprite looks vastly better than the female.

So far, I've only chosen the male trainer for R/S/E. I might go with the male trainer again for B/W, just because I don't like the huge ponytail look. :cheeky:

 

[TheRkyeet]

I played as a girl for D/P/Pt, but only because I hated the male sprite with a vengeance. I am only usually male so I can name myself Kamina. I don't really see why people get worried about what gender they are in video games. Mostly it doesn't matter at all.

 

[Jameska]

For me, it depends on the art, most the time, one character had more effort put in, so I choose it. Lately I've been choosing Female more and more. I'm a freaking tranny.

 

[Alternative]

I usually play as the opposite gender in my games. It's very rare for me to play as the male protagonist in the games. I play as the female protagonist since when I started performing challenges my usernae on this site was "Hayley Williams" so I thought it'd be easier to run through with the name "Hayley" throughout the games.
